IDEOLOGY GAME/ROLE PLAY/EVALUATIVE WRITING FOR EXAMINATION PRACTICE.
This resource focuses on explaining capitalism and communism through role play. Students are each given a character from either 1945 USSR or USA with information about their situation. They have to interview each other and record their results on a grid. They then use the grid to write an extended piece of evaluative writing - structure included to help students who require support. I have found this very useful to help students understand from the perspective of others in a fun way.
The resource contains a short Power Point with instructions; colour-coded differentiated characters; and a grid to record findings.
