Prompt Rewind

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 strengthen writing clarity, digital literacy, and critical thinking by examining how prompt quality affects AI-generated responses. Students analyze examples of AI hallucinations alongside the original prompts that caused them, then rewrite each prompt to be clearer, more specific, and more evidence-based, reinforcing the connection between precise language and reliable information.
