Reacting to the Past is an active-learning pedagogy of complex role-playing games first developed by Mark Carnes of Barnard College. Reacting promotes engagement with big ideas, and improves critical, practical, intellectual, and academic skills – key outcomes for any successful Honors class. This workshop will highlight some of the ways Reacting works well in an Honors setting as well as provide an opportunity to play one of the “short games” in the Reacting library.
