“Create a classroom activity”
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
“Create a 20-minute differentiated writing activity for Year 9 English (age 13–14) on persuasive techniques. Design three versions: support (sentence starters and a word bank), core (task only), and extension (task plus a challenge to critique a given example). All three versions should produce comparable learning outcomes. Include assessment criteria for each level.”
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?
Three-tier differentiation structure reflects real classroom practice
Instruction for comparable outcomes ensures no student is unfairly disadvantaged
Assessment criteria make the activity immediately usable without extra planning
