- Promote civil discourse and emotional awareness
- Integrate AI as a non-directive partner for reflection and guidance
Grade Level: Middle School – High School
Description: Students role-play as another student dealing with invisible struggles (e.g., family stress, social exclusion).
AI Use: After role-play, students reflect with the AI:
"How did it feel pretending to be Alex today?"
AI responds with guided questions:
"What surprised you about their experience?"
Grade Level: Grades 4–10
Description: Students read short stories where characters face moral trade-offs (e.g., loyalty vs. honesty).
Task: Students discuss in groups: What would you do and why?
AI Use: Offers counter-perspectives to stimulate deeper thinking.
"Some people might say honesty is more important than protecting a friend. What do you think?"
Grade Level: Elementary – Middle School
Description: One student starts by thanking someone in the class for a kind action. The recipient then continues the chain.
Goal: Build emotional vocabulary and gratitude.
AI Use: Helps students phrase appreciation if they struggle.
"You can say: 'Thank you for making me feel included during group work.' "
