Why Context Matters

This worksheet teaches students the meaning of “context” and why it is essential when giving instructions to an AI. Students compare two prompts-one vague and one detailed-and evaluate which produces a clearer, more helpful answer. They answer comprehension questions about why certain prompts work better and identify elements such as audience, purpose, and topic. In the final task, students write their own “Before and After” prompts to practice adding context. The activity strengthens writing clarity, prompt creation skills, and analytical thinking about how information affects outcomes.
