Bring history and literature to life with the power of AI. In this one-hour session, educators will discover how effective prompting can transform AI into a creative classroom partner. Learn how to generate engaging instructional materials such as historical diary entries, speeches, newspaper articles, letters, interviews, and stories written in the style of famous authors. We'll begin with prompt-writing strategies that produce accurate, high-quality results, then explore practical examples that help students connect with historical events and literary works in meaningful ways. Whether you're looking to enrich existing lessons or create entirely new learning experiences, you'll leave with ready-to-use ideas and prompts you can immediately apply in your classroom.
