Nation Building and the Origin of Government, Period 5, Class 9, Thursday, 3-10
Class today was meeting in the computer lab.
"Okay," Alex said. "I apologize, first of all. We're taking a brief hiatus from the syllabus and typical class matters, this week. Class will return next week in its full discussion glory."
She held up a box. "This week, we're playing a computer game. One that starts you as the leader of a very small civilization -- just a few settlers in a town -- and asks you to conquer the world, all the while making decisions about what technologies you would like to pursue and how best to keep your citizens happy."
"So." She nodded at them. "You'll encounter some of the pitfalls we've discussed here, and hopefully that means you'll learn something. Shall we?"

Re: Play the Game - NAT09
Things went somewhat better after that.
