2. Write an essay of approximately 250-300 words based on the following scenario. (15%)
During a writing assignment, you notice that several students have submitted essays bearing the unmistakable hallmarks of
Generative AI (e.g., ChatGPT). When you address the issue with the class, some students openly admit to using the tools but
argue that prompting an AI is no different from using a dictionary, a spell-checker, or a search engine. Therefore, they insist
it should not be considered plagiarism or academic dishonesty.
As a high school English teacher, how would you immediately address this misconception and handle their assignments fairly?
Furthermore, what long-term pedagogical strategies would you implement in your curriculum to cultivate students' "AI
literacy," ensuring they learn to use these tools ethically and effectively to enhance—rather than replace—their own language
acquisition?
