Simulations are creative, complete units of instruction that incorporate traditionally taught material into a simulated environment in the classroom - anything from a constitutional convention, to turn-of-the-century Ellis Island, to establishing an undersea habitat . Students are organized into small groups and role-play either actual persons or characterizations of persons in history...or in social, economic, or political situations of today...or explorations of their place in the future.
