Review the following prompt: I am a high school reading specialist. Provide ways that I can motivate and engage struggling readers in my classroom. As an example: [specify a high-interest text]. What type of prompting is used in this example?

One-shot prompting uses a single example to guide the AI tool’s response. The example shows the type of output expected without giving multiple demonstrations. This helps the model infer the desired direction while still generating new suggestions. The role statement adds context, but the single example is what determines the prompting type.
