I believe this site to be innovative for use in the social sciences. One
student from the social science methods class at NSU led my AP European History
class in theater games. The college student was successful in motivating the
students to develop conflict and resolution in their improvisations. In one 85
minute block, the future teacher had success and the students thrived on the
theater games. Theatre games can be used to introduce a unit, review a unit, or
just for fun! Thumbs up!!

at the University. I was able to grasp the students attention and hold it the
entire 85 minutes. This approach gives students the ability to face important
issues throught history, and other content areas for that matter, in thier own
manner.
Technical Remarks:
