Prompt Sorting Machine

This worksheet turns students into “Output Classifiers,” analyzing prompts to determine what type of writing the AI would most likely produce. Students match each prompt to an output genre-essay, poem, story, email, dialogue, report, instructions, etc.-using reasoning and clues from wording. They identify which phrases signal narrative, informational, persuasive, or instructional writing. This activity deepens understanding of genre features and helps students recognize how prompt structure drives the format of AI responses.
