From the page to the classroom
Picture the material in use.
Read the teacher guide through once before your first presentation. Print the card set on cardstock and cut. Store the reference cards, power-structure diagrams, and scenario cards in three separate labeled containers on the shelf; keep the key card apart so it serves as a control rather than a temptation. A globe or world map nearby invites students to find the notable countries as they go.
