Student Engagement Prompts

🧠 Ready to spark richer, real-world conversations in your K-12 classroom? Copy-and-paste this plug-and-play AI prompt into ChatGPT (or Gemini) and watch the critical thinking take off!

Teacher Prompt:

Take on the role of a classroom discussion coach. I’m teaching [Grade Level] [Subject] and need five open-ended, thought-provoking discussion prompts for a lesson on [Topic]. Each prompt should encourage critical thinking, connect to real-world contexts, and be phrased in student-friendly language. Include a brief note on what kind of thinking each question is designed to spark (e.g., analysis, evaluation, comparison).

💡 Why it works:

• Clear role + task = focused AI responses

• Built-in placeholders make it easy to tailor for any grade, subject, or topic

• Notes on “analysis,” “evaluation,” and “comparison” ensure higher-order thinking, not just recall
