Workbook page: Student Workbook -> Lesson 2 - Prompt Practice and Vocabulary Log
4.1 Start Here
In Lesson 1 you wrote your first safe English AI prompt and checked privacy settings. Today you will make visual prompts stronger. You will try small changes, compare poster and image results, and build your vocabulary log.
You can use an AI tool, a partner, or teacher-provided sample outputs. You do not need AI access to complete the workbook evidence.
4.2 Why This Matters
A small change in your English can make a big change in a poster or image result. When you add context, limits, and a clear format, the result is easier to read and check. This lesson helps you practice prompt writing as an English skill.
TipWrite in the Book
Some exercises in the website version are interactive. You can type your answers directly on the page, and you can copy or download a backup if your teacher asks.
The main task is to write in the book, not to create separate files.
4.3 Warm-up Activity: Small Change, Big Meaning
4.4 Today You Will
By the end of this lesson, you will:
- Review the ZONI CLEAR prompt scaffold.
- Choose one safe visual problem.
- Write one CLEAR prompt for a poster or image.
- Add useful words to your vocabulary log.
- Complete the matching Student Workbook page.
NoteLesson Reference
Theme: Clear prompt changes improve AI answers and English practice.
AI Focus: CLEAR prompts for visual tasks and image result checks.
ESL Focus: Request language, imperatives, vocabulary logging, and reason-giving.
Content Objective: Students will write one CLEAR visual prompt and check one image result.
Language Objective: Students will explain prompt choices using simple English:
Prompt ___ was clearer because...
I added context about...

A visual prompt asks AI to create or describe an image, poster, flyer, or social media picture. A strong visual prompt gives the topic, audience, message, safety limits, and format.
Checking the image helps you ask:
Does the image match my prompt?
Is the message clear?
Is the image safe?
Is the text easy to read?4.6 Key Vocabulary
