A boundary is not a ban. It is a condition that protects the learning goal. These resources give you task structures that build integrity into the design rather than policing it after the fact.
When integrity is designed in from the start, teachers stop asking whether students used AI and start asking whether they can show their thinking.
"Options are allowed. Decisions must be shown." That one norm, consistently applied, flips the focus from product to process and makes integrity observable without playing detective.
The Boundary Card gives students three boxes to fill before they begin: AI can help with, AI cannot do, and I must show. The power is not the form. It is the boundary language that makes thinking visible.
If AI can draft instantly, the safeguard is sequence. Lock evidence first, then draft. Students select approved evidence anchors, explain why each matters, and commit to using them as the spine before any drafting begins.
One claim, one check against class-approved sources, one limit or uncertainty. A routine, not a unit. The Verification Slip forces a pause: what am I asserting, how do I know, and what could make this unreliable?
A low-stakes, high-signal in-class re-performance. One decision made, one piece of evidence used, one uncertainty. Creates a secure evidence point without turning the classroom into a surveillance zone.
Standardise thinking evidence, not the tool. Stable process artefacts that travel across platforms: Boundary Card, Evidence Lock list, Verification Slip, and the 90-second decision vignette.
