  • Student Worksheets
  • 25 AI Scenarios for Prompting Practice
  • AI Prompting Formula Infographic

The ultimate goal when working with AI is for it make our work easier and the tasks we do more efficient. This resource helps your students practice using AI as a productive tool, which helps them understand its limitations, and ultimately become more effective when writing prompts.

The content is driven by the the PowerPoint presentation. Pre-keyed and ready to use, it effortlessly sets up the lesson for you while keeping pace with the lesson plan.

The 34 slides will…

  • …take you through the introduction of the concept of AI prompting.
  • …help you to explore the benefits and drawbacks of using AI.
  • …help you addressing common misconceptions.
  • …introduce an AI prompting formula.
  • …let you demonstrate examples based on the formula.

This lesson uses a specialized prompting formula, (C.T.S.C.), which they’ll break down through guided examples, useful language, and practice. By the end, they’ll be narrowing their own prompts and writing their own.

The worksheets and scenario cards provide lots of opportunities for students to understand and practice with the formula. For independent practice, they write their own prompts for testing with an AI.

There’s even a productive follow-up activity, which gets students synthesizing what they learned and working collaboratively with AI. This activity is great because it doesn’t allow students to rely on the AI; they’ll have to work together.

ABOUT THE PACKAGE

This resource comes in a Zipped File, which can be opened using your preferred PDF reader. Inside, you’ll find two files: one PDF with the lesson plan and student worksheets together, and one PowerPoint Presentation. Microsoft PowerPoint is required for use.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The prompting method used in this lesson, C.T.S.C., was created for this lesson plan exclusively.
  • The PowerPoint presentation helps guide the instruction of the content. While some of the words on the slides can be edited, parts of this presentation use complex layering and animations, and changing them may result in the slides not functioning as intended. It is not recommended to change the slides.
  • While the lesson can be taught without access to AI, it is recommended that, at some stage of this lesson, the teacher demo the prompting method on a live AI model to connect concept to real-world applications. Appropriate times for this are indicated within the lesson plan.

What do I do if my resource doesn't print correctly?

All resources are designed to be printed as they are packaged, within the PDF file.

    • PRINTING ISSUES: Though all resources have been tested and trialed prior to distribution to ensure quality, computer and printer settings can cause some resources to print as intended.
      • When experiencing printer issues, please refer to the guide below for support:
        • TRY THIS FIRST: When you open the resource in your preferred PDF viewer (Adobe, etc.) and go to print the pages, select printer setup (settings).
        • Be sure that the paper size is set to letter or A4, and check the the ‘scaling’ of the pages is set to 100% or ‘scaled to fit’.
        • For more modern printers, the printing tab on the computer screen usually offers a ‘preview window’ that shows you exactly how the resource will be printed. If your printer has this feature and software, ensure that you look at it before printing.
        • Then, try the printing again.
        • A solution that has also worked in the past is selecting & printing from the PDF only the pages you want to print, instead of printing the whole PDF document.
        • Printing issues do surface from time to time depending on the software being used, so it’s always wise to ensure that your printer drivers are up-to-date.
What level are these resources?

ESL Lifeline’s resources and material are custom built for secondary middle and high school students. Usually, this means students between the ages of 11-18. 

On the CEFR, ESL Lifeline’s resources range between B1-C1 – Intermediate to Advanced. 

Many of the resource are suitable for adult learners as well. 

Though built for secondary students, he resources can be used across multiple grade levels and age ranges. Teachers know their students the best. It is recommended that, before you purchase a resource, you read the product description carefully and take note of the specific ages and ranges that it recommends. 

How much contact time does a typical resource give me?

Teachers from all over the world have used ESL Lifeline’s resources and materials with great success. A lot of the feedback received has to do with the breadth of content and how much there is in a single lesson. Some teachers have even said they can get 1-2 week out of a single reading comprehension lesson.

While the experience of each lesson will vary depending on the teacher, class demographic and other key variables, many lessons plans ESL Lifeline provides have been written to extend past a single class session. To get the most out of all the content in each lesson plan and all the materials, always consider the pacing of your particular class and how students are responding to the lesson in the moment. For language learning, it is often beneficial to revisit certain parts of a lesson to reinforce concepts and check comprehension. Extending skill lessons into even small, more manageable chunks is also a good strategy to ensure all learners in your class are able to access the content.

Many of the lessons and activities offer extension activities for productive follow-ups that take the subject and language even further. If you are looking to extend or, even, differentiate the learning, it is recommended to use these activities.

What file types will I get?

There are usually one or two file types available for download: PDF and Zip files.

    • PDF FILE TYPES: PDF files contain the entire resource, with all resource notes, lesson plans and materials included in one file. To download and open a PDF file, your computer will need a PDF reader. Double click the PDF file you wish to use and the download will start automatically.
      • Open your ‘Download’s folder on your computer and the resource will be there after the download is complete. The file name may contain extra wording after download, but the original name remains within the document.”
  • ZIP FILE TYPES: When a single resource contains multiple file types – for example several PDFs, PowerPoints, or images – they will be available in a ‘Zipped’ file. To download and open the zipped file, double click on it and the download will begin automatically.
    • Open your ‘Download’s folder on your computer and a folder with the resource will be there after the download is complete. At times, extra wording is added to the file name as it filters through your system. This does not, however, change the resource and its original name will be contained within the text as well.
    • Double click the folder to open the resource and you will see the contents. Oftentimes, ESL Lifeline’s zipped files contain separate PDF files for easier printing and organization of resources. For instance: when there is a student booklet available for a resource, this may be separated from the teachers notes and lesson plans. In this way, all you would have to do is open that PDF and print it as is to distribute to students.
    • ESL Lifeline has many professional PowerPoint presentations included in its catalog. While these files require Microsoft PowerPoint to access and use, they will always be contained within a zipped file. This ensures that you will receive both the PowerPoint and resource notes along with it. For more information on PowerPoint, please see the separate section below.
