Receiving and Discovering Information: Two Role-Playing Simulations of the World War I Conscription Crisis.

MacFarlane, John

Canadian Social Studies, v33 n2 p52-53 Win 1999

Proposes two approaches to using role-playing in the history classroom: (1) providing factual information to the students; and (2) allowing them to discover the experiences of historical actors. Expounds that the recommended role-playing simulations help students discover why Canadians were divided over the conscription issue in World War I. (CMK)
