Detective finale

Hygiene, doors, judges, theatre, an image, a coat, a line, an experiment, a trail, three sources, a finger.

The whole file: from piles to a finger

The Detective finale is not a new ten-page report. It is a defence of craft. You can do three piles. You can do doors to a date, a number, a name. You can do a ladder of textbook, wiki, teacher. You can do a bin for a fake. You can do a sign on an image. You can do a study alarm. You can do a health and politics line. You can do a two-window experiment. You can do a trail. You can do three seen sources and a finger under the line. Today you say it. You show a card. You show one crossed-out fake. Tomorrow Helper will want a paraphrase. Without Detective you would paraphrase a lie. With Detective you paraphrase only green. That is a bridge. If you have no bin because “everything sat”, try once more an old lecture from chat and look for a hook on purpose. A detective with no bin is often a detective who did not look. Looking is honour. An empty bin after looking is a win. An empty bin with no looking is sleep.

Bára wants the finale “let AI sum it up for me”. Adam: that would be a summary with no file. They go a checklist. Bára shows a bin with Novák 1998. She shows a card of three sources. She says the line. A parent plays headteacher for two minutes. Bára makes it. If she read a paragraph from chat, the finale would fall. The file is in the notebook. The window is closed. That is a picture of Detective: less text from a model, more things on the table. A logo nowhere. A finger on page 41.

💡

Show a bin. A finale with no crossed-out fake is suspect — as if nothing escaped you. Something always escapes. A bin is honour.

A Detective file — what must lie on the table

On the table: a textbook, a source card, a trail, a bin (a slip of a dead citation), a caption if you had an image, a line before/beyond. In the head: infection of a paragraph, agreement is not proof, three chatbots are not three sources. Who has that can do Helper. Who has only pretty paragraphs can do a cheat. The finale is short, so it is not a night marathon. Diagnosis: a bin missing → go back to a fake citation. A line missing → politics health. A finger missing → a footnote. Do not jump. Tell a parent that chat does not lie on the table as a book. It lies as scissors for questions. Scissors are not a source. A source has a page. You can carry this sentence into Helper and to a teacher. Without it you will shorten water from the window and think you are shortening work.

A 2-minute defence. An outline out loud.

  1. What made-up is and why it infects.
  2. Show a door of one hook.
  3. Show three sources.
  4. Show a bin.
  5. Say that chat is not a source.

Tick the checklist. If the table is missing, it is not a finale. A bad finale: a generated summary of the level handed in as your words.

⚠️

Do not let a model write a defence and read it from paper like an actor. That is an author again. Points yes. Sentences you.

Why this right now

You are in the course Ask with Martin, level Detective. You work in a chatbot (ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude) — same game, different brand. No code. A parent or the school creates the account. A child’s email does not belong here.

This is not the Nhà phát minh level. There you build a chatbot on your own website. Here you are a user: a question, a check, a citation.

You will know this lesson by one sentence: A detective shows a table: sources, a bin, a finger. A chatbot does not lie on the table as a source. When you can say it to a parent or a teacher, you have got the core. The rest is practice, not magic.

Helper will shorten and expand. Without a file you will shorten a lie and expand carnival. Today a table. Then you may be a helper of work, not a helper of a cheat.

Four things you will build in this course

The course has four small projects. You do not have to do them all at once. Today you add only what this lesson can do.

🏫 A report with citations

An outline, three sources that exist, and a sentence in your own words. AI must not be the only author.

A report is defended by a table, not by length.

📝 Test training

Coach role: let it ask, do not let it say the answer. You count / answer yourself.

A coach does not belong in the finale as a source.

📅 Family planner

Tasks for the week (not passwords, not marks). A parent sees the plan, not your chat.

Planner: even a date has a door.

📜 An AI code for the class

Seven short rules on a poster. No horror — a how-to.

Code: a bin for a fake as a symbol.

Workshop: two minutes at the table

Stack the table. Đóng chat. Two minutes of defence to a parent. A bin must be visible. A finger on a book.

  1. Stack on the table a book, a source card, a trail and a bin with at least one crossed-out made-up. Ten minutes of stacking, two minutes of speech. Chat closed, so you do not read a defence from the window.

  2. Speech according to five points. Do not look into chat.

  3. A parent asks where one fact is from. You show.

  4. A parent asks about one fake. You show the bin.

  5. Write xong or a hole. Helper only after xong.

Practice: what is missing on the table

Symptom → which Detective lesson.

  1. Pretty APA, the book is not there.

  2. Two bots agree, a book unopened.

  3. A defence read from a generated paragraph.

Now you 💪

Go through three checks. At each one tick in your head: can I see it, or not?

  1. A table exists physically.
  2. A bin is not empty because you did not look.
  3. A defence is your sentences.

If something is missing, go back to the steps above. This is not a test for marks. It is a safety net, so you go on sure, not confused.

Check: Two minutes at the table: sources, a bin, a finger. Detective holds.
