Nicely done! I added a quick request of them to connect their concerns and solutions to the ideas of Hobbes, Locke, or Rousseau (after we'd done a minilesson or two on each). Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this wonderful
Thanks for this wonderful lesson. I am an English teacher in South Korea. I wanna do something thought provoking lessons like this using English as a tool. I think I can connect this lesson to Karl Marx and a Korean Scholar Dasan.
Thank you again..
