Bot Red Flags

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 to build strong digital citizenship and critical reading skills by analyzing conversations between students and AI bots. Learners read short dialogue examples and decide whether each interaction is a “red flag” or a “green flag,” focusing on intent, safety, boundaries, and appropriateness. By explaining their reasoning in writing, students practice analyzing dialogue, recognizing risky behaviors, and understanding how to respond responsibly when technology crosses safe or ethical lines.
