Cast a Vote: Should We Enter the War of 1812
I've been exploring the use of games in the classroom. This website is cool. In a short, 90 minute period, students learn multiple perspectives of people living in the United States in 1812. After analyzing their different viewpoints, they debate, in small groups, whether or not the United States should enter the war. I'm always up for an interactive activity that gets my students considering many different ways of thinking about issues. I don't think this will come up for next year when we explore world history, but just for fun, some students might like to explore it.
