Short vs. Long Prompt Effects

In this worksheet, students compare the effects of short and long prompts on the style and detail of AI responses. They read a short prompt and a long prompt about dolphins, review the AI’s two outputs, and then answer structured questions analyzing tone, structure, accuracy, and level of detail. This strengthens critical reading and analytical thinking by having students break down differences caused by prompt design. It also highlights how specific prompts can produce clearer, more academic responses appropriate for school assignments.
