All-encompassing prompt example:
“As an experienced high school English teacher specializing in creative writing, your task is to develop a comprehensive, engaging lesson plan for a 10th-grade class on the art of storytelling. The students have a basic understanding of narrative elements but struggle with creating compelling characters and maintaining narrative tension.
Your objective is to create a week-long unit that will improve students' storytelling skills, focusing on character development and plot structure. The unit should culminate in students writing their own short stories.
Please structure your lesson plan as follows:
- Outline five 50-minute lessons, one for each day of the week
- For each lesson, provide: a) A clear learning objective b) A warm-up activity (5-10 minutes) c) Main instructional content (25-30 minutes) d) A student practice activity (10-15 minutes) e) A wrap-up or reflection (5 minutes)
- Include a list of required materials for each lesson
- Suggest one homework assignment for each day, building towards the final short story
Ensure that the lessons incorporate a variety of teaching methods, including direct instruction, group discussions, peer reviews, and individual writing time. Include at least one multimedia element, such as a video clip or audio recording, to illustrate effective storytelling techniques.
The final lesson should guide students in starting their short stories, which should be 1000-1500 words long. Provide a clear rubric for assessing these stories, focusing on character development, plot structure, narrative tension, and creative use of language.
While the lessons should follow a logical progression, allow for flexibility to adapt to student needs and interests. Include suggestions for differentiation to support struggling writers and challenge advanced students.
Please present your lesson plan in a clear, easy-to-follow format using markdown, with headers for each day and subheaders for lesson components. Include a brief introduction explaining the overall goals of the unit and a conclusion summarizing expected outcomes.
If you encounter any areas where clarification might be needed, please note these and suggest how a teacher might address potential challenges or misconceptions.
Your response should be comprehensive yet concise, aiming for about 1500 words total. Remember to balance creativity with practical, actionable instructional strategies.”
This all-encompassing prompt incorporates all 12 components from the rubric, creating a detailed and well-structured request for a K-12 educational resource.
