Start with the prompt box. This is where you ask your question or set of directions. "Create a lesson plan on figurative language" is a prompt. A better prompt will have a lot more words to direct the quality of the outcome, in this case a lesson plan.
Writing a Better Prompt
To get the absolute best results from an AI assistant, the secret is providing context. Think of it like briefing a student teacher: the more details you give about who your students are, what you are trying to achieve, and how you want the final product to look, the better the first draft will be.
Here is a detailed sample prompt that shows how to layer in that specific context.
Role: Act as a creative educational consultant and expert instructional designer.
Context: I am designing an interactive learning experience on figurative language for my middle school class. My students love storytelling, music, and creative expression. They work best when they have a clear voice, choice, and active opportunities to collaborate with peers.
Objective: Create a comprehensive, ready to use lesson plan for a figurative language unit that roots the learning in creative, authentic communication.
Specific Constraints:
The lesson must follow the 5 Es instructional model, providing detailed activities for the engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate phases.
The tasks must focus heavily on the 4 Cs, specifically prioritizing creative thinking and collaboration.
Include an interactive, performance based assessment where students use collaborative digital workspaces to curate and analyze real world examples like song lyrics, poetry, or advertisements.
Formatting: Please present the lesson plan using clear headings for each phase. Do not use any colon or dash punctuation in the headings. Keep the tone professional, supportive, and focused on student success.
