Description

One page, fifteen minutes, nothing to prepare.

Someone uses an AI tool to write a rough draft and then rewrites it heavily. Someone else asks a chatbot for a math answer and copies it out. Are those the same thing?

Read the situation aloud, work down the four questions, and let your student write their own rule for where the line is. You are not looking for the right answer; you are looking for a reason — and then for what would have to be true for the opposite answer to be right.

This is the opening question of the full five-lesson AI Ethics & Critical Thinking unit.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

•One situation, stated in three sentences
•Four discussion questions in a deliberate order
•A five-minute write: your student's own rule for where the line falls
•A short note for the parent — nothing to prepare, and what to push on

Written by a licensed K-12 business teacher with more than thirteen years in the classroom. Built to be taught by a parent with no background in the subject.
