I am a huge fan of simulations. I recently discovered Arugment Wars, a simulation from iCivics, and I think it is perfect for middle school students. Students can argue their case, learn about their rights as students, and earn points for valid arguments. I think it would be a fantastic complement to any middle school social studies class! Enjoy!

I agree! This is a fun game that middle school teachers could use either to introduce a topic or to follow up on one to reinforce concepts. I had never seen anything like this before.
