Teacher Instructions
- Discuss the ethical and practical considerations of using AI writing tools.
- Students share a section of their writing with an AI tool and ask it for feedback or suggestions.
- Students critically evaluate the AI's response: What is useful? What should be ignored? What is the AI getting wrong?
- Students decide which (if any) suggestions to incorporate, always maintaining their own voice.
- Students reflect on the experience: How is AI feedback different from human feedback?
Teaching Tips
- Set clear boundaries about what is acceptable use of AI in your classroom.
- This is a critical literacy activity – students learn to evaluate AI output, not just accept it.
- Compare AI feedback with peer feedback to highlight the differences.
Student Handout
Use an AI writing tool as a sounding board. Share your writing, get suggestions, and critically evaluate what it tells you.
