Can You Beat Churchill? -- Appendix: Finding Historical Simulations -- Notes -- IndexHow do you get students to engage in a historical episode or era? How do you bring the immediacy and contingency of history to life? Michael A. Barnhart shares the secret to his award-winning success in the classroom with 'Can You Beat Churchill?', which encourages role-playing for immersive teaching and learning. Combating the declining enrollment in humanities classes, this innovative approach reminds us how critical learning skills are transmitted to students: by reactivating their curiosity and problem-solving abilities. Barnhart provides advice and procedures, both for the use of off-the-shelf commercial simulations and for the instructor who wishes to custom design a simulation from scratch. These reenactments allow students to step into the past, requiring them to think and act in ways historical figures might have.Cornell scholarship online.Simulation games in educationRole playingHistoryStudy and teaching (Secondary)Simulation methodsHistoryStudy and teaching (Higher)Simulation methodsSimulation games in education.Role playing.HistoryStudy and teaching (Secondary)Simulation methods.HistoryStudy and teaching (Higher)Simulation methods.371.397Barnhart Michael A.1951-1504808StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910795612603321Can you beat Churchill3734031UNINA
