About the Course

Interact with the news and become more aware while developing global competence. By combining fantasy football, geography, economics, history, and sociology, Fantasy Geopolitics engages students in drafting countries from around the world. Teams earn points based on how often their drafted countries are mentioned in current news from the New York Times. Students can trade, add, and drop countries, becoming managers of their learning as they read the news and adjust their lineups.

Only available to students in 6th grade
