Clear Communication

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 understand how unclear wording can lead to multiple interpretations in both human and AI communication. Students create an intentionally ambiguous prompt, analyze why it is confusing, predict different ways an AI might interpret it, and then revise the prompt for clarity and precision, strengthening analytical thinking, writing skills, and technology awareness.

Learning Goals

• Ambiguity vs. Precision (Grades 5-7) – Identify vague language and revise it into clear, specific instructions.
• Analytical Reasoning – Explain why a prompt is unclear and how wording affects interpretation.
• Predicting Outcomes – Anticipate multiple responses that could result from ambiguous language.
• Technology Literacy – Understand how AI systems respond differently based on prompt clarity.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to align with ELA writing and critical thinking standards.
• Hands-On Prompt Analysis – Encourages students to learn through creation, prediction, and revision.
• Real-World Relevance – Connects clarity in writing to everyday communication and AI use.
• Supports Metacognition – Helps students reflect on their own writing choices and intent.
• Flexible Use – Suitable for independent practice, group discussion, writing workshops, or homeschool instruction.

This printable worksheet helps students recognize that strong communication depends on clarity, specificity, and intentional wording. By exploring how ambiguous prompts lead to varied interpretations, learners strengthen precision in writing, critical thinking, and awareness of how AI interprets language. Ideal for classroom and homeschool use, this activity reinforces thoughtful communication and responsible interaction with both human readers and AI systems.
