A basis of terminology must be built in order to participate in the discourse of political theory. We focus on the question, "Is it possible to be both safe & free?" through the study of Enlightenment theory, contemporary democratic theory, American cultural ideals, systems of representation, types of policy and policy making institutions, and the concerns of the Founding Fathers in the process of ratifying the Constitution. Our simulation project was "San Francisco Apocalypse," where students had to grapple with the balance between freedom and safety, as policy makers in a role playing game.
San Francisco Apocalypse Premise
The assessment is an essay which shows knowledge of class content and application of that knowledge to the events of the simulation. This is also a diagnostic assessment of use of evidence in a an argument, and an opportunity for students to be metacognitive, and to further develop their own philosophies.
