AI Readiness Starter – Safe First Steps for New Learners

Lesson 3: Check Before You Use It

Lesson Objectives

By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:

  • Review output for accuracy, missing context, and tone.
  • Ask one clarification prompt.
  • Decide whether to use, revise, or discard the answer.

Lesson Content

AI output is a draft until a person checks it. Before using it, ask:

  • Is anything invented?
  • Is anything missing?
  • Is the tone right for the reader?
  • Are important claims verified?
  • Does a person need to approve it?

A clarification prompt is a follow-up instruction that fixes or improves the first answer. For example: "Make this clearer for a beginner, remove any claim that was not in my prompt, and show the final version in three short paragraphs."
