Real, Fake, or AI? | 40 AI Literacy Bell Ringers, Daily Warm-Ups Grades 6-12

Five minutes a day that makes your students harder to fool. Forty no-prep, projectable warm-ups where students spot fake sources, suspicious statistics, invented quotes, and confidently wrong claims, then defend their verdict.

The eight categories (5 warm-ups each):

• Fake Source Files: invented journals and institutes that collapse in one search
• Suspicious Stats: the too-exact numbers fake claims wear
• Quote or No Quote: fabricated famous quotes (and one real one, because verification cuts both ways)
• Real or Invented?: true facts that sound fake, myths that sound true
• Check the Date: quiet off-by-a-few-years errors, plus one trick item with no error at all
• How Would This Be Known?: claims nobody could ever have measured
• Fix the Overconfidence: students rewrite overclaims to match the evidence
• Verify It: full three-check verification challenges

What's inside:

• 48-page projectable PDF (landscape): 40 warm-ups + how-to page + complete answer key with explanations
• Student Answer Log (printable PDF): verdict + reasoning tracker for all 40
• Editable Word file: every prompt, task, and answer as plain text for adapting or rebuilding in your own templates

Works in any subject, any order, with or without student devices. Every answer is factually accurate and explained, including the nuanced ones. Builds the same three-check verification habit taught in our First-Week AI Talk mini-unit; the two pair naturally.
