🌟 Your Voice with AI
Make AI sound like you — not like AI.
🔥 Warm Up — 3 minutes
"When people use AI to write things for them, the result often sounds the same. Generic. Smooth. But missing something. Today we figure out what that something is — and how to keep it."
"Your voice is the thing AI cannot copy. Today you find it."
🤖 The Activity — 20 minutes
Part 1 — Find your voice (10 minutes)
Your child writes 3 sentences about anything they feel strongly about — a favourite thing, something that bothers them, something they find beautiful. No editing. Their real voice.
Read AI's analysis. Ask: does this feel accurate? Is there something AI missed?
Part 2 — Protect it (10 minutes)
Iterate until the output genuinely sounds like them. This is the hardest thing AI has been asked to do in the entire programme — match a specific human voice.
🧩 The Twist — 5 minutes
Read all five. Ask: Which voice do you like most? Which do you like least? What does your preference say about you?
Voice is the most personal thing in writing. If you submit writing that sounds like AI wrote it — a teacher will notice, and more importantly, you will know it is not yours. The goal is always: AI helps you say what you want to say, more clearly. Not: AI says things on your behalf.

▼Voice and identity in AI-assisted writing — one of the most important concepts for young writers in the AI era.
- What did AI's analysis of your voice reveal that you had not noticed yourself?
- When you read the AI-assisted version — does it sound like you?
- What is something about your writing that AI could never replicate?
This session often produces the most personal and meaningful conversation in the entire programme. Your child's writing voice is genuinely worth knowing and protecting.
Some children at this age have very strong voices — strong enough that AI's generic output is obviously different. Others have not yet found their voice and the contrast is less clear. Both are fine.
