Target group: Grade 9 and above

Learners critically examine the impact of generative artificial intelligence on the creative industries and develop their own well-founded position on the subject.

Content and methods:

The material provides an introduction to how generative creative content works. In a discussion, students take on different roles (e.g., politicians, tech industry, cultural workers), analyze subject-specific arguments, and compile them in a table. An optional practical task allows them to experiment with AI tools themselves.

Skills:

• Critical examination of technological innovations and their social consequences
• Change of perspective and ability to argue within the framework of a debate
• Media literacy through reflection on copyright, authenticity, and the dangers of manipulation
• Use of digital tools for creative content creation

Target group:

Grade 10 and above

Objective: The worksheet provides a basic understanding of what artificial intelligence (AI) is, how it learns through training, and where it is used in everyday life. It sensitizes learners to the differences between human thinking and machine processing, as well as to the need for human support.

Content and methods: In terms of content, the worksheet teaches the basics of artificial intelligence, how it works using examples such as image recognition and AI-supported traffic light control, and its limitations in complex or unexpected situations. Methodologically, learners identify AI applications in everyday life, analyze a practical case study, and test their knowledge of AI with a true/false quiz. This promotes both theoretical understanding and critical reflection on the use of AI.

Competencies:

• Basic technical understanding: Understanding the principle of “learning from examples”
• Critical reflection: Recognizing that AI is prone to errors and requires human guidance
• Transferability: Linking abstract definitions to concrete everyday situations

Target group and level: Grade 3 and above

Learners should develop an awareness of their digital footprint and understand the importance of acting responsibly on the internet.

Content and methods:

The worksheet explains what a digital footprint is, what traces you leave behind on the internet (e.g., videos you have watched, photos you have shared, nicknames, email addresses), and that these traces are permanent. The definition of a digital footprint is explained. The worksheet uses a visual analogy (footprints) to actively encourage learners to come up with ideas. Specific examples of traces are given (videos, photos, email addresses). The permanence of these traces and the associated dangers (e.g., password theft) are discussed. Knowledge is tested through multiple-choice questions and a case study on the application of security rules (consultation with parents).

Skills:

• Media literacy and awareness of the digital footprint
• Risk awareness when dealing with personal data and shared content
• Critical thinking when choosing safe actions on the internet

Target group:

Grades 3-4

Students understand the principle of intertextuality in pop culture using the example of pop music videos and analyze the messages conveyed by them.

Contents and methods: 

The worksheet uses a selected music video or song as a concrete reference point to examine the deliberate use of famous works of art (intertextuality). The method involves a step-by-step analysis of the work of art, the development of its art-historical background and a comparative interpretation of the original with the modern music video.

Skills:

• Analysis and interpretation
• Cultural and historical knowledge
• Transfer and comparison

Target group and level:

Grade 9 and above

Note: This worksheet does not include the video of the song in question; it must be found independently, e.g. on YouTube.

With the help of the worksheet, learners engage with a film in a structured way in order to develop a deeper understanding and to reflect on and transfer what they have seen.

Contents and methods: 

The worksheet is structured like a brochure and asks questions about the content and further questions about the film. The worksheet ends with a personal evaluation of the film.

Skills:

• Concentrated extraction of information from a visual medium
• Analysis, reflection and transfer of film content

Target group and level:

Grade 7 and above

With the help of the worksheet, learners engage with the content of a film in a structured manner before, during and after viewing it in order to develop a deeper understanding and to reflect on and transfer what they have seen.

Content and methods: 

The worksheet begins by testing prior knowledge of the film. While watching, the pupils complete multiple-choice tasks to actively engage with and consolidate their understanding. After the film, transfer tasks are used for further processing and reflection on the topic.

Skills:

• Activating and building on prior knowledge
• Concentrated extraction of information from a visual medium
• Analysis, reflection and transfer of film content

Target group and level:

Grade 7 and above

Students will develop an awareness of the deeper meanings in song lyrics. The goal is to equip them with the ability to critically question lyrics, recognize hidden messages and attitudes, and understand the impact of music as a reflection of society and individual experiences.

Content and Methods:

The worksheet addresses the complex content of song lyrics, ranging from personal experiences to societal and political messages. Students will brainstorm the significance of songs and then analyze a selected song in pairs. This process includes an initial intuitive interpretation of the video and an in-depth analysis of the lyrics for central themes. In group work, specific text passages are researched. Methods include brainstorming, video and text analysis, partner and group work, and research.

Skills:

• Critical thinking and questioning of media content
• Analyzing texts for deeper meanings and messages
• Researching and discussing socially relevant topics
• Collaboration and communication in groups

Target Group and Level:

Grade 5 and above

Students will develop an understanding of the impact of song lyrics and linguistic stylistic devices. The goal is to enhance their ability to critically analyze and recognize how songs convey emotions, messages and opinions.

Content and Methods:

The worksheet begins with a brainstorming session on memorable phrases. It then introduces musical language by explaining stylistic devices such as metaphors, repetitions, ad-libs, and alliterations. A key component is the analysis of a specific song's lyrics in two steps: first, students note their spontaneous impressions, then, in partner work, they examine the lyrics for central themes and stylistic devices. Students attempt initial interpretations and, in group work, research deeper meanings of the stylistic devices and imagery used. Methods include brainstorming, video and text analysis, partner and group work and research.

Skills:

• Critical thinking and analysis of media messages
• Identifying and understanding linguistic stylistic devices in song lyrics
• Interpreting metaphors and symbols
• Researching linguistic phenomena
• Collaboration and discussion in groups
