La tua missione: Interroga Cesare sulla vita quotidiana a Roma, sui suoi soldati e sulle sue vittorie. Il dittatore ti risponderà basandosi rigorosamente su fatti ed eventi confermati dagli storici.
Cesare amava documentare personalmente le proprie imprese militari in resoconti accurati come i Commentarii:
Commentarii de Bello Gallico: il resoconto originale delle campagne in Gallia scritto dallo stesso Cesare.

Rubric
Students see this rubric before they start. Humy scores the conversation against it and writes feedback for each criterion.
Valutazione delle competenze storiche e di conduzione dell'intervista (Classe 5ª Primaria)
Istruzioni per il docente: La valutazione si concentra esclusivamente sull'operato dell'alunno (domande formulate, rilanci, analisi critica e confronto con le fonti storiche), non sulle risposte generate dal personaggio virtuale.
| Criterio | Avanzato (4 pt) | Competente (3 pt) | In Sviluppo (2 pt) | Iniziale (1 pt) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Conduzione del Dialogo e Rilancio Interazione viva, ascolto attivo e sviluppo della conversazione. | Dialogo continuo su più turni con rilanci precisi e verifica delle affermazioni. | Sviluppa una conversazione coerente collegando diverse domande alle risposte di Cesare. | Pone domande isolate mostrando un ascolto limitato delle parole del personaggio. | Incolpa una lista preparata senza interagire realmente con le risposte fornite. |
| 2. Istituzioni e Vita Quotidiana Indagine sulla società romana, il Senato e la Repubblica. | Interroga Cesare approfondendo vita sociale, popolo romano e cariche della Repubblica. | Formula domande pertinenti sulla vita a Roma e sul ruolo delle istituzioni. | Tratta la società romana in modo generico e poco approfondito. | Domande superficiali o del tutto estranee alla società e politica romana. |
| 3. Imprese Militari ed Esercito Campagne in Gallia, soldati, battaglie e Rubicone. | Esplora con precisione la vita dei soldati, grandi vittorie e Rubicone. | Pone buone domande su battaglie e vita militare dei legionari romani. | Nomina campagne o soldati senza approfondire fatti storici e strategie. | Accenna appena alle battaglie senza riferimenti storici corretti o completi. |
| 4. Confronto Storico con le Fonti Uso critico dei Commentarii e rigore delle informazioni. | Verifica criticamente le affermazioni di Cesare richiamando fonti e resoconti storici. | Chiede conferma a Cesare basandosi su testimonianze o fatti storici studiati. | Accetta ogni risposta senza mai chiedere conferme o citare le fonti. | Nessun tentativo di verificare o confrontare storicamente le risposte ricevute. |

Been using Humy in his classroom since 2024
“My students say it’s a welcome change of pace. I’m not a fan of the “sage on the stage” model, so I try to incorporate research-oriented and self-paced activities. With Humy, students have to take charge of their learning. They’ve become more adept at critical thinking, forming better questions, and improving their reading comprehension. The interview feature has been my go-to tool. I create assignments where students must ask historical figures a set number of questions, then summarize the responses to ensure they’re truly absorbing the material. This approach lets them actively explore the past rather than passively consuming information.”

“Humy has helped me bring historical figures, sometimes long past, to life. When my students interact with these figures in real-time, it eliminates some of the perceived “ancient” characteristics of my curriculum. This has shifted my students’ thinking away from viewing history as abstract or irrelevant. Real-time interactions make historical figures relatable, even allowing students to ask off-topic questions that help put historical lives in a more relevant context for 13-year-olds. The feature I use the most is the interview feature. After teaching a topic, most recently Gandhi and Joan of Arc, I have the students ask pointed, focused questions. We practice good conversation techniques beforehand, teaching them to listen (or read) carefully and formulate thoughtful follow-up questions rather than just interrogating. It helps students practice effective conversation skills.”
