Never heard of RTTP? In a Reacting game, students are assigned specific historical characters in a specific historical context. The goal is NOT to recreate history, but to explore the ways in which historical figures were real human beings making real decisions with real consequences. Through a series of speeches and role-playing actions, students attempt to persuade each other to support their side of a historical debate.
