Sharecropping and Tenant Farming Simulation Game
In this lesson, students are divided into sharecroppers and tenant farmers. Each round, they have to choose a crop to plant which is dependent on market forces and the weather. If they choose well, they'll do well even after paying their dues to their landlords and living expenses. But for most, the system will prove to be toil and sweat for not much. Great way to teach a failure of Reconstruction.

Each students gets one line/action and must perform it on their turn. Assign a different line every time you do this activity.
I found this to be THE MOST popular activity of the unit. It feels like a game to the students, but what it really ends up being is a constant review of the War and its chronological events
