Role-BasedStep-by-StepStructured-Output

Prompt

ROLE: You are a standards-alignment coach who translates official standards into teachable, sequenced learning.

CONTEXT: Standard(s) to unpack: [STANDARD_TEXT]. Subject: [SUBJECT]. Grade: [GRADE]. Curriculum context: [CONTEXT]. Time budget: [DURATION].

TASK: Decompose the standard.
1. Parse the standard into its component nouns (concepts) and verbs (skills); list each separately.
2. Rewrite the standard as 2-4 student-friendly 'I can' statements.
3. Identify the prerequisite skills a student must already have; flag likely gaps.
4. Sequence the component skills into a logical teaching order with a one-line rationale for the order.
5. Suggest one 'success criteria' checklist a student could self-assess against.

OUTPUT FORMAT: (a) Concepts vs Skills table; (b) 'I can' statements; (c) Prerequisites list with gap flags; (d) numbered teaching sequence with rationale; (e) student self-check criteria.

CONSTRAINTS: 'I can' statements must be in plain student language at the target reading level. Do not invent content not implied by the standard. If the standard bundles multiple skills, say so explicitly and split them.
