When ChatGPT Puts on a Costume

This worksheet is designed for Grades 5, 6, and 7 to help students explore how perspective, audience, and assigned roles shape the tone, style, and content of AI-generated responses. Through prediction and comparison, learners analyze how an AI responds differently when asked to act as a teacher, coach, scientist, or other roles, strengthening their understanding of voice, communication style, and purpose-driven writing.
