Michael A. Barnhart shares the secret to his award-winning success in the classroom with \u003ci\u003eCan You Beat Churchill?\u003c\/i\u003e, which encourages role-playing for immersive teaching and learning. Combating the declining enrollment in humanities classes, this innovative approach reminds us how critical learning skills are transmitted to students: by reactivating their curiosity and problem-solving abilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarnhart provides advice and procedures, both for the use of off-the-shelf commercial simulations and for the instructor who wishes to custom design a simulation from scratch. These reenactments allow students to step into the past, requiring them to think and act in ways historical figures might have. Students must make crucial or dramatic decisions, though these decisions need not align with the historical record. In doing so, they learn, through action and strategic consideration, the impact of real individuals and groups of people on the course of history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a quiet revolution underway in how history is taught to undergraduates. \u003ci\u003eCan You Beat Churchill?\u003c\/i\u003e hopes to make it a noisy one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14078951\"\u003eMichael A.
