Teacher-only planning companion for AI News Analysis. Use it to teach AI stories as texts that can be interrogated for purpose, framing, evidence, and missing voices.
This companion works best when students analyse one shared story first. That allows kaiako to model how to move from summary into critique before students tackle independent source work.
Students identify misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation in media and digital media texts by examining indicators such as emotional language, unreliable sources, misleading purpose, or manipulated or missing context.
The worksheet asks students to test evidence, missing voices, framing, and balance rather than accepting an AI story at face value.
Te Mātaiaho English, Phase 4 Text Studies practices.
Using questioning techniques to clarify and summarise information and to support deeper discussion by encouraging others to extend, refine, or respond to ideas.
The final judgement and discussion prompts give students a reason to refine one another’s interpretations rather than stopping at isolated written responses.
Te Mātaiaho English, Phase 4 Language Studies practices.
Explore perspectives, use evidence to form conclusions, and share ideas: Compare systems, map decisions, present new solutions.
Use the te ao Māori values lens to keep the analysis connected to power, fairness, and community impact, not just “good reporting” techniques.
Useful where media literacy and civic judgement are being taught together.
