Turn your classroom into a high-stakes historical debate with this ready-to-use Generative AI lesson. Students begin by stepping into the From Articles to Constitution simulation, where they act as delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention. Through AI-guided role-play, they’ll experience the tension, negotiation, and compromise that shaped the U.S. Constitution firsthand.
Once they’ve completed the simulation, students choose how to demonstrate their understanding from three creative project options:
What If Scenario: Write an alternate-history short story imagining what might have happened if the Constitutional Compromises had failed.
Recorded Speech: Deliver a persuasive address as a delegate arguing your stance on key debates like representation or federal power.
Political Cartoon: Create a cartoon that humorously captures the tension, satire, or stakes of the Constitutional debates.
Each submission is scored using the detailed, four-part “Striking a Deal” Rubric, which assesses historical understanding, perspective, analysis, and reflection
Want to save even more time (and maybe your Sunday afternoon)? Add the AI Grading Assistant Setup Guide, which gives you everything you need to build your own custom grading assistant in the language model of your choice — whether that’s ChatGPT, Gemini, or another platform. The guide walks you step-by-step through setup, scoring alignment, and rubric integration so your AI grader evaluates student work quickly, fairly, and accurately. It’s like having a dependable co-teacher who handles the stack of submissions while you focus on the good stuff — teaching, feedback, and coffee that’s still warm.
