Sure But Is It

This worksheet supports students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 as they build reading comprehension, critical analysis, and metacognitive reasoning by examining an AI-generated passage about bees. Students evaluate how confident the AI sounds, rate their own confidence in each statement’s accuracy, and reflect on why believable language does not always equal factual correctness, strengthening credibility assessment and evidence-based thinking.

Instructional Objectives

• Reading Analysis (Grades 4-6) – Students closely read informational statements and analyze meaning, tone, and implied certainty.
• Credibility Evaluation – Learners assess the likelihood that information is accurate, even when it sounds authoritative.
• Metacognitive Reflection – Students compare AI confidence with their own confidence levels to understand how judgment is formed.
• Technology Literacy – The activity introduces how AI-generated content can appear reliable while containing inaccuracies.

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed by educators to make complex AI concepts accessible and age-appropriate.
• Confidence Rating Scale – Encourages thoughtful reflection rather than simple right-or-wrong answers.
• Flexible Use – Suitable for independent work, small groups, discussion-based lessons, or technology units.
• Supports Reasoned Explanation – Students practice explaining doubts and conclusions using logic and evidence.

This printable worksheet helps students become more reflective and skeptical readers by separating confidence of tone from factual truth. By evaluating AI-generated content and their own reasoning processes, learners strengthen comprehension, critical thinking, verification skills, and self-assessment strategies. It is a valuable no-prep resource for both classroom and homeschool settings focused on media literacy, reasoning, and responsible technology use.
