Abstract:

What makes a town live? The answer to that question is complex. But researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, by applying a new teaching technique--dramatic play, have demonstrated that second-grade students can understand community interactions such as those based in a municipality. The children learned how a town operates by building their own town and acting out the occupations needed to keep the town running.
