MONOPOLY MEN: Students in Beth Johnson's "Secondary Cuuriculum & Instruction" and "Elementary Curriculum & Instruction" classes dressed as "monopoly men" May 31. The students used the concept of "monopoly" within the context of the Enlightenment and Romantic eras in western civilization. Students created game shows, talk shows, reality TV, soap operas, infomericals and rap songs to bring the lessons to life.
