No rules would be awesome! Why do we need a government? This fun lesson challenges students to experience why governments are necessary. The activities are engaging for students and the guided, 5-E format is easy for you to use! Fill-in notes accompany the lesson. Your class imagines they are trapped on a deserted island and must create a plan for organizing their new society. The challenges they experience firsthand make them clearly understand the difficulties faced when forming an effective government. Evaluate their learning with a “Big Ideas” summative worksheet. My students always love this activity! Everything you need is included!
