Grade 6 · Technology · Lesson 12

Prompting strategies and iterations

A prompt is the message you type to an AI assistant. A vague prompt gets a vague reply, a specific prompt gets a focused reply, and a refined prompt — sharpened in two or three rounds — gets a reply you can actually use. Smart prompting is a skill: you plan your prompt, read the reply, and iterate until the answer matches what you need.

2Build a CRAFT prompt with context, role, action, format, and tone
3Rewrite a vague prompt into a focused one with clear constraints
