How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When designing a lesson where student curiosity drives the learning rather than direct instruction.

PRO TIP

The provocation is the most important design element in inquiry learning β€” a mediocre provocation produces mediocre questions, and mediocre questions lead to mediocre investigations.
