Prompt Building Blocks

Great prompts have building blocks. Mix and match them to get exactly what you need!

Block 1 - TASK: What do you want? (Write, explain, list, compare, create...)

Block 2 - CONTEXT: Who is it for? What's the situation? (For a 10-year-old, for a school project, for fun...)

Block 3 - FORMAT: How should the answer look? (A list, a story, 3 paragraphs, a table, bullet points...)

Task + Context + Format:'EXPLAIN how volcanoes erupt FOR a Year 5 student AS a short story'

Task + Format:'LIST 10 ways to reduce plastic use IN bullet points'

All blocks:'CREATE a quiz about the Romans FOR 8-year-olds WITH 5 multiple choice questions'
