Your activity / Right here

Bring a notebook. Begin below.

The activity is included on this page. Work on paper or in your own document; keep your first attempt and the evidence you checked.

Luna's Unplugged Break

Luna says: dogs do not scroll. No phone. About 10 minutes.

Go outside or sit by a window with no phone. Notice five things: one sound, one smell, one thing that moves, one color, and one question that pops into your head. When you come back, write all five down.

Why it matters: attention you give on purpose belongs to you.

Values Check

Circle three words that feel most like you. You will use them in Chapter 2.

Honesty, Courage, Family, Creativity, Fairness, Faith, Learning, Kindness, Freedom, Loyalty, Health, Adventure, Respect, Humor, Service, Excellence

Exit Ticket

One thing I will keep human this week, and why:

Pause & reflect

What changed in your thinking?

Write one sentence in your notebook. Name what you checked, what you chose, or what you want to explore next.

Read the video transcript

Read along, pause, or return to an idea. This transcript follows the selected lesson video.

I'm Carla, an AI avatar. Luna has a challenge for you. I don't scroll. I notice. Hi, I'm Luna. I'm a dog. Here's your challenge. Put your phone in another room. Go outside or sit by a window for ten minutes. Notice five things: one sound, one smell, one thing that moves, one color, and one question that pops into your head. Then write them down. That attention was yours. Nobody recommended it. See you next chapter.
Before you use an AI tool

Follow your course or institution's rules. Use an instructor-approved tool that permits your age, and meet any required consent conditions. Keep names, contact details, school records, and other private information out of prompts. Use fictional examples when you can.

Learning without an AI account

Follow the demonstration, pause before each answer, and do the reasoning on paper. Discuss what you would ask, how you would check it, and which decisions would remain yours.

About the characters and voices

This course uses AI-created characters and synthetic voices. Carla is an AI avatar. They help tell the story; they are not real students sharing testimonials.
