She reads the answers and checks them in a book. Then she writes the project in her own words. She shows her teacher and classmates what she learned. I think they used AI: **responsibly** (she checked the facts and used her own words) - Tom uses AI to make mean messages about a classmate. The messages hurt the classmate's feelings. Tom learns that using AI to hurt others is wrong. He says sorry and tries to be kinder next time. I think they used AI: **irresponsibly** (he used AI to hurt someone) **Think of two ways you can use AI responsibly.** Write one or two sentences about each. Draw pictures to show others your ideas. Book example: *When doing my homework, I can use AI to check information. I can take the answer AI gives me and use it to write my own ideas and opinions.* Sample answers: 1. **When I don't understand a word, I can ask AI to explain it in easy English.** 2. **I never tell AI my name, address or school. I keep my data safe.** --- ## Pages 25 to 33 - Story: Leo and NOVA Leo liked easy things. He did not enjoy working hard, and he always looked for the fastest way to finish his tasks. If something felt difficult, Leo would quickly try to find a shortcut instead of trying again. One afternoon, Leo walked into his room and noticed something strange on his desk. It was a small, shiny machine, glowing softly in the light. "Hello," it said in a calm voice. "My name is NOVA." Leo stepped closer, feeling excited and curious. "What can you do?" he asked. "I can help you with many things," NOVA replied. Leo smiled. "Then help me with my homework," he said quickly. In just a few seconds, NOVA finished everything. Every answer was neat and correct, and the work looked perfect. Leo felt proud as he looked at the page. "This is amazing," he said. "I don't have to do any work at all." The next day, Leo had another idea. "Clean my room," he told NOVA. The machine moved quickly and pushed everything under the bed. From the outside, the room looked clean and tidy. Leo laughed. "Well... it looks good enough," he said. At school, Leo used NOVA again. "Help me win the quiz," he whispered. NOVA gave him all the answers. Leo finished first and got every question right. His classmates looked impressed, but inside, Leo felt something was not right. Later, the teacher smiled and asked, "Leo, can you explain your answers to the class?" Leo's heart began to beat faster. His mind felt empty. He looked at his paper, but the answers did not make sense to him. He stayed quiet. He did not know what to say. "Show me something," Leo said. "Show me the future." Suddenly, the room changed. Leo saw a world where AI was used the wrong way. Machines did everything, and people stopped thinking. Learning disappeared. Then he saw another world. People worked with AI, learning, creating, and solving problems together. The world felt full of energy. "Now I understand," Leo said. "Help me learn, not just give answers. Help me think." This time, NOVA guided him step by step. Leo began to understand his work and felt proud. He smiled. "AI is powerful... but we must use it responsibly." --- ## Page 34 - Comprehension: Leo and NOVA **1.
