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: at dinner, a dog watches faces, not screens. No phones. One meal.

Have one phone-free meal with family or friends. Put every phone in another room. Ask one question you have never asked, such as "What was hard for you when you were my age?" Notice one thing you learned that no AI could have told you.

Why it matters: some things people share only face to face.

Values Check

Other people's words, photos, and secrets belong to them. Finish this sentence: "I protect other people's information because I value __________."

Exit Ticket

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

Pause & reflect

Read the video transcript

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

Hi, I'm Luna. At dinner, I watch faces, not screens. This week, you get to try it. Pick one meal with family or friends. Put every phone in another room. Yes, even the phone lying face down on the table. Especially that one. Ask one question you've never asked, like "What was hard for you when you were my age?" Then really listen. If someone forgets and reaches for a phone, no scolding. Just smile and ask another question. Notice one thing you learned that no AI could have told you. Some things people only share face to face. 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.
