More Description
Classroom role-playing simulations bring the drama of politics to life and enrich
traditional learning by plunging students into the midst of historical or current
events. Ben-Yehuda gives students and instructors the resources and confidence
to embark on a careful enactment of scenarios that will inspire enthusiasm in
participants and stick in the memory long after the curtain falls. The book includes
in-depth discussions of three possible theatrical simulations: appeasement in
1938 Munich, the regional turmoil following the 1947 UN Palestine Partition
decision, and the Syrian civil war and ongoing global confrontation with ISIS. It
is appropriate for students in global studies courses at all levels.
