http://www.civitas-stl.com/ KSDK (St. Louis's Channel 5) ran a news story on our January 17, 2009, Carefully Getting out of Iraq Simulation. Pretty much we got together with about 20 high school students, assigned them roles (like President Obama, Prime Minister of Iraq, Secretary of Defense, Jon Stewart...) and encouraged them to talk about the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. It wasn't easy role-playing though. Civitas staff had a list of "curve balls" that the students were supposed to respond to.
Terrific description of creative idea.
