The First-Week AI Talk | 3 Ready-to-Teach Lessons, Slides, Worksheets (Grades 6-12)

Your students used AI all summer. Nobody taught them how it works. This mini-unit is the classroom version of that conversation: three ready-to-teach lessons for the first week of school, before habits form.

The three lessons:

• Lesson 1: The Prediction Machine. What AI actually is, what it isn't, and why it sounds confident even when it's wrong. Includes the "Two Truths and a Hallucination" class game.
• Lesson 2: The Rules Here. The three-label system (Prohibited, Allowed with disclosure, Expected), the ask-first habit, and the privacy rule with no exceptions. Includes the 10-scenario sort activity.
• Lesson 3: Spot the Hallucination. Students hunt planted errors in six AI-style passages and build a three-check verification habit they keep all year.

What's inside:

• Teacher Guide (10 pages): complete lesson plans, word-for-word scripts, timing, answer keys, and grades 6-8 / 9-12 adaptation notes
• 22 discussion slides (editable PowerPoint, imports cleanly to Google Slides)
• 3 printable worksheets + 3 exit tickets (PDF)
• Editable pack (Word): every worksheet, passage, scenario, and teacher script as editable text

25 to 45 minutes per lesson. No student devices required for two of the three lessons. No AI experience required to teach it. Tool-agnostic: nothing depends on which platform your school uses.

Pairs naturally with the AI Classroom Rules Poster Pack, so your wall and your lessons say the same thing.
