The Story of the Land of Horner It is the year 2010 and you live in the land of Horner. It is mostly a peaceful land where everyone minds their own business. There is turmoil brewing however, what once was a small country has grown to include many regions. Each region wants and needs different things to survive and be content in the land of Horner. Some regions are poor and have simple demands; some regions are rich and powerful and have grand designs for power. To solve their problems, and meet the different regions’ demands, they have come together for the first time to make some decisions about their country.

The Story of the Land of Horner Get into groups of three Each region has a list of demands I will need one person from the class to be the note taker on the board As a class decide how every regions’ demands can be met Each group should state their demands Then the class should decide how to make the decisions

How’d It Go? On a piece of paper (to turn in) answer the following questions: What went wrong? Isn’t this a democracy? Why didn’t it work? Why couldn’t the class solve the problems? How could we fix this?

Let’s Try Again Each group choose some one to represent their interests Choose a person who is willing to speak and is trustworthy Group of Representatives please come and get your orientation packet Read your packet and then join the other representatives at the representative table. Do not share your packet with others. As a group of Representatives please decide how each regions’ needs can be met.

ATTACK! Oh no! While the senators have been squabbling the Land of Horner has been attacked by Nelsonsilvania! The regions of Horner are unprepared and unprotected for such an invasion. They have no military or military leader to help save them from the devastation that ensues. All they have is a corrupt group of officials who have been too busy with all the affairs of the land to look to the protection of it.

How’d It Go? What went wrong? Was the Senate representing your interests? Why couldn’t the Senate defend you from the invasion? How do we fix it?
