Sometimes CurricuLLM will ask for more detail before it can give a useful answer.

Why this happens

• Some questions are too broad → e.g. “Teach me science.”
• Others are unclear → e.g. “What’s the answer?” without context.
• Curriculum links may be ambiguous → CurricuLLM needs to know the subject, year, or level to align properly.

How to respond

• Add subject or level → “Explain photosynthesis for Year 8 science.”
• Specify the task → “Give me practice questions on fractions” instead of “Help with maths.”
• Include curriculum detail if needed → “Link this writing task to Year 9 persuasive writing outcomes.”

For teachers

• Model how to respond when CurricuLLM asks for clarification.
• Remind students that it’s not an error, the system is making sure answers stay on track with the curriculum.

For students

• Don’t give up if CurricuLLM asks for more information.
• Try rephrasing with more detail or asking a smaller, clearer question.

Summary

When CurricuLLM asks for clarification, it’s a sign that it is working carefully to keep learning safe, specific, and curriculum-aligned. A little extra detail from the user ensures the response will be accurate and useful.
