			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Crossfire on the Floor”<br />
[Simulating a bicameral legislative session]</p>
<p>The “Crossfire on the Floor” simulation is one of the institute&#8217;s most exciting events. Delegates are expected to temporarily become and portray a current legislator, either as a senator or congressman. Experienced students ages 14-18 will be in the Senate while the House of Representatives will be comprised of less advanced students ages 12-16. All together there will be about 20 students in the Senate and 40 students in the House of Representatives, both houses writing and lobbying for bills; bills will then be taken to the other house and voted on. Participants will be introduced to all related scenario themes gradually as they work through the preparation materials.</p>
<p>Simulations are scenarios in which participants take on roles and experience life changing events. Participants will be expected to dress for their role, this may require costumes etc.; the SI staff will help each participant get into character. This Simulation will begin with a brief introduction from our fictional dignitary “Samuel Lewis” they will then precede into the scenario following the agenda outlined in the preparation materials. The participants will have prepared for at least one month before the event.</p>
<p>The staff at Simulations Institute will be on hand to assist participants and make sure they have a life-changing educational experience. The “Crossfire on the Floor” simulation lasts five days; Education is such that we receive rewards in proportion to our investments; this is especially true regarding simulations. Participants should begin preparing as soon as they receive their preparation materials. This simulation was designed for advanced students ages 12-18, though it may be very powerful at a future event for those with higher learning experience, exceptions may be made for younger students willing to pay the price for academic excellence.</p>
<p>Registration information may be obtained by e-mailing alevie@simulate.cc. This is a five day seminar students will experience humor, frustration, joy, debate, fun and rigorous work. Each student’s emotional buttons will be pushed at both ends of the spectrum; it is the nature of simulations. Though the SI staff will be on hand for support and encouragement, the simulation will be completely run by the students. Students having prepared ahead will realize simulations are more real and have greater impact when the students take full responsibility.  The simulation fee for “Crossfire on the Floor” is $250.00. Once registered, participants will receive a letter of invitation from the “dignitary” Samuel Lewis explaining the situation, objective and the history behind the scenario.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 2015 Eukipa, California experienced an earthquake. It was small, registering 1.5 on the Richter scale, no one was killed or even injured, in fact it didn’t even make the evening news. However, it set off a chain of devastating natural disasters. The earthquake in Eukipa triggered an 8.9 shake in Yellowstone, rippling the earth down the Rocky Mountain corridor, even producing volcanic activity in South America. The skies responded with acid-rainstorms resulting from the elements.</p>
<p>The death toll in North and South America was enormous, with both continents loosing just under a third of their populations. The rebuilding effort has been slow but strong and local governments have been organizing. A few individuals have been corresponding together about the benefit of a national government. Some, have been concerned about local protection from marauding groups. Other issues have also emerged such as how to fund the rebuilding. The new government would need to have a central and uniting purpose. It would then need to meet the needs of those represented. How could we avoid future discord? What guiding principles should govern our foreign relations? Should they be included in the constitutional document?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Dead Authors Society” simulation is designed to immerse participants in the world of writing; it presents a scenario which requires discussion and writing about substantive subject matter. Participants will emphasize with history as they meet with and temporarily become the great Authors of all time. It will be a unique and life-changing opportunity to witness personalities interact, who were separated by nearly two and one-half millennia.</p>
<p>This scenario is specifically designed to grapple with postmodernism. Participants will be introduced to all related scenario themes gradually as they work through the preparation materials.</p>
<p>Simulations are scenarios in which participants take on roles and experience life changing events. Participants will be expected to dress for their role, this may require costumes etc.; the SI staff will help each participant get into character. This Simulation will begin with a brief introduction from our fictional dignitary “Samuel Lewis” they will then precede into the scenario following the agenda outlined in the preparation materials. The participants will have prepared for a month before they come, each participant will then be prepared to represent his or her respective historical figure. There will be an objective which must be reached as a body.</p>
<p>The staff at Simulations Institute will be on hand to assist participants and make sure they have a life-changing educational experience. The “Dead Authors Society” simulation lasts two hours minimum; participants will be given 4 assignments involving reading, writing, and speaking. Education is such that we receive rewards equal to our investment; this is especially true regarding simulations. Participants should be able to prepare in approximately one month, utilizing a moderate amount of free-time. This simulation was designed for adults and experienced students ages fourteen and up, unless joined by a parent in the simulation. It will then be appropriate to allow those ages 12 and older to be participants. Though it may be very powerful for those with higher learning experience, exceptions may be made for younger students willing to pay the price for academic excellence.</p>
<p>Once registered, participants will receive a letter of invitation from the “dignitary” Samuel Lewis explaining the situation, the objective and the history behind the scenario.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In “Arizona v. Dr. Jekyll” participants not only experience the courtroom, but tackle a case based in classic literature. Substance abuse laws are used more and more as society manipulates chemicals to solve personal problems. Much of the consequential suffering is dealt with in the courtroom. Participants will feel the weight and responsibility as they take people’s lives into their own hands.</p>
<p>The results of this fictional case could reveal solutions for a country weighed down with illegal and prescription drug problems. As a participant you will feel the magic of the court room and the pressure that comes with it. Participants will be introduced to all related scenario themes gradually as they work through the preparation materials.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Participants will interact with “Chief Justice Marshall” as the case of “Gibbons v. Ogden” is resurrected and the course of history is altered by a simple ruling. Our Federal Government is, today, very engaged in our lives; this simulation will help you understand when federal intervention is valuable and provide a perspective for future understanding.</p>
<p>Where does the government have the right and duty to interfere with the affairs of the people? What is the jurisdiction of the highest court in the land? Where do the states draw the line limiting federal intervention, and how do they do it? You will ponder these questions as you experience one of the greatest Supreme Court cases of all time. Participants will be introduced to all related scenario themes gradually as they work through the preparation materials.</p>

This simulation was designed for adults and experienced students ages fourteen and older unless joined by a parent in the simulation. It will then be appropriate to allow those ages 12 and older to be participants. Though it may be very powerful for those with higher learning experience, exceptions may be made for younger students willing to pay the price for academic excellence.</p>
<p>Once registered, participants will receive a letter of invitation from the “dignitary” Samuel Lewis explaining the situation, the objective and the history behind the scenario.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The “Heritage of Birthright” simulation unveils the value and power of enduring family traditions. What is a birthright? When is it that families educate each other about the safeguards they value most? This simulation focuses on how to fuse families together through generations, during a scenario that will take participants places they have never been before. Participants will be introduced to all related scenario themes gradually as they work through the preparation materials.</p>
<p>Simulations are scenarios in which participants take on roles and experience life changing events. Participants will be expected to dress for their role, this may require costumes etc.; the SI staff will help each participant get into character. This Simulation will begin with a brief introduction from our fictional dignitary “Samuel Lewis” they will then precede into the scenario following the agenda outlined in the preparation materials. The participants will have prepared for a month before they come, each participant will then be prepared to represent his or her respective role. There will be an objective which must be reached as a body.</p>
<p>The staff at Simulations Institute will be on hand to assist participants and make sure they have a life-changing educational experience. The “Heritage of Birthright” simulation lasts two hours minimum; participants will be given 4 assignments involving reading, writing, and speaking. Education is such that we receive rewards equal to our investment; this is especially true regarding simulations. Participants should be able to prepare in approximately one month, utilizing a moderate amount of free-time. This simulation was designed for parents and a child ages ten and up; many times their first born child. Each participant will be expected to engage fully toward the simulation objective.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The “In Living Color” simulation is designed to immerse participants in the world of writing; it presents a scenario which requires discussion and writing about substantive subject matter. In this scenario a group of talented writers have discovered a startling trend. Participants will take on the roles of living authors, tackle a complex objective and learn to work together. They will discover new personal skills and realize their personal situation and potential.</p>
<p>This scenario is specifically designed to grapple with postmodernism; the current and popular ideology sweeping our country. Participants will be introduced to all related scenario themes gradually as they work through the preparation materials.</p>
<p>Simulations are scenarios in which participants take on roles and experience life changing events. Participants will be expected to dress for their role, this may require costumes etc.; the SI staff will help each participant get into character. This Simulation will begin with a brief introduction from our fictional dignitary “Samuel Lewis” they will then precede into the scenario following the agenda outlined in the preparation materials.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the last one hundred and fifty years the fight for women’s suffrage has been waged, and for the most part it has been won. Women may now vote, acquire education, own property, work where they choose, and lead! As women, have we come as far in our “liberation” as we want to go? In a culture were femininity is defined as a woman’s “sex appeal” what characteristics are we lacking?</p>
<p>This simulation was created to rediscover and redefine “Womanhood”. What a great event to attend with your daughter, discussing a women’s role and then play it out in a scenario. Participants will play the roles of great and influential woman throughout history, past and present. Never before have Abigail Adams, Joan of Arc, Mother Theresa and others, come to the same room to discuss the nature and roll of women in our society.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I have often imagined what it would be like to be one of Jane Austin&#8217;s characters or Abigail Adams.  What universal concerns do women share through the ages?  What fresh and unique perspective could a great lady of the 18th or 19th centuries give to a woman of our time?  It is very intriguing to consider what women from various times could teach one another.” </em></p>
<p>–Diann Jeppson</p>
<p>Simulations are scenarios in which participants take on roles and experience life changing events. Participants will be expected to dress for their role, this may require costumes etc.; the SI staff will help each participant get into character. Participants will be introduced to all related scenario themes gradually as they work through the preparation materials. This Simulation will begin with a brief introduction from our fictional dignitary “Samuel Lewis” they will then precede into the scenario following the agenda outlined in the preparation materials. The participants will have prepared for a month before they come, each participant will then be prepared to represent his or her respective historical figure. There will be an objective which must be reached as a body.</p>
<p>The staff at Simulations Institute will be on hand to assist participants and make sure they have a life-changing educational experience. The “Woman to Woman” simulation lasts two hours minimum; participants will be given 4 assignments involving reading, writing, and speaking. Education is such that we receive rewards equal to our investment; this is especially true regarding simulations. Participants should be able to prepare in approximately one month, utilizing a moderate amount of free-time. This simulation was designed for women, and young ladies ages twelve and up. Mother and daughter participate together; exceptions may be made for youth willing to pay the price for academic excellence.</p>
<p>Once registered, participants will receive a letter of invitation from the “dignitary” Samuel Lewis explaining the situation, the objective and the history behind the scenario.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The “Box of Books” is a simulation where educators come together to discover the most powerful and concise curriculum for the people of the fictional crises of NASA, Alexis Corday Foundation, and The Coalition of Religion Educating for Liberty. Acting as a think tank the participants help Samuel Lewis address one of the greatest questions of history. What and how should we learn? This simulation was designed to explore original and innovative solutions for curriculum development. Educators tackle personal questions: what are the essential needs in education? How and what is the right and best way to educate? Participants will be introduced to all related scenario themes gradually as they work through the preparation materials.</p>
<p>Simulations are scenarios in which participants take on roles and experience life changing events. Participants will be expected to dress for their role, this may require costumes etc.; the SI staff will help each participant get into character. This Simulation will begin with a brief introduction from our fictional dignitary “Samuel Lewis” they will then precede into the scenario following the agenda outlined in the preparation materials. The participants will have prepared for a month before they come, each participant will then be prepared to represent his or her respective role. There will be an objective which must be reached as a body.</p>
<p>The staff at Simulations Institute will be on hand to assist participants and make sure they have a life-changing educational experience. The “Box of Books” simulation lasts two hours minimum; participants will be given 4 assignments involving reading, writing, and speaking. Education is such that we receive rewards equal to our investment; this is especially true regarding simulations. Participants should be able to prepare in approximately one month, utilizing a moderate amount of free-time. This simulation was designed for Parents and educators of all ages. Exceptions may be made for youth willing to pay the price for academic excellence.</p>
<p>Once registered, participants will receive a letter of invitation from the “dignitary” Samuel Lewis explaining the situation, the objective and the history behind the scenario.</p>
