Grades: 5 - 10
Item #:NTS415510 Weight (lbs):5.34
The decline of European imperialism in the 20th century welcomed scores of new nations into the world. The end of the Cold War has spawned a new wave of nationalism. In Africa alone more than 40 nations have declared independence since 1960. Decisions, Decisions: Building a Nation puts students in control as a new nation emerges from colonial rule.
Students role-play the leader of a newly independent country faced with many difficult issues. What kind of government will they establish? How will they relate to the former colonial power? How will they stimulate the economy? How will authority and resources be shared among different groups? The fundamentals of government and nationhood come alive. Decisions, Decisions: Building a Nation is great for world history units on Africa or the post-colonial world. Or use it when you're teaching the basics of government and economics.
