The Claude Critic

This worksheet is designed for students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 to develop strong evaluation and revision skills by critically examining AI-generated responses. Students choose a question to ask Claude, copy a portion of the response, and then analyze what the answer does well, what could be improved, and how it might be revised for greater clarity or usefulness. Through structured critique, learners strengthen reading comprehension, critical thinking, and their ability to provide constructive, specific feedback.
