Emotional Rollercoaster of AI

This worksheet is designed for Grades 6, 7, and 8 to help students explore how prompt wording influences the emotional tone and voice of AI-generated responses. Through prediction, analysis, and explanation, learners examine how different purposes-such as persuasion, humor, or formal communication-shape mood, personality, and emotional impact. The activity strengthens writing awareness, critical thinking, and technology literacy by connecting tone choices directly to prompt design.
