3. Instructional Materials

• Computer or laptop, where available.
• Whiteboard and markers.
• Pictures or examples of AI-enabled applications.
• Smartphone or voice-assistant demonstration, where available.
• Projector or prepared charts showing AI applications.

4. Teaching Methods

Explanation, discussion, demonstration, questioning, brainstorming and group activities.

5. Presentation of the Lesson

Time	Teacher's Activities	Students' Activities
10 mins	Introduction: The teacher asks students whether they have used translation apps, voice assistants, recommendation systems or chatbots. The teacher uses their responses to introduce Artificial Intelligence.	Students mention familiar digital applications and describe what they help users do.
10 mins	Meaning of AI: The teacher defines Artificial Intelligence and explains that AI systems can perform tasks such as recognizing patterns, interpreting language and making predictions. The teacher distinguishes AI from simple automation.	Students define AI in their own words and give examples of tasks that AI systems can perform.
15 mins	AI in Education and Healthcare: The teacher explains how AI can support learning, language practice, medical-image analysis and health research. The teacher highlights that AI results require appropriate human review.	Students identify applications in education and healthcare and state one benefit of each.
15 mins	AI in Business and Everyday Life: The teacher discusses chatbots, product recommendations, spam detection, translation, predictive text and route suggestions. The teacher also introduces examples from agriculture and transportation.	Students classify examples according to the sectors where AI may be used and explain their purposes.
10 mins	Benefits and Limitations: The teacher explains benefits such as speed, automation and pattern recognition, alongside limitations such as inaccurate results, bias, privacy risks and overdependence.	Students identify benefits and limitations and discuss why AI-generated information should be checked.
10 mins	Class Activity: The teacher asks groups to identify three AI applications, explain what each does, and state one benefit and one limitation. The teacher guides a short discussion on responsible AI use.	Students work in groups, record their findings and present their examples to the class.
5 mins	Evaluation: The teacher asks oral questions on the meaning, applications, benefits and limitations of AI.	Students answer the questions and provide relevant examples.
5 mins	Conclusion and Assignment: The teacher summarizes the lesson, emphasizes privacy and fact-checking, and gives the assignment.	Students note the main points and copy the assignment.
Total Time: 80 Minutes
