Intervention: Simulating the War on Global Terrorism
Steinbrink, John E.; Helmer, Joel W.
Journal of Geography, v103 n6 p239-248 2004
Students analyze a contemporary geopolitical event from a comprehensive geographic perspective using role play simulation, discussion, and decision-making. The three-day activity provides teachers with a realistic, ready-made classroom lesson that combines powerful conceptual learning with drama and surprise. The task of the teacher is to transform the map into a transparency and review the teacher background and student background information section. During the capstone Socratic seminar, students generate their own geographic concepts and principles inductively.
