Can You Beat Churchill?
View through CrossRef
This chapter concludes with a brief excursion into a key factor that makes simulations exciting: the students' drives to see if they can “do better” than their historical counterparts. It seeks to understand why students are attracted to simulations in the classroom. The chapter then mentions the author's simulation Rivalries, in which the student representing William Churchill faces truly daunting challenges. The chapter highlights questions like: Can you, as Galileo, persuade the Catholic Church to adopt some of your ideas? Can you, as Marlowe, become more famous than Shakespeare as the best playwright of Elizabethan theater? Can you, as Churchill, save not just Britain but the British Empire? Can you, in short, beat Churchill?
