1. Choose 1 noun, 1 verb and 1 adjective that you see

2. Game Time! Each of you have been given a token
You are going to have the opportunity to compete for more tokens
We will be playing Rock, Paper, Scissors
You MUST follow the rules:
Two opponents face off and slowly pump their fists, counting “1, 2,3”
AFTER you say “3”, you turn your fist into one of three possibilities:
Fist = ROCK
Flat = PAPER
Sideways V = SCISSORS
Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper, paper beats rock

3. Winner takes one token from the loser
Loser returns to his/her seat and begins answering questions on the board
Students can complete as long as they have at least one token
Winners will pair off and compete against each other
Let’s do a couple of practice rounds to be sure you understand it
Ok, BEGIN!

5. Who is this man?

6. Karl Marx: Born in Germany in 1818, he was a philosopher of economics
Marx witnessed the uncontrolled capitalism of the IR
Marx argued that profit driven capitalism resulted in a class struggle between the rich and the poor or working classes
Said that such class warfare would result in a workers’ revolt; an uprising against the wealthy
Wrote the Communist Manifesto in which he laid out his plan for a new economic system, Socialism.
In Socialism, resources are equally distributed by the government for the benefit of all.
Eventually, there would be no need for government, all would share for the common good: Communism: a system in which there’s a classless society with no gov’t
