Prompt
For [HISTORICAL TOPIC], [SOURCE EXCERPTS], and [AGE GROUP], design a short role-play with two fictional composite viewpoints. Provide source cards, a 10-minute discussion sequence, and a debrief table separating documented facts, reasonable inference, and invented dialogue. Do not put fake quotations in a real person's mouth or claim to recreate private motives. Check that each factual claim points to a supplied excerpt and that students can identify the limits of the exercise.
