How I Use It
As mentioned above I found using this program as a supplement to having students learning about slavery very beneficial.
Students get to experience the life of a slave which they might not be able to connect to by just reading about it.
My Take
Having previously used Mission US: For Crown and Country in the classroom, I was quite excited when they released this latest version.
I find by having students playing a character in the game they really learn how decisions they make as a slave have consequences related to their actions.
The supplemental teacher and classroom materials further enhance student learning.
