When AI Gets It Wrong

This worksheet helps students in Grades 5, 6, and 7 strengthen reading comprehension, critical thinking, and digital literacy skills by closely examining AI-generated responses that may be flawed, misleading, or logically unsound. Learners underline problematic portions of each response and explain what went wrong-or, in some cases, why the answer is acceptable-encouraging careful evaluation rather than blind trust in automated output.

Learning Goals

• Error & Fallacy Identification (Grades 5-7) – Detecting mistakes, weak logic, and misleading reasoning in AI responses
• Technology Literacy – Evaluating the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated information
• Critical Thinking – Distinguishing between strong reasoning and flawed explanations
• Digital Citizenship – Applying human judgment when interacting with AI tools

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed to support safe, thoughtful AI use in academic settings
• Text Evidence Focus – Students underline specific language that causes confusion or error
• Balanced Evaluation – Encourages recognition of both incorrect and acceptable AI responses
• Flexible Classroom Use – Works well for ELA lessons, digital literacy units, or discussion starters
• Low-Prep Format – Ready to print and use in classrooms or homeschool environments

This printable worksheet helps students develop skepticism, close reading habits, and sound reasoning skills when working with AI-generated text. By identifying exactly where and why AI responses fail-or succeed-learners build confidence in evaluating information quality and applying human logic to digital content. It is a practical resource for classroom and homeschool instruction focused on accuracy, reasoning, and responsible use of AI tools.
