Context Change Predictions

This worksheet helps students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 build contextual reasoning, flexible thinking, and writing skills by exploring how sentence predictions change with added context. Learners first predict what comes next in a sentence without any setting, then make a new prediction after a context shift such as “in a video game” or “in a fairy tale,” mirroring how large language models refine meaning based on surrounding information.

Learning Goals

• Contextual Reasoning (Grades 4-6) – Understanding how setting and situation influence meaning
• Sentence Prediction Skills – Anticipating logical continuations of text
• Semantic Flexibility – Adjusting interpretations when new information is introduced
• Writing & Language Interpretation – Exploring how word choice changes with context

Instructional Benefits

• Teacher-Created Resource – Designed to align with upper-elementary ELA standards
• Before-and-After Comparison – Makes the impact of context visible and concrete
• AI Literacy Connection – Demonstrates how LLMs use context to shape predictions
• Creative & Analytical Balance – Encourages both imagination and reasoning
• Low-Prep Format – Ready to print and use in classrooms or homeschool settings

This printable worksheet helps students see how meaning is not fixed but shaped by context. By predicting sentence continuations under different settings, learners strengthen language flexibility, comprehension, and insight into how AI systems interpret text. It is a practical resource for classroom and homeschool instruction focused on contextual understanding, sentence-level reasoning, and foundational AI literacy.
