AI Ethics Council Day 8 — Listen for the Evidence
Run the lesson here; the student item below remains the independent and absence route.
Daily Learning Contract
Topic: Evidence-based ethical deliberation
Objective: Students will evaluate competing stakeholder claims, respond to evidence-based objections, and justify a personal verdict that may differ from an assigned role.
- §126.19(c)(12)(A) — integrate use of appropriate technology terminology in scholarly inquiry and dialogue such as classroom discussion and written samples;
Demonstration of learning: Role brief, hearing notes that capture each role's claim and evidence, one answered objection, and a personal-verdict reflection.
Before class
Time: One class period
Student route: Day 8: AI Ethics Public Hearing
Use what already exists: Completed role briefs; Casebook; hearing note-catcher.
Lesson flow
- Launch: Launch with a concrete question or failure that makes deliberation matter.
- Model: Model one current example or tool move before students begin.
- Do: Guide the first decision together, then release students to the existing Canvas task.
- Check + support: Check for the named evidence, not completion alone; keep a visual sequence, sentence stems, and purposeful partner roles available.
- Close + handoff: Collect or verify the evidence and name the next lesson's connection.
Check before students leave
Ask students to point to the specific evidence above and explain one choice, test, or revision. Completion alone is not evidence of understanding.
Support + troubleshooting
Scaffold: Keep the visual task sequence visible, assign purposeful partner roles, and use the sentence stems on the student page before simplifying the task.
When students get stuck: Ask for the exact step where the tool, code, or task stopped. Check setup, inputs, and saved work before replacing the task or lowering the thinking.
