Create a classroom situation where students are exposed to a potential problem. What occurs after the exposure will lead into an investigation of the "problem".
 * Dramatic Scenarios**


 * Supply and Demand: Create a situation where you run out of something..i.e. cookies, pencils, paper..then wait for the response between the "haves and the have nots".
 * Enlist the principal to "role play" a scenario having to do with your lesson. Let kids respond to the actions or inactions of the principal.
