Hey fellas

I'm studying to become a teacher, and an assingment i have right now is to design a lesson about socialism vs capitalism. I myself am very anti capitalist, but as a teacher i have to remain neutral during the lesson itself (which of course doesn't mean I can't speak about the clear faults in capitalism).

I was just thinking about interactive (and maybe playfull) ways to teach about socialism and capitalism to students, and hoping you bears had some creative ideas :). It is important I let the students draw their own conclusions, and that they don't follow my line of thinking. In other words, i'm not going to indoctrinate them.

If there is anything that pops into your mind, let me know!

Thanks in advance!

Edit: spoke to my tutor, he said I don't need to remain neutral. So it's just about teaching 16 year olds about socialism in a creative way. Thanks again!

      Yeah that's my struggle too. There's no way I can remain neutral on a topic like this, but I have to at least pretend I am. The great irony is that the class I'm expected to teach is moral philosophy too, and capitalism is in no way morally defensible.

      Edit: just spoke to my tutor. I don't need to be all neutral, especially when pointing out the faults in capitalism. Now it's just searching for interactive and creative ways to teach students about it.
