Short vs. Long Context Answer Key

This worksheet teaches students how adding more context can change predictions-just like LLMs shift their output when reading longer passages. Each item begins with a short prompt that students use to predict a next action or event. Then they read a longer version of the same prompt and revise their prediction. This activity reinforces how additional details narrow possibilities, strengthen accuracy, and help readers (and AIs) make more informed decisions about what comes next.
