Visions & Pursuits In class Activity GET CREATIVE
Visions & Pursuits In class Activity GET CREATIVE!!!! You will be creating 2 picto-words independently for 2 words of your choice. A picto-word is kind of like playing pictionary… You will have to create an illustration to show the meaning of your word. Break students into groups of 3-4 students. Have each group create a skit that would represent one of the systems of government (i.e. Unitary, Federal, and Confederate). After each skit, have the class discuss whether or not it was a “perfect” representation of their respective system of Gov’t. If not, have them explain why it wasn’t and what they could do to change it and make it a more accurate representation.
