WWII and the Atomic Bomb-- It put you in Truman's shoes and you go through some of the material that he had to look at when trying to decide how to end the war in the Pacific. It looks at your decision and talks about why the bomb was used and how people felt about it. I think it would bring in those hands on kids who do not like sitting in front of a text book. It puts you in the moment, you have questions to answer in the "President's Diary" and then final decision to make.

 

The Boston Massacre-- you have the chance to review the statements of jurors in the case and you have a journal in which to keep the answers to the questions that are posed. You are then able to make a decision about guilt or innocence.

 

The impeachment of Andrew Johnson-- it gives information about a topic that gets only mentioned in text books. You are a Senator at the time and have to hear the case against President Johnson and make a choice whether or not to impeach him.
