    Seven steps: build a prompt, test it, change one thing, and keep the evidence. Source: JMSC61252030 2025 – L2 – ChatGPT.pdf

    Step 1 · Choose your activity

    Pick one of the two tasks. Each one saves its own work.

    Each activity keeps its own prompt, saved answers and script — switching never deletes the other one.

    Brief · pp18–41 this is the task, not an AI answer

    Write a 30-second spoken weather bulletin for an on-screen presenter. Every fact must come from a source you have opened yourself and recorded below — this app ships no weather data and will never fill these fields in for you. Record the location, the units, the time the forecast was issued and the time you retrieved it, and map each claim in the script to one source.

    Step 2 · Build your prompt

    Fill in the boxes. The finished prompt appears at the bottom. Copy it.

    In simple words: A is made of six parts. Fill the two blue boxes first — and . The other four boxes are optional. A long prompt is not always a better prompt.
    Core boxes2 of 2 filled🎯 Task🗺️ Context📄 Examples🎭 Role📐 Format🎵 Tone

    What do you want the AI to make? Say it in one sentence.

    The single thing you are asking for. Start with a verb.

    Example: Write a 30-second weather script.

    What does the AI not know? Who watches it, and what facts are true.

    What the assistant cannot know: audience, situation, constraints, facts you supply.

    Example: For students at HKU. Today is rainy.

    Show the shape you want. One short example is enough.

    A sample of the shape you want. One good example beats a paragraph of description.

    Example: "Good morning. It is [temperature] today…"

    Who should the AI pretend to be?

    Who the assistant is answering as. Use it to set expertise, not to invent authority.

    Example: You are a TV news writer.

    How long? What shape? A script, a list, a paragraph?

    The container: length, structure, headings, script layout.

    Example: Spoken script, about 80 words.

    How should it sound? Choose simple words.

    How it should sound. Name it plainly — calm, dry, warm.

    Example: Calm and clear. Not excited.

    Your finished prompt · 2 of 6 boxes used

    This is exactly what you will send. Nothing is added secretly.

    Task: Write a 30-second spoken weather bulletin for an on-screen presenter.
    
    Context: Facts must come only from the sources I supply below. Do not invent temperatures, warnings or times. If a fact is missing, leave a clearly marked gap.

    Source: JMSC61252030 2025 – L2 – ChatGPT.pdf (pp5–14); simple vs comprehensive prompts (pp15–17); you are the director (p4).

    Step 3 · Paste the answer back

    Run the prompt in ChatGPT or Gemini. Paste what it gives you here.

    Step 4 · Change one thing and compare

    Change one box only. Guess what will happen. Then look at the new answer.

    In simple words: This tool does not write scripts for you. Copy your prompt → open ChatGPT or Gemini → paste the answer back here. Your first try is the . After you change one box, save a . Write the model name yourself; the app cannot check it.
    1. 1 · Copy the prompt
    2. 2 · Run it in the AI tool
    3. 3 · Paste the answer here

    Nothing saved yet.

    Save your first try, then change one box and save a second try.

    Step 5 · Turn the script into a shot

    Choose the best script. Highlight one part. It becomes a new shot.

    In simple words: Write or paste the script you like best. Then select one sentence with your mouse. That sentence becomes a new . Your other shots stay the same.

    Edit the script you approve. It is stored separately from the raw outputs above, so revising it never rewrites your evidence.

    What will be added

    Highlight a passage in the script above to enable this.

    Step 6 · Show your sourcesrequired here

    Write where your facts came from. The app never checks them for you.

    In simple words: Write where every fact came from: the name, the link, and the time. Also write your AI . The app never says a source is true — only you and your teacher can judge that.

    This activity is fact-based. This app holds no weather data and will never fill these in. Open a real source yourself, then map each claim in your script to one row. Rows are recorded as entered by you — the app does not verify them.

    Assessment notes

    Optional, written by a person — usually your teacher. The app gives no score and never decides what is true.

    Did the output do the task that was actually asked?

    For fact-based work: is every claim traceable to a source you listed?

    Could a crew shoot or record this as written?

    Can you explain why the second version is better, not just different?

    Step 7 · Download your record

    Save everything you did as one file to hand in.

    Learning record · draft

    Still missing: a baseline output, a revision output, an approved script, complete source rows. You can still download it. Unfinished work is marked “” — it is never blocked.

    Not signed in — this work is saved on this device only. Download the record to keep it.
