# Practical: create an idea bank

AI Content Creation | Module 06: Find ideas with a purpose

## Your goal

Build twelve ideas across three themes, then choose three to make.

Bring together the two lessons in this module. Build twelve ideas across three themes, then choose three to make. Use the fictional Green Bench source pack, and keep missing details visible in your working notes.

Your finished work should include: Twelve ideas with reader questions and formats. A scorecard and three selected ideas with reasons. Keep the actual text in the workspace. For media, describe your file or storyboard, its version, and the decisions it shows. Media files stay on your device; this form saves text only.

Try this review experiment: Change the available production time from two hours to thirty minutes. Explain whether your choices change. Record what changed and why. You may use your own AI tool or work from the supplied sample drafts. Label which approach you used. The checklist checks completeness and your review record, not creative quality.

## Source pack

FICTIONAL PRACTICE BRIEF: Green Bench is a student repair club. It runs a free notebook-cover repair workshop on Saturday, 14:00 to 16:00, in Room B. There are 12 places. Learners bring one worn notebook; tools and scrap card are provided. Register using the club form. No date, form URL, access arrangements, impact figures, or testimonials have been supplied. Ask the organiser about missing details before publishing. This is a creative exercise, not a real event.

## Worked example

Build twelve ideas across three themes, then choose three to make.

### Your finished work

Twelve ideas with reader questions and formats. Start from the examples in the two earlier lessons, then write your own complete version or a detailed account of your media asset.

### Evidence and review

Use this experiment: Change the available production time from two hours to thirty minutes. Explain whether your choices change. Record the observations, source checks, and any unresolved questions.

### Revision and next step

Describe a specific change to this assignment and explain how it helps the reader. Keep the previous version for comparison.

## Guided practical

1. Revisit lessons 06-01 and 06-02 and collect your drafts.
2. Build twelve ideas across three themes, then choose three to make.
3. Use your own tool or the supplied examples. Keep the source facts, prompt, and draft together.
4. Change the available production time from two hours to thirty minutes. Explain whether your choices change.
5. Revise the work, complete the worksheet, and record any remaining publication blockers.
