Question the Author Answer Key

This worksheet asks students to read an informational passage about self-driving cars and answer multiple-choice questions about how their AI systems work. Afterward, students complete a “Question the Author” task by writing three thoughtful questions-clarifying, challenging, or extending the ideas in the passage. This encourages deeper engagement with informational text, strengthens comprehension, and builds the ability to ask meaningful questions about technology and safety.
