Enhance students' understanding of historical events and practice English language skills by using AI to create alternative histories. In this activity, students will explore how changing one event in history could lead to different outcomes. They will start by choosing a historical event from a provided list, such as "What if Hannibal had conquered Rome?" or "What if the Library of Alexandria had never been destroyed?" 

Students will then use AI to generate a brief description of the chosen event, ensuring the language is at a B1 level according to the CEFR. After understanding the original event, students will ask AI to create an alternative version of the history. They will summarize this alternative history in their own words, making sure it is concise and clear.

Next, students will prepare a 5-minute presentation. In their presentations, they should briefly explain the original historical event and then describe the alternative history scenario, discussing potential impacts and changes. They should not read directly from the AI-generated text but use it as a reference. Students are encouraged to use visuals or slides to make their presentations more engaging.

This activity fosters creativity and critical thinking, helping students understand history better while practicing their English language skills.
