In some neighbourhoods, there are elderly residents who live alone and rarely leave their homes. Even though there may be activities organised at community centres, many of them do not take part because they feel out of place, especially when most of the people there are already in groups. Some elderly also shared that they do not feel confident starting conversations and often feel forgotten or invisible in their own communities.

The extract is about the challenge of social isolation faced by the elderly in Singapore. In your opinion, what can be done to help the elderly feel more included and supported? Explain your answer using two strategies.

This next activity will help you step into the role of an evaluator. Instead of writing a new explanation right away, you’ll first critique an AI generated response, using a checklist. Use the prompt template below to generate a response using an AI tool (e.g. ChatGPT, Gemini).

Prompt Template:

I’m working on a recommendation to address this societal issue: [insert your issue]. Tell me why is the issue a societal concern. My idea is: [insert your strategy]. Can you help explain how this idea might help solve the problem?

1. Download the Checklist as an image.

2. Use your Apple Pencil to write feedback directly on the checklist. Base your feedback on the AI-generated response you produced earlier.

Your feedback should focus on the clarity of the explanation and whether the reasoning shows how the recommendation addresses the issue.
