How to use this resource!

A few times each week, we’ll use AI to help us understand important people, vocabulary, and events in history. You’ll spend 10–15 minutes connecting the person to the event in a meaningful way.

Here’s how it works:

  • Use AI to ask questions if you don’t understand a word, event, or idea.

  • Make sure your response shows a connection between the person and the event.

  • I will read your responses and may ask you to explain more.

Remember: Learning to communicate clearly with AI is an important skill. The better your questions, the better the answers you’ll receive. This practice will help you not only understand history but also become more skilled at asking questions and thinking critically.
