Fields of Law: Matching worksheet

This worksheet explores the topic of AI surveillance in schools through a fictional interview-style reading. Students hear from a vice principal, two students, a teacher, and a human rights lawyer—all sharing their views on constant classroom monitoring. The lesson includes comprehension and discussion questions to promote critical thinking about privacy, control, and emotional wellbeing in modern education. A true story box highlights a real school case from New Jersey, where surveillance caused student pushback. To support language development, the worksheet features a matching activity for phrasal verbs related to observation and control. Perfect for B1–B2 learners in conversation classes, this lesson encourages deep discussion on a timely and relatable issue for teenagers.
