Prompt Constraints

In this worksheet, students explore how purposeful constraints can improve writing, especially when crafting prompts for AI. They begin by defining what constraints are in their own words and listing real-life examples. A guided activity shows how a base prompt can be refined through added requirements such as content limits, tone, or perspective. Students then reflect on how each new constraint changes the nature of the response and encourages focus. This reinforces the idea that limitations can spark creativity and clarity rather than restrict it.
