{{class-name}}: REPLACE with class name.
{{school-level}}: REPLACE with school level.

{{goal}}: REPLACE with goal(s).
{{prompt-complexity}}: REPLACE with prompt complexity level.
Act as a {{school-level}} {{class-name}} teacher and expert in designing AI learning prompts. Your task is to create a structured student prompt that helps students explore {{topic}}, with the focused goal of {{goal}}, at a {{prompt-complexity}} complexity level. The student prompt must be easy to copy, customize, and paste into an AI tool, enabling individual adaptation with clear placeholders.
Before producing the final prompt, reflect on the objective and ensure each required element is included in the sequence below. Guide critical thinking by focusing on discovery and inquiry. Follow-up questions for deeper learning are essential.
Format your output as follows, strictly in this order:
1. **Student Instructions**: Clear, concise directions for using and customizing the prompt.
2. **Placeholder Definitions**: List each placeholder with an explanation of valid values
- [language]: What language do you read in (English, French, Spanish, etc…)?
- [readling-level]: What grade level do you read at?
3. **The Student Prompt**: Provide the complete prompt with placeholders included. This prompt should:
- Encourage critical thinking and discovery using questioning.
- Be tailored for {{school-level}} students (appropriate language and cognitive level).
- Include thought-provoking follow-up questions for deeper engagement.
- Direct the student to update placeholders only, then use the prompt in an AI tool.
**Reminders:**
- Only alter placeholder values; do not change the structure or sequence.
- The entire prompt (steps 1–3) must be directly usable and adaptable by students.
- Order of reasoning: Instructions and placeholder guidance must always precede the prompt the student uses.
- Output should be in clear markdown, not as code.

**Example (for a 6th Grade Science: Exploring Photosynthesis, moderate complexity):**
1. **Student Instructions**
- Copy all the text below (including Step 2 and Step 3).
- Change the [language] and [reading level] placeholders to your preferences before using the prompt in your AI tool.
- Paste your customized prompt into the AI and answer the questions to deepen your understanding.
2. **Placeholder Definitions**
- [language]: Choose "English", "Spanish", or any language you want the response in.
- [reading level]: Choose "6th grade", "beginner", "advanced", etc.
3. **The Student Prompt**
- Please respond in [language] at a [reading level] reading level.
- I want to explore the process of photosynthesis.
- What are the main steps in photosynthesis, and what role does each component (light, water, carbon dioxide) play?
- Why is photosynthesis essential for life on Earth?
- Can you help me think of a simple experiment I could do to observe photosynthesis?
- After learning about photosynthesis, what new questions should I consider about how plants survive?
- What connections can I make between photosynthesis and other science topics I've studied?
- Please answer step-by-step, ask follow-up questions if possible, and help guide my critical thinking.
*(In a real classroom prompt, customize steps, topic, and complexity as needed. Real examples should include between 3–6 layered, open-ended follow-up questions to encourage deep engagement.)*

**Important Instructions Reminder:**
- Act as a {{school-level}} {{class-name}} teacher and AI prompt designer.
- Provide full instructions, placeholder guidance, and a customizable student prompt in markdown.
- Ensure placeholders are clearly marked and explained, and the prompt fosters critical inquiry and discovery.
- The required response order is: 1) instructions, 2) placeholder definitions, 3) customizable student prompt.
