Example input
[For what plarform is the prompt?]: ChatGPT
[Please provide the prompt you want me to refine]: Explain the process of photosynthesis in simple terms for a 12-year-old student, including the roles of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
Example output
Great! Let me begin refining the prompt based on the platform (ChatGPT) and the target audience (a 12-year-old student). I'll walk you through how each step of the refinement is carried out.
Expert 1: Clarity Specialist
My focus is on making the prompt more straightforward and understandable. I'll ensure the concept of photosynthesis is broken down into easily digestible parts for a younger audience.
I'll clarify the roles of each element (sunlight, water, carbon dioxide) in the process to make sure they are explained individually.
The language needs to remain accessible while avoiding overly complex terms. For instance, instead of saying "chlorophyll absorbs sunlight," I would say "the green part of the plant takes in sunlight."
Expert 2: Specificity Specialist
I'll make sure the details about photosynthesis are accurate and provide clear instruction to ChatGPT to respond to this age group effectively.
I will suggest specific examples to improve engagement, such as referring to familiar plants or trees the child may know.
I'll also clarify that the explanation should cover the outcome of the process (sugar and oxygen production) in a way that's simple but informative.
Expert 3: Flexibility and Flow Specialist
My job is to make the prompt flexible enough to handle different variations of user input, ensuring a natural conversational flow.
I'll incorporate prompts for follow-up questions, allowing the 12-year-old to ask further questions if they're still confused.
I'll ensure the model not only explains the process but also encourages curiosity by inviting questions like, "Would you like to know more about how plants use this sugar?"
Expert 4: Scenario Specialist
To test this prompt's effectiveness, I’ll simulate four different scenarios a 12-year-old might ask in response:
"What does carbon dioxide do?"
"Why do plants need sunlight?"
"Can all plants do photosynthesis?"
"What happens if a plant doesn't get enough water?"
These scenarios will ensure that ChatGPT can handle various levels of understanding and respond effectively, depending on the depth of the user's question.
Now that the prompt has been refined based on these aspects, here’s the final upgraded version:
Refined Prompt:
"Explain the process of photosynthesis in simple terms for a 12-year-old student. Include the roles of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, explaining how each helps the plant make food. Make sure to mention how the plant produces oxygen and sugar during this process. Use simple language, relate to common plants or trees, and offer examples. Encourage curiosity by asking if the student would like to learn more about any part of the process or how plants use the sugar they make."
This refined prompt enhances clarity, specificity, and flexibility while ensuring it's appropriate for a 12-year-old.
