About Prompts

Writing clear and precise prompts is crucial when using AI tools, as it directly influences the quality and relevance of the responses. Effective prompt writing ensures that the AI understands your needs and delivers accurate and helpful results.

What is a Prompt?

An AI prompt is a question or instruction you give to an AI tool to get a specific response. It’s like giving the AI directions so it knows what to do or answer.

Writing good prompts is important because it helps AI tools understand what you need. Clear prompts make sure you get accurate and useful answers.

How to Use Prompts Effectively

When writing prompts, keep them clear and specific. Use simple language and be direct about what you need. Avoid being vague, and if possible, give context to help the AI understand better.

Instead of “create a lesson plan about the Red River Rebellion” try:

  • “Please act as a K-12 high school teacher teaching a class of grade 10 students about Canada’s Red River Rebellion and Louis Riel. 
  • Explain the context that led to the rebellion and the different historical accounting of Riel and his role in it.  Please create a lesson plan emphasizing critical analysis of bias in history books.
  • I want my students to create a deeper understanding of bias and how to identify it in this class, their future studies, and in the workplace.”
