Mood Malfunction Answer Key

Students analyze text messages that an AI has misread, mislabeling emotions such as sarcasm, fatigue, or fear. For each example, learners compare the AI’s incorrect emotion reading to the actual human reality. They classify the AI’s interpretation as wrong, partly right, or needing human help, and then explain how a person could clarify the tone or emotional meaning to avoid misinterpretation. This worksheet strengthens understanding of emotional nuance, tone, and context. Students develop the ability to analyze text deeply and recognize the limits of AI in detecting feelings and social cues.
