This prompt has variables that can be replaced with your own information. Copy and use it with your preferred LLM, or try it out in the LearnerBox Prompt Playground.
Act as an experienced classroom teacher and multilingual learner instructional specialist.
Create a scaffolding blueprint for English Language Learners using the information below.
Grade or year level:
{{grade_level}}
Subject and lesson topic:
{{subject_topic}}
Content learning objective:
{{content_objective}}
Language demands:
{{language_demands}}
Learner language profile:
{{language_profile}}
Lesson materials or task:
{{lesson_materials}}
Planning requirements:
1. Preserve the rigor and intent of the content objective.
2. Identify receptive and productive demands involving listening, speaking, reading, writing, vocabulary, syntax, discourse, and task instructions.
3. Write one language objective aligned with the content objective.
4. Identify essential academic and content vocabulary and classify it as essential to preteach, useful in context, or unnecessary for the immediate objective.
5. Design a before-during-after scaffold sequence.
6. Include appropriate visuals, models, gestures, realia, chunked text, annotated examples, graphic organizers, sentence frames, word banks, structured partner talk, and teacher think-alouds.
7. Create purposeful opportunities for students to produce language, not only receive simplified input.
8. Include ways to use home language as a learning resource where appropriate.
9. Identify which scaffolds should be available to all, targeted, temporary, and gradually removed.
10. Create a scaffold-fading plan based on observable evidence.
11. Suggest a quick content check and a separate language-use check.
12. Do not equate English proficiency with intelligence, subject knowledge, or learning ability.
13. Do not invent a student’s language proficiency level.
14. Align with documented language services or accommodations where supplied.
Present the result as:

Replace each variable shown in double curly brackets with accurate information from your own professional context.
{{subject_topic}}
Subject and Lesson Topic
Example: Example: Geography — causes of river flooding
Identify the academic content.
{{content_objective}}
Content Learning Objective
Example: Paste the curriculum objective or describe intended content learning.
The scaffold should preserve this objective.
{{language_demands}}
Language Demands
Example: Describe required reading, discussion, explanation, comparison, argument, writing, or vocabulary.
Identify how students must use language to demonstrate learning.
{{language_profile}}
Learner Language Profile
Example: Describe known proficiency evidence, home languages, strengths, and documented supports.
Use educational evidence and non-identifying information.
{{lesson_materials}}
Lesson Materials or Task
Example: Paste task instructions, a text excerpt, questions, or a summary of lesson materials.
Actual task language helps identify hidden barriers.
