Once the Historical Context and the Character Profile have been created, the next step is to write a brief narrative in first person, as if the character were speaking directly from their world. This narrative helps students connect emotionally with the past and exercise their imagination within rigorous historical limits.

Baseline information.

​
The student must have ready:

  • The previously generated historical context.
  • The Character Profile

Create the prompt for AI.

To develop a quality Historical Context using Artificial Intelligence, it is essential that students learn to formulate a good prompt: a clear and precise message that indicates exactly what we want the AI to write.
  1. Present the objective:
    Explain that you want to create a short text where the character expresses themselves in their own voice, relating actions, thoughts, or sensations of daily life in their historical context.
  2. Give clear instructions:
    The message should explicitly indicate that:
    • Only information from the historical context and the character profile can be used.
    • The result must be narrated in first person.
    • The style should be sensory and evocative, avoiding modern language.
    • There should be no anachronisms or inventions outside the period.
  3. Specify format and style:
    • Length: 90 to 130 words.
    • Tone: Narrative, poetic, or intimate; not technical or academic.
    • Narrator: First person singular (I).
    • Language: Sensory (uses sounds, textures, images, emotions).
    • Content: Must indirectly reflect the data from the profile and context (for example, show the use of fire or the manufacture of bifaces in action, not in list form).
  4. Always use simple and direct language in the prompt to avoid misinterpretations.

Critical review

The goal is for students to learn to critically review AI-generated content and identify errors by comparing the generated text with the original sources.
  • Compare point by point with the original information:
    • Check if the text includes all the data provided:
      • Period
      • Technology
      • Environment
      • Society
      • Key innovation
    • Verify if those data are reflected correctly, using the Historical Data and the textbook as references.
  • Detect unauthorized information:
    • Check if the text adds information that does not appear in their Historical Data or in the book.
    • If they detect additions (such as inventions, events, technologies, or customs not mentioned in the book), they should consider it an error.
  • Identify historical errors:
    • Check if the text includes anachronisms or incorrect data (for example, mentioning pottery in the Lower Paleolithic).
  • Record errors in an Error Table

Re-Prompt

  • If there are small errors, the student can correct the text directly.
  • If there are many errors, it is recommended to redo the prompt with better adjustments.

Final Narrative

Students will add the final Narrative to the Character Profile.Narrativa Pn
