Use of games, online resources, in-class activities. No long writing please. Teaching syllables, types of rhyming, types of poetry and some children’s poets.

How to make Marxism interesting when teaching high school?

>;-;< asked:


For a pedagogy class, I need to write a lesson on Marxism. However, I’m drawing a blank on ways to teach it that would make it interesting. Time is a big issue too; hypothetically, I’m teaching this in one class period.

I would like to do some type of exercise where the students imagine themselves as from different classes (economic classes), but this seems like it would take too long.

Anyone have any ideas for a quick, informative, interesting way to teach Marxism to high schoolers?

Thanks.
