This is our unit on Governance, Citizenship, Despotism, Anarchy, and Dictatorship through MinecraftEDU. This whole unit allows children to experience what each type of government means to different people, be able to reflect on how it affects trade and the knock-on effects of such things as taxation and embargoes.

The unit also allows children to learn, through role play and within a digital world, what rules actually mean for the real world about them. Is it fair? Is a key question that children have to answer; should change be enforced in our lives? Children understand what this means through the need to trade with other Biomes in they are given as part of a team.

Dictatorship is around the corner. How would you fare?
