Evidence Court — TPT listing package

Product title

Evidence Court: Device-Free AI & Source Literacy Game | Grades 9–12

One-line promise

Turn source evaluation into a 20–25 minute evidence trial—without student accounts, live AI, current-events research, or personal data.

Description

Students receive a fictional AI-style answer and three evidence cards. In groups of 3–5, they act as Claimant, Skeptic, Source Auditor, and Judge, then issue one of three verdicts: accept, hold, or reject.

The goal is not to guess the teacher's answer. Students earn points by citing a specific card, limiting a claim to what the evidence actually supports, distinguishing missing evidence from contrary evidence, and requesting one relevant next source.

Included

• 6 original fictional cases
• role instructions and 20–25 minute lesson flow
• reasoning-based scoring rubric
• teacher case notes
• exit ticket
• teacher observation sheet

Designed for

• Grades 9–12
• media and information literacy
• digital citizenship and AI literacy
• English language arts, social studies, research, advisory, or library lessons
• groups of 3–5 students

Privacy and technology

No live AI tool, student login, camera, microphone, internet connection, or personal-data collection is required. Every person, organization, quotation, statistic, and publication inside the cases is fictional by design.

Transparent limitations

This resource teaches evidence reasoning; it does not certify AI safety, detect whether text was generated by AI, replace a school's AI policy, or provide legal advice. Classroom outcomes are not guaranteed.
