Section 3: Overview

Developing a Perspective on Artificial Intelligence

We will determine how we will respond to the Central Question: How is artificial intelligence affecting our world? Each of us will select a complex issue regarding artificial intelligence and join an expert research group related to that issue. In groups, we will read, analyze, and discuss additional arguments in our focal area and use them to further our research. From our examination, analysis, and discussion, each of us will frame, explain, and defend a position that will lead to the development of an argument in Sections 4 and 5.

  • Lesson 1:

    We will consider our options for further research and the development of an argumentative position among the following subtopics: job market, machine learning, and privacy. Based on our chosen issue, we will form a collaborative research team and begin extended reading and analysis with the goal of developing an individual perspective in our respective subtopics.

  • Lesson 2:

    We will organize in subtopic research teams, review what we think and know so far, and plan what we will read, analyze, delineate, and evaluate to extend our understanding in our subtopic.

  • Lesson 3:

    We will discuss information and delineate arguments we have individually researched, so other students on our team can use those texts in developing their own arguments.

  • Lesson 4:

    We will share additional information within research teams, then individually begin to develop a perspective and position to drive the development of our final argument.

  • Lesson 5:

    In a peer review, we will each present and delineate a proposed argument in response to the unit’s Central Question, the Culminating Task question, and our selected subtopic question. We will use our peers’ feedback to revise elements of our argument and submit them for review to our teacher.

  • Lesson 6:

    We will review feedback on the Section Diagnostic. We will use the feedback to make revisions to our work.

  • Lesson 7:

    We will share the understanding we have gained through our independent reading and continue to read our texts.
