AI Retrieval Grid Builder

What does this do?

Generates a structured retrieval grid — a grid of recall questions students complete from memory — from a topic brief. Each cell is a short, targeted retrieval question.

When should I use it?

Use this at the start of a lesson or as an independent revision task to activate prior knowledge with low-stakes recall.
