Trimming Wordy Prompts

In this worksheet, students practice simplifying long-winded or overly detailed prompts into concise, focused versions. Each example presents a verbose question, and students must rewrite it in 20 words or fewer while preserving clarity and essential meaning. This activity builds editing, summarizing, and precision-writing skills by challenging learners to eliminate unnecessary words. It helps students understand how brevity strengthens communication and improves readability. Through guided rewriting, learners develop the ability to express complex ideas efficiently-a key skill in both academic writing and AI prompt design.
