Don't just ask your class to define nationalism, but invite them to experience it with an engaging project. Learners are divided into groups to design four items—a flag, slogan, national anthem, and historical tale—for a fictional country they are assigned. They will be given background information for the fictional country, and will then share their work in a group presentation that illustrates their newfound strong sense of nationalism!
