Title: ROLE-PLAYING SIMULATIONS Middle School U.S. History—Exploration to Civil War
Description: This book is an exciting collection of role-playing 
simulations for Social Studies classrooms. 
Sixteen open-ended simulations involve students in events 
from colonial times up through the Civil War.  
Students are actively engaged in assuming the roles of 
decision makers at crucial junctures in history, using critical 
thinking and group decision-making skills to resolve 
conflicts. Although most of the simulations are written for 
upper elementary or middle school US History students, 
some of them would work equally as well in high school 
classes. All of these simulations have been developed for 
ability levels ranging from sheltered classes to honors.
