Error Classification

This worksheet supports students in Grades 6, 7, and 8 as they practice close reading, logical analysis, classification, and evidence-based justification by examining AI-generated responses. Learners identify patterns in incorrect outputs and explain whether each mistake reflects bias, lack of context, outdated knowledge, or flawed reasoning, strengthening both literacy and technology understanding .

Academic Focus

• Error Classification (Grades 6-8)
  Students categorize AI responses into clear error types using defined criteria and examples.
• Reading & Justification Skills
  Learners explain their classifications with written reasoning that references specific details from the text.
• Critical Thinking & Logic Evaluation
  Activities promote analyzing how and why incorrect conclusions are formed.
• AI & Media Literacy
  Students build awareness of common AI mistake patterns and how they impact information reliability.

Learning Benefits

• Educator-Created Design
  Developed to make complex AI concepts understandable and classroom-ready.
• Flexible Instructional Use
  Ideal for ELA lessons, technology units, media literacy instruction, or cross-curricular projects.
• Clear Structure
  Error categories and prompts are scaffolded to support independent or guided practice.
• Engages Higher-Order Thinking
  Encourages comparison, justification, and analytical discussion rather than simple right-or-wrong answers.

This printable worksheet helps students strengthen skills in classification, justification, logical reasoning, and digital literacy by examining how AI systems can fail in different ways. By recognizing patterns such as bias, missing context, outdated information, and reasoning errors, learners become more thoughtful consumers of information. It’s a practical, no-prep resource that works well for both classroom instruction and homeschool learning.
