European Imperialism In Asia & Africa Simulation Activity
Key Objectives of the Activity:
A. Understand the inter-relationship between: industrial production, natural resources and markets. (Why Imperialism happened)
B. Understand the general geography of Africa.
C. Understand how the advancement of technology impacted colonies and parent countries.
This Imperialism Map Activity begins with 8 groups representing European Countries. At the start, each country has natural resources and industrial production that are equal in size. Groups have the option of spending their national income on research and development to increase their industrial production, their military for military conquest in Africa or they may save some income for a later turn. As each country makes their moves, students are watching and learning from each other. As Industrial production grows, income will only grow if markets and natural resources grow at the same rate.
This simulation is now Online Ready!
World War 2 Simulation Activity for middle and high school students. This interactive World War 2 Lesson Plan is easy to set up and customize based on your class’s size. Students are assigned roles as leaders or foreign ministers of 18 countries involved in World War II (which can be combined for smaller class sizes). Students then begin by learning about the causes and background of The Second World War in the World Situation Summary. Leaders and foreign ministers begin meeting with other countries: forming alliances, negotiating deals and plotting strategy for war. The first day, 1939, the aggressor nations move quickly to capture the vital natural resources their countries lack: Iron Ore, Coal, Oil, Rubber. Guided by their objectives, students engage in diplomacy, negotiation and problem solving.
The “magic” behind this World War 2 Lesson Plan is that students become emotionally involved with their countries and competitive about achieving their countries’ objectives. This World War 2 Simulation is a collection of Microsoft Word and Excel documents. The documents are organized in binders, for students and used in combination with the Asian and European War Maps on your projector to bring World War Two to life in your classroom! Now with Common Core Reports! This unit can be repeated each year and will be among your most popular lessons plans of the school year.

Stalin's Balance Sheet
As the leader of the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin industrialized one of the largest and least industrialized countries in Europe, which probably saved the world from Nazi domination. The people of the Soviet Union paid a horrific price for this as any opposition was crushed. Stalin was one of the most ruthless and paranoid leaders in all of World History. In this history lesson, students will research Stalin's actions, analyze the outcomes and develop the positive and negatives of each. In doing that, students will come to realize how people in the Soviet Union saw him both as a monster and a hero.
"Trench Warfare", "No Man's Land" these may seem like boring vocabulary words to most students, but they'll mean something more to your students as they face the daunting task of trying to brake the stalemate on the Western Front. Students will problem solve and strategize as to how to break through each others lines. In the end, they'll realize that the Western Front punished the side on the offensive. Sending waves of men into blistering machine gun fire was pure insanity.
