CREATE · Production follows the historical decisions

• Check the evidence. Generative AI produces text, images and other media from learned patterns. A convincing result can still contain invented details or stereotypes.
• You remain the judge. Ask: What is missing? Which source supports this? Correct or remove details you cannot defend.
• Give clear instructions. Start with your checked draft, sources and constraints. Test one scene or panel, then save the successful steps as a reusable recipe or skill.
• Use resources thoughtfully. AI uses energy and computing resources. Prepare prompts, agree a limit on retries and consider a simpler format before generating more video.

• Confirm that each group has a corrected DRAFT and its evidence available.
• Offer only formats that can be supported with the class’s time, materials and access.
• Set a manageable length and visible finishing point for every allowed format.
• Ask each group: “Why does this format work for your story?” One sentence is enough.

Do not repeat the planning lesson. The historical interpretation comes first; production follows it. A polished output is optional. Traceable historical reasoning is not.

The existing student pages contain the full format-specific recipes, prompts and production timings. Use them selectively rather than teaching all three. These routes may use an evidence-based portrait and AI production tools, but the initial machine’s guess from FIND is not a production reference.

• Reel · approximately 4 hours
• Comic · approximately 2 hours 15 minutes
• Game / simulation · approximately 2 hours 30 minutes

Their older labels ESTABLISHED / INFERRED / UNKNOWN correspond to WE KNOW / WE THINK / WE DON’T KNOW. Require groups to return to CHECK/DRAFT evidence when a prompt or generated output adds detail.

Outcome: A written or illustrated narrative, poster, live reading or recorded audio, submitted with the DRAFT sheet.

These are variants of one route, not extra numbered pathways. Paper, pens and a live reading are enough. Recorded audio can use an ordinary recorder. Allow roughly five minutes to choose, then use the production time available.

1. CHOOSE. Students explain why the format serves the story.
2. MAKE. They write, draw, present or record with the DRAFT and sources beside the work.
3. LOW AI, IF USED. Limit support to shortening, translation, subtitles or editing. Check changes of meaning and unsupported additions.
4. FINISH. Collect product and DRAFT together: one shows what was made, the other how students reasoned.

This route requires no image generation, reference portrait or automation step. Its tool reflection happens in REFLECT.

Use short check-ins: What claim are you communicating? Which evidence supports this new detail? What remains unknown? Has translation, editing or visual generation changed the meaning?

If more time is needed, finishing may happen at home or in a later lesson only when you assign it. Keep historical decisions in class; finishing time is not permission to rewrite the argument without checking the evidence.
