Add to cartDescription
Not sure how to address ChatGPT and other AI tools in the secondary classroom? Worried about the use of artificial intelligence and plagiarism in schools? Looking to engage middle and high school students in relevant, age-appropriate discussions about current events in technology while increasing digital literacy? This lesson is for you!
ChatGPT, a natural language processing app by OpenAI, is gaining popularity among students and adults alike. Many teachers have well-founded concerns about potential issues due to this AI technology...but AI doesn't have to be a source of anxiety and fear! This lesson will help you jumpstart conversations around the software in your classroom while having a bit of fun with your students!
The Details!
In this lesson, students will be tasked with reading 3 essays and determining which one belongs to which author: a student, a teacher, and ChatGPT. But there's a (secret) catch...all three essays were written actually written by ChatGPT!
After watching a video to gain background knowledge, completing the "Identifying Authorship" task, and discovering the "secret" about the essays, students will engage in a lively class discussion and complete a reflective exit ticket. Through it all, you will be addressing the benefits and drawbacks of ChatGPT and teaching students to use tech tools responsibly and ethically.
This unique, creative, and engaging lesson plan includes...
- A Google Slides presentation with teacher instructions
- Three ChatGPT-generated essays
- An evidence-tracking document for students
- Discussion bank of 20 possible questions to spark conversation
- A reflection-based exit ticket
- ...and the priceless opportunity to get ahead of ChatGPT & AI use in your classroom!

The material here was very helpful as I planned my AI unit. I had created all the material in my original unit. When it came time to use my unit, I realized that many things had changed since AI is evolving fast. This resource had good material to supplement for the areas that I had to remove.

I recommend this resource aligned with Common Core Standards. This resource offered diverse look at ChatGPT with text excerpts helping students cite evidence effectively (RI.1). Additionally, it fostered engaging and respectful discussions - almost turned into a debate (SL.1) and through the exit ticket and discussion prompts the group activities promoted students' ability to respond to and build off of others' ideas with respect (SL.1d). It's user-friendly, editable, complete, and easy-to-understand instructions for various grades. It's an invaluable aid for experienced and novice teachers alike and even Subs! This I-Spay resource enhanced academic skills, but also cultivated an inclusive classroom environment. Don't miss out on this exceptional piece; it's a game-changer for sure and was super fun to watch the students have a productive struggle thinking through their options! :-)

My students had some thought-provoking explanations while trying to defend which essays they believed were written by a teacher, a student, or ChatGPT. This product worked well with teaching students that AI is something that can be used responsibly, but that it is not something that should ever replace old-fashioned critical thinking and analysis.
