SceneCraft Story Prompt Instructions for Educators

These instructions will guide you in crafting clear and thoughtful prompts for SceneCraft. This way, you can collaborate with the AI to create engaging, story-based virtual experiences that align perfectly with your teaching goals.

Step-by-Step Prompt Framework for Story-Building.

When you provide clear prompts, you set the stage for engaging, student-centered stories. While the AI takes care of the writing, it’s your prompt that truly influences the direction of the story. Consider your prompt as a blueprint for crafting a fantastic tale!

To help you get started, consider using the following prompt design framework:

“Create a story that emphasizes [Learning Objective/ Curriculum Standard] for [Grade Level] students that explores [Topic/ Concept] through the eyes of a [Character Role] protagonist who wants to [Motivation/ Challenge].

Start with Purpose

This prompt framework is designed to help you align your story with your instructional goals from the very beginning. By clearly defining the learning objective, grade level, topic, character, and motivation, you’ll give the AI a strong foundation to generate a meaningful, classroom-ready narrative.

Align with Learning Objectives

Grounding your prompt in a clear learning objective ensures the story serves a meaningful instructional purpose. Whether you’re focusing on a single subject or blending across disciplines, using familiar curriculum language helps the narrative connect directly to your teaching goals.

Define the Audience

Selecting the appropriate grade level helps SceneCraft generate stories with the right voice, tone, and complexity. Tailoring your prompt to your students ensures the narrative is engaging, accessible, and age-appropriate.

Select the Core Concept

The core concept defines what your story is really about. Choosing a clear, focused idea—like ecosystems or bias in algorithms—helps the narrative reinforce key understandings through meaningful storytelling.

Create the Protagonist

Choosing a protagonist gives your story a relatable, human perspective. Selecting a role tied to the concept—like a scientist or historian—helps students connect to the narrative and see themselves as active participants in the learning.Choosing a protagonist gives your story a relatable, human perspective.

Add a Motivation or Challenge

A strong motivation or challenge gives your story momentum and purpose. By defining what the protagonist wants—and what obstacles they face—you create narrative tension that keeps students engaged while deepening their understanding of the core concept.
