The technique works by showing only fragments of a graph at the start, with parts obscured or missing. Learners are challenged to state what they notice and wonder. Slowly, information in the graph is revealed, allowing learners to update their theories about the graph based on each new bit of evidence.

Doing this activity regularly with different graphs is great for building learners’ confidence levels in graph interpretation. The activity allows students to feel more comfortable joining in as there is no “right” answer when there is limited information available, just potential theories.

Go to the Slow Reveal Graphs website for more information and many ready-made slow reveal graphs to choose from: .

You can also make your own slow reveal graphs by taking a graph of your choice and covering sections up in your slideshow.

Here is one of our “homemade” examples: Slow Reveal Graphs – Refugee 天美视频

This activity follows on from the ‘Is this a Zegah?‘ and ‘Let’s generate a sentence‘ activities about AI.

The ‘Let’s generate a sentence’ activity might not have gone so well.聽 Our sentence didn鈥檛 really reflect a prompt.聽 Also, the sentence you wrote was maybe more like 鈥淭he elephant flew under the train鈥� than 鈥淭he cat sat on the mat鈥�, with no connection between the individual words.

For example, if the animal selected was a cat, then verbs like 鈥榩urred鈥� and 鈥榩ounced鈥� and 鈥榣azed鈥� would be far more likely than verbs such as 鈥榖arked鈥� and 鈥榝etched鈥�.

So, we鈥檙e going to try again. We鈥檙e going to write a story.聽聽This time, we鈥檙e going to be able to see the last few words in the sentence.聽聽We will also have a prompt.

This activity is very similar to the game Consequences where you write words and fold over the paper and pass it on (or Cheddar Gorge where you try to keep a sentence going as long as possible).聽 We鈥檙e going to adapt this a little so we can see the last three words in the sentence, which reflects the limited ‘memory’ in AI systems like Chat-GPT.

Following on from the ‘Is this a Zegah?’ activity, lets work together to train a baby Chat GPT to write a sentence!

This activity uses an online survey tool like Wooclap to create wordclouds from responses, but you could instead ask learners to write their responses on individual sticky notes which could then be arranged into a sticky note bar graph to find the most frequent responses.

Together the learners or participants will ‘write’ a sentence like “The cat sat on the mat” …or “The elephant flew under the train”.

This image was generated by AI.聽 We are quite impressed at the child’s ability to write upside down in crayon.聽 That must be why she wrote ‘sat’ twice!

At the end of the day, they are software, they鈥檙e prediction engines, to make decisions based on images or data it has already encountered.

This is an activity called 鈥淚s this a Zegah?鈥� and it was developed by Dr Marc Cicchino for the New Jersey AI Literacy Summit.聽 Marc asked his young kid for a made up word, and the child very seriously thought about it and responded 鈥淶egah鈥�.

Can your learners work out what a Zegah is?

In this activity that requires both creativity and understanding a data set, learners will create a fun, physical representation of a provided data set using the materials and tools available.

Take a look at our slides introducing the activity, data set, and some inspiration from past workshop participants’ creations!

Slides

The Kits

The kits can contain whatever reusable crafting materials or random objects you have lying around (the idea is to reduce waste by encouraging repurposing of objects, and also to use objects which can be easily dissembled and used again and again). However, if you’d like to get an idea of what you could use, or assemble a kit from scratch, we have a priced-up list of items you could purchase:

The 天美视频

We have used a simplifed version of a data set from a of American undergraduate students about appropriateness of different behaviours in different locations.

This slide deck contains a version appropriate for secondary school learners: Secondary data set

This slide deck contains a version appropriate for primary school learners: Primary data set

If you would like to collect your own data on appropriateness of different behaviours, you can use this as a template.

We are in the process of gathering more data sets that would work well for this activity, which we will keep adding to below. You can also look through our 天美视频 Sets resource聽for more ideas!

Planets data set: This data table, perfect for tying into a unit on space, compares features of the eight planets such as mass, orbital distance, length of day, and number of moons.

Inspiration

Here is what some of our previous teacher workshop participants have created!

Note: This activity was inspired by a some of our team members attended at the Information+ 2023 conference in Edinburgh. The workshop was organised by Sarah Hayes, Trevir Hogan, Rebecca Noonan and Denise Heffernan (Munster Technological University); (University of Bath); and Martin Lindrup (Aalborg University).

In this activity, learners are introduced to ten different types of charts and graphs. The challenge is a ten-question quiz that can only be answered by understanding the information visualised in the different charts and graphs. This activity will boost data literacy and data visualisation interpretation skills, and can also be used to raise discussions about how effective each graph is, and what could be changed to make some of the graphs better.

All files are editable, so feel free to adapt to use with other graphs!
