1.3 How to Ask a Clear Question
Tips for getting the best answers from CurricuLLM.
CurricuLLM works best when your request is clear and specific. The more detail you give, the better the answer will be. Think of it like asking a teacher friend for help. If you just say "Maths," they won't know what you need. But if you say "I need a Year 6 fractions quiz with outcomes included," they can help straight away.
This AI for schools is designed to understand educational contexts, but being specific helps it give you exactly what you need.
Be Clear About Three Things
- The subject (e.g. Maths, English, Science)
- The year or level (e.g. Year 4, upper primary, secondary)
- The type of help you want (e.g. lesson ideas, practice tasks, assessment checks, content explanations)
Examples: Vague vs Clear
- Vague: "Tell me about fractions."
- Clear: "Make three short practice problems on fractions for Year 5 Maths and show me the outcome codes."
- Vague: "What are the outcomes for writing?"
- Clear: "Give me two persuasive writing lesson ideas for secondary English and match them to the outcomes."
- Vague: "Science content?"
- Clear: "Show me a Year 8 Science experiment idea for forces, with content descriptions and outcomes listed."
Why This Helps
- Teachers get ready-to-use, curriculum-linked activities.
- Students get clear explanations and tasks matched to their level.
- Everyone saves time, because there's no need to go back and forth asking for more detail.
Tip: Pretend you're asking another teacher for help. Use that same clear style with CurricuLLM, plain, specific, and focused on what you need.
