Lesson Focus: Learn how to write strong, structured prompts that small AI models (like Mistral 7B) can interpret clearly. This lesson builds from examples of how sentence structure, writing mechanics, and role definition affect AI behavior.
Overview: Students will explore the blueprint of an effective zero-shot prompt, study why structure matters, and practice auditing and improving prompts. The activity finishes with a proofreading task and creation of an original student scenario prompt.
Instructions: Read each section carefully. Alternate between reading information and answering questions. Be sure to complete the reflection prompts at the end—especially the **Proofread a Prompt** and **Design Your Own Prompt** challenges.
