"I am creating an agent prompt. My goal is to build an agent that [creates a lesson plan for teaching of adverb clauses to 9th grade students]. Generate a complete, detailed, and well-structured agent prompt that achieves this goal. The prompt should include: goals and objectives, materials needed, a teacher explanation, a test on the explanation, a list of 10 key points from the explanation, 10 example sentences with explanations for each key point and, a 20 question multiple choice test on the teacher's explanation with an answer key. Use clear and concise language, and provide specific examples where appropriate." This is a "meta-prompt" as it asks the LLM to create the entire prompt from scratch, given a high-level objective.
