Tiny Word Differences

This worksheet helps students analyze how small wording changes in prompts produce different AI responses. By comparing two nearly identical prompts about gardening, students examine how shifts in tone, detail, and audience expectations affect the final output. They respond to guided questions that explore differences in usefulness, clarity, and general-purpose versus beginner-friendly responses. This exercise teaches precision in language and how subtle variations can meaningfully change the direction of an AI-generated answer.
