Make the lesson yours.
Examine a news item on paper.
Open the Unplugged Break below. The short video introduces the activity; allow time to complete it away from your screen.
Separate a reported fact from an opinion or prediction.
Complete the chapter reflection and save your portfolio work. Your instructor may run the chapter game and quiz separately.
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: paper news does not refresh. No phone. About 20 minutes.
Find a printed newspaper, magazine, or community flyer. Your school or public library may have copies you can read for free. Read for 15 minutes with no phone nearby. Pick one claim and write:
1. Who is making this claim?
2. What evidence do they give?
3. How could you check it without a screen? (Hint: you could ask the person or group who made it.)
Notice how reading feels when nothing is recommending the next story.
Values Check
Before you share news, it passes through your values. Finish this sentence: "Before I share something about AI, I will __________, because I value __________."
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.
Hi, I'm Luna.
Here's a secret.
Paper news doesn't refresh, and it doesn't know what you
clicked yesterday.
This week, find a printed newspaper,
a magazine, or a community flyer.
Your library may have free copies.
Read for fifteen minutes with your phone in another room.
Pick one claim.
Who is making it?
What evidence do they give?
How could you check it without a screen?
Notice how it feels when nothing tells you what to read next.
Then tell someone at home one thing you learned.
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.
Designed for high-school and community-college learners. Choose examples from your classes, work, and everyday life. Keep your completed work in your course portfolio.
