Teacher Prompt: "Imagine you are an expert in facilitating deep analytical discussions. My [Grade Level] students are currently studying [Topic/Text, e.g., 'The American Revolution' or 'Romeo and Juliet']. I need 5 open-ended discussion questions that encourage critical thinking, go beyond basic recall, and require students to analyze, synthesize, or evaluate the material.

Focus on generating questions that can spark a rich classroom discussion or serve as short essay prompts."
