| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to AI | 5 minutes | Briefly introduce the topic of AI, discussing its definition and relevance in daily life. Show examples through a multimedia presentation. |
| 2 | Group Task Explanation | 5 minutes | Divide students into groups of 4-5 and explain the group task related to AI. Assign roles within the groups for collaborative work. |
| 3 | Group Activity | 10 minutes | Groups work together on the assigned task, researching AI examples, and preparing a presentation about their findings. |
| 4 | Printable Card Distribution | 5 minutes | Distribute cards to students. Explain that students will fill them during the lesson with key concepts and examples discussed. |
| 5 | Collecting Cards | 3 minutes | Randomly collect or check the completed cards from students to assess understanding and learning. |
| 6 | Conclusion & Recap | 2 minutes | Summarize key points discussed in the lesson. Address any questions and provide additional resources if students wish to explore further. |
Assign students to research an AI tool or application used in real life. They should write a short paragraph describing how it works and where it's used. Collect these homework assignments the following class without any presentations.
"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to explore an exciting topic: Artificial Intelligence, often referred to as AI. Can anyone tell me what they think AI is? (Pause for responses) Great ideas!
AI is a technology that allows machines to learn and respond like humans. It’s everywhere in our lives, from virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa to recommendation systems on Netflix or Amazon. Let’s take a look at a short multimedia presentation that highlights some of these examples."
(Show the multimedia presentation on examples of AI.)
"Alright class, now that we've got a basic understanding of AI, it's time to dive deeper! I’m going to divide you into groups of 4-5 students. Each group will have a specific task related to AI.
Your task is to research an example of AI that interests you. You will prepare a short presentation to share your findings with the class. Each person in your group will have a role — a researcher, a presenter, and a note-taker. Choose your roles wisely!
Let’s split into groups now!"
(Guide students in forming groups and ensure they understand their roles.)
"You have 10 minutes to start working on your group task. Use the computers or tablets, if available, to research your AI example. Think about how it works, where it’s used, and why it's important. Remember, you’ll be presenting this to the class, so be clear and prepare well!
I’ll be walking around to assist and answer any questions you may have. Let’s get started!"
(Monitor the groups and provide help as needed.)
"Time’s up, everyone! I hope you’re all set for your presentations. Before we continue, I have some cards for you. Each of you will receive one of these printable cards.
As we go through the rest of the lesson, I want you to fill out these cards with the key concepts and examples we discuss. This will help reinforce your learning about AI. Make sure to include any interesting facts you uncover during your research as well!
I’ll hand these out now."
(Distribute the cards and markers/pens.)
"Great job today, everyone! Now, let’s take a moment to collect your cards. I want you to finish writing any last thoughts you have. You can hand them to me as you leave, or I’ll come around and check them.
The cards will help me see how well you’ve understood what we discussed today. So, think carefully before you submit them."
(Collect cards or check them in any organized manner.)
"To wrap up our lesson, let’s take a moment to summarize what we’ve discussed. Can someone share one thing they learned about AI today? (Pause for responses) Excellent points!
AI is becoming an integral part of our world. If anyone has questions about what we covered, feel free to ask now.
Remember, for homework, I’d like you to research an AI tool or application used in real life. Write a short paragraph describing how it works and where it's used. We’ll collect those in our next class.
Thank you for your participation today! I hope you found this exploration of AI insightful. Have a great day!"
