How Hot (or Not) Is Your Question?

This worksheet teaches students to analyze the “temperature” of a prompt-not numeric heat levels, but clarity and focus. Students examine vague prompts and specific prompts on the same topic and predict differences in focus, usefulness, and clarity. They evaluate which prompt would yield better results and provide evidence for their reasoning. This activity helps students write stronger prompts by increasing specificity and reducing ambiguity.
