Expanding Short Prompts

This worksheet teaches students how to transform short prompts into detailed, long prompts that give the AI clearer expectations. Students receive six short prompts on topics such as dragons, space, and friendship, and must rewrite each into an expanded version with tone, structure, and specific instructions. By doing so, they practice developing clarity, descriptive detail, and purposeful direction in their writing. This activity builds an understanding of how additional context influences AI response quality and helps students practice organization and precision. It also strengthens creative writing skills by requiring them to imagine what details would produce a more focused output.
