Prompt frameworks
Prompt frameworks give a repeatable skeleton — role, context, task, format, constraints — so nothing important is forgotten.

Structured Prompt Systems
A prompt you can repeat, test and improve stops being a message and becomes a tool.

The big idea
Students build multi-step prompt systems where one output feeds the next, and write rubrics that let them judge output quality consistently instead of by gut feeling.
Why it matters
Systematic prompting produces reliable results. Reliability is what allows a technique to be trusted for schoolwork.
Unpacked
What you will actually learn
Three core ideas, each taught with worked examples and then practised until it feels obvious.
Multi-step prompts
Multi-step prompts break big jobs into stages: outline, then draft, then critique, then revise. Each stage is checkable.
Evaluation rubrics
Evaluation rubrics define what “good” means before you look at the output, which prevents talking yourself into accepting mediocre work.
Did you know?
Asking a model to critique its own draft against a rubric before revising measurably improves the final result — the same as it does for human writers.
Common mix-up
“One perfect prompt solves it.” Complex tasks reliably do better as several small, verified steps.

- 2
Prompt frameworks
Guided teaching on prompt frameworks, worked through together with the teacher.
- 3
Prompt frameworks — practice lab
Independent practice, small challenges and one deliberate mistake to diagnose.
- 4
Multi-step prompts
Guided teaching on multi-step prompts, building directly on the previous two sessions.
- 5
Multi-step prompts — practice lab
Applied tasks that combine prompt frameworks and multi-step prompts in one piece of work.
- 6
Evaluation rubrics
Evaluation rubrics introduced and practised, completing the toolkit needed for the project.
- 7
Project build
Guided build session for the module project: Prompt playbook for three school subjects.
- 8
Test, present and reflect
Finish, test against the checklist, present the work and explain the decisions behind it.
Project lab
Prompt playbook for three school subjects
Every module ends with something the student built themselves and can demonstrate. This is the piece that goes into their portfolio and gets explained out loud at the end of session 16.
Try this at home
Build a three-stage system — outline, draft, critique — for essays, then compare its output against a single-prompt attempt.
It is finished when
- It works from start to finish without breaking
- You can explain every part of it in your own words
- You tested it and improved at least one thing afterwards
- Someone else used or understood it without your help
