Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
“Create a 45-minute lesson plan on adding fractions with unlike denominators for Year 6 students (age 10–11). Include: learning objective, warm-up activity (5 mins), main teaching (20 mins), group activity (15 mins), exit ticket (5 mins). Highlight where common misconceptions typically appear.”
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?
Sets grade level, age, topic, and total duration upfront
