Learning to effectively prompt and iterate with generative AI is essential for optimizing its potential results, and will help you to avoid AI hallucinations, as well as mitigate assumptions and bias. Well-crafted prompting and iteration ensures clarity, relevance, and precision, enabling AI to generate outputs that align closely with the user's intent.
Below is an example of one guide to effective prompt writing you may want to use (there are many out there).

Think of your interation with generative AI as a conversation: start with a solid prompt, then refine step by step. Each round of feedback helps the AI get closer to what you need, making the final result more accurate and useful.
This is a beginner activity students can do in the classroom that helps them to build specific prompts in an attempt to recreate a image that is selected at random.
It gives the student feedback so they can refine their prompt with key descriptors which will help to make better and better prompts.
