The assignment

Quando un leader promette di risolvere una crisi istituzionale, come distinguere una riforma necessaria da una concentrazione di potere? Rivolgi questa domanda a Giulio Cesare.

MISSIONE — Scopri quali problemi Cesare intendeva affrontare con le sue riforme e valuta chi ne beneficiò, chi vi si oppose e quali conseguenze ebbero per la Repubblica.

Il contesto e la fonte

Dopo la guerra civile contro Pompeo, Cesare intervenne sul calendario, sulla distribuzione delle terre e sulla composizione del Senato. Nel 44 a.C. assunse la dittatura perpetua. Osserva questo denario, coniato da Bruto dopo la sua uccisione: la moneta esprime una prospettiva politica, non un resoconto neutrale.

Denario di Bruto (42 a.C.): pileo e pugnali presentano l’assassinio di Cesare come liberazione.

La tua intervista

Formula domande aperte su obiettivi, opposizioni e risultati delle riforme. Chiedi a Cesare di motivare le sue scelte; confronta poi le risposte con la moneta, distinguendo fatti, interpretazioni e propaganda. Concludi con un giudizio argomentato sul rapporto tra riforme e crisi repubblicana.

Valutazione AP · 5 criteri · Massimo: 20 punti. Si valuta il lavoro dello studente, mai la qualità delle risposte dell’IA.

1. Indagine sulle riforme

  • Eccellente — 4 punti: Domande aperte su calendario, terre, Senato e dittatura indagano obiettivi, opposizioni, risultati.
  • Solido — 3 punti: Domande aperte indagano obiettivi, opposizioni e risultati, ma tralasciano un intervento.
  • Parziale — 1 punto: Domande generiche trattano alcune riforme senza esplorarne opposizioni o risultati.
  • Assente — 0 punti: Non pone domande pertinenti sulle riforme.

2. Motivazioni e interessi

  • Eccellente — 4 punti: Chiede giustificazioni, identifica beneficiari e confronta interessi di gruppi contrapposti.
  • Solido — 3 punti: Chiede giustificazioni e beneficiari, ma approfondisce poco gli interessi contrapposti.
  • Parziale — 1 punto: Chiede motivazioni oppure beneficiari, senza approfondire le risposte.
  • Assente — 0 punti: Non indaga motivazioni né beneficiari.

3. Dialogo e verifica

  • Parziale — 1 punto: Pone pochi rilanci oppure invia domande preparate in uno o due messaggi.
  • Assente — 0 punti: Non interagisce con le risposte della figura.

4. Confronto con il denario

  • Eccellente — 4 punti: Confronta risposte e moneta, distinguendo fatti, interpretazioni e propaganda della prospettiva di Bruto.

  • Parziale — 1 punto: Cita la moneta senza confrontarla criticamente con le risposte.
  • Assente — 0 punti: Non utilizza il denario nell’indagine.

5. Giudizio storico conclusivo

  • Eccellente — 4 punti: Argomenta il rapporto riforme-crisi con prove vagliate e prospettive contrapposte.

What educators are saying

“We enjoyed the program last year and used it frequently.”
“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.”
