Grade 11 – Philosophy and Perspective

This worksheet is designed for Grade 11 students to engage in philosophical inquiry, comparative analysis, and critical reflection through guided dialogue with ChatGPT. Students choose a “big question”-such as those about morality, happiness, truth, or justice-and ask ChatGPT to summarize major philosophical viewpoints. Learners then organize these perspectives by belief system or school of thought and analyze how each addresses the question, fostering empathy and intellectual openness.
