The curriculum, available from this web site, helps middle school staff involve students in discussions, activities related to the CD ROM game. This program is designed to cover three class periods but students will benefit from involvement over a shorter period of time. Staff should feel free to pick and choose discussion topics and activities that best fit their students and school schedule. (See other ways to use the game.)

To use the three class period structure follow that link below. To browse all the discussions and activities, independent of the three class period structure, follow the pick and choose link below. In either case, we ask that you require each participating student to complete a pre and post survey so that we are able to determine how effective the program is and make improvements.

If your school supports interdisciplinary teaching units you can involve the visual arts or language arts teachers in this program. At this time the Market a Poison activity is set up as an interdisciplinary project. Soon other activities will have components designed for the language and visual arts curricula. Content created by students in these classes may be submitted to us for inclusion in our next version of the CD ROM game. The student author, class and school will be credited for each included work. Student authors will also receive complementary copies of the CD ROM for their portfolios. Contact us for more details.

We are anxious to hear how the program worked in your school and we look forward to adapting the program design and content of both the Web site and CD ROM game to better meet the needs of your students and staff. To do this we need your feedback. Please contact us with your comments, recommendations or if you experience any difficulties with the game or curriculum.
