Welcome to Simulations: Contemporary History in Action
Step into history and experience it like never before! In this engaging and immersive class, students will explore the major events that have shaped the world from the post-Watergate era to the present day. Through a creative blend of simulations, role-playing, and historical inquiry, we’ll bring contemporary history to life—transforming students from passive learners into active participants in the unfolding story of our times.
Guided by Master Jon and The Frizz, students will dive into pivotal moments such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Iran hostage crisis, the Reagan Revolution, 9/11, the Gulf and Iraq Wars, presidential elections, landmark Supreme Court cases, and key social movements. Each simulation will provide a dynamic opportunity to understand the people, pressures, and decisions that shaped the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Students will:
Take on roles of historical figures, leaders, and everyday citizens
Collaborate in mock negotiations, debates, and crisis responses
Conduct historical research to support strategic decision-making
Reflect on the social, political, and cultural impacts of each era
As students complete each simulation, they will earn collectible pins representing their journey through modern history—tangible tokens of their knowledge and participation.
Join us for a powerful and unforgettable exploration of contemporary history. Because—as Dr. Adler reminds us—
“What is memorized is easily forgotten; what is understood is never forgotten.”
