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. Goals are set for individuals, as well as for the groups with which they work. The goal setting in conjunction with the competition with the other groups keep the students very involved in the learning.
