Prompts: clear and specific
ICT Prep 2 Term 1, Unit 2, Lesson 4: pp. 78–81
GoalTurn vague commands into clear, specific ones.
New words
prompt · the text you write to ask an AI helper for somethingvague · not clear or exact, so the helper has to guessspecific · giving exact details, such as what, for whom and in which styledetail · one small piece of information that makes a command clearer
Explanation
An AI helper answers what you write. A vague command makes it guess; a clear, specific command gets a better draft. Compare “a site for football” with “a site for my school football club that shows matches, photos and the schedule, in green and white, easy for beginners to read”. The second says what, for whom, what to show and how it should look. In this lesson we practise on paper: no AI tool is opened, and a teacher may show one later. To improve a command, ask four questions: what is it, who is it for, what must it show, and how should it look? Add details that answer them. Keep personal data out of every command.
Vague command
Clear, specific command
a site for football
a site for a school football club with matches, photos and a schedule, in green and white
make a nice page
make a simple home page for a garden club with a welcome sentence and three links
add pictures
add a gallery of six sample pictures that I will replace with my own
Worked examples
what is it?→who is it for?→what must it show?→how should it look?
Youssef writes “make a robot site”. His classmate asks: what is it, who is it for, what must it show, how should it look? Youssef rewrites it: “Make a simple website for a Robots Club (example) for students who want to join, with a welcome text, a list of activities and calm blue and grey colours.”
Mina’s vague command “write about my school” would make the helper guess and might lead it to invent facts or ask for private details. A clear one stays safe: “Write a short welcome text for an invented science club page. Do not include any real names or places.”
Class activity
Take five vague commands, for example “a site for animals”, “a nice colour page”, “add a menu”, “a school page”, “write something”. Rewrite each one with details that answer the four questions. Leave out real names and places. Swap with a classmate and ask them to improve one more detail.
Practice
1
Why does a vague command give a weaker result?
The helper has to guess what you want.
2
Name the four questions that improve a command.
What is it, who is it for, what must it show, how should it look?
3
Make this command clear: “a site for animals”.
For example: “a simple site for a class pet club, showing pet facts and sample pictures, in green and cream”.
4
What must never go into a command?
Personal data, such as names, addresses or phone numbers.
