Instructional Ideas

  • Get your administrators involved by asking them to play two of the key roles in the simulation
  • Assign the background document as homework so pupils are prepared in advance of the role-playing exercise

Classroom Considerations

  • Check out a computer cart with printers to facilitate the lesson

Pros

  • Using role play creates a deeper sense of understanding of both past and current events in Cambodia
  • Background information for each character is well-written and helpful to the student portraying them
