Title: Role-Playing Simulations
Subtitle: US History: High School-Reconstruction to 20th Century
Description: This book is an exciting collection of role-playing
simulations for Social Studies classrooms.
Eleven open-ended simulations involve students
in reenacting certain world-changing events from
Reconstruction to the twentieth century.
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 US History, some of them would
work equally well in other social studies classes.
All of these simulations will work in classes ranging
from junior high to high school and at ability levels
ranging from sheltered classes to honors.
