Abstract

Exploring Artificial Intelligence (AI) in English Language Arts (ELA) with StoryQ is a 10-hour curriculum module designed for high school ELA classes. The module introduces students to fundamental AI concepts and essential machine learning workflow using StoryQ, a web- based GUI environment for Grades 6-12 learners. In this module, students work with unstructured text data and learn to train, test, and improve text classification models such as intent recognition, clickbait filter, and sentiment analysis. As they interact with machine-learning language models deeply, students also gain a nuanced understanding of language and how to wield it, not just as a data structure, but as a tool in our human-human encounters as well. The current version contains eight lessons, all delivered through a full-featured online learning and teaching platform. Computers and Internet access are required to implement the module. The module was piloted in an ELA class in the Spring of 2022, and the student learning outcomes were positive. The module is currently undergoing revision and will be further tested and improved in Fall 2022. Background1 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming numerous industries and generating enormous wealth. However, the advancement in AI is reshaping the workforce, impacting people whose jobs can be replaced or redefined by AI systems. The wealth generated by AI advancement is unevenly distributed across different demographic groups, exacerbating existing inequities in society. Inequalities arising from current AI development are partially rooted in the unequal access to AI educational opportunities. K-12 is the critical stage for young people to develop foundational knowledge and interest in AI-related careers. At minimum, students need to understand that the current approach to AI development is based on machine learning (ML) from data and that data needs to be structured in ways such that machines can learn meaningful patterns (Touretzky et al., 2019). Ultimately, students should understand the roles and responsibilities of AI developers and potential pathways for their own participation in AI development.
