Newbie Prompts

• "Explain the difference between 'prompts' and 'projects' using the analogy of laying single bricks versus building a complete wall."

• "What is a 'learning artifact'? Give me two simple examples from the text."

  
  

  Beginner Prompts

  
  

• "Describe the 'portfolio mindset'. Why is it more powerful to show a portfolio than to just say 'I studied'? "

• "Walk me through the workflow of turning five bullet points on 'respiration' into a 5-slide presentation, explaining the human-first step and the AI-refinement step."

  
  

  Intermediate Prompts

  
  

• "Analyze the rule: 'AI is your editor, not your co-author'. Explain the danger of breaking this rule in terms of academic integrity and personal skill development."

• "Act as a project manager. I need to create a one-page summary of a textbook chapter. Guide me on how to use AI strategically to refine the layout and grammar after I have done the hard work of writing the summary myself."

  
  

  Master Prompts

  
  

• "Design a 'Portfolio Project Template' for a single subject topic. The template should require the student to produce three different artifacts (e.g., a text summary, a visual diagram, and a set of quiz questions) to demonstrate comprehensive understanding."

• "Create a 'Monthly Portfolio Review' process. Write a prompt that instructs an AI to act as a performance coach, look at a list of my month's artifacts (titles and descriptions), and ask me reflective questions about my growth in structure, clarity, and visual evidence."
