How-To Guide: Create Financial Literacy Materials with Claude

Step 1: Define Your Audience and Goals

Before starting, write down:

Primary audience: Incoming freshmen? Transfer students? Students at risk of losing aid?
Reading level: College-level? 8th grade for first-generation students? ESL-friendly?
Format: Workshop script (oral delivery)? Handout (to be read)? Website FAQ? Email attachment?
