Pros and Cons Sorting

Students read a detailed text explaining strengths and weaknesses of both small and big AI models, including speed, cost, accuracy, and power requirements. Each statement in the activity asks students to determine whether it applies to small models, big models, or both, requiring careful attention to the passage. This helps students differentiate between shared capabilities and unique advantages of each model type. The sorting exercise strengthens analytical reading as students must interpret nuances such as performance limits and technical constraints. Learners also practice critical thinking by connecting context clues to the best answer. The worksheet supports digital literacy through meaningful comparisons between AI system types.
