Woodrow Wilson was one of America's greatest visonaries.  As president, he faced the greatest calamity the globe had ever seen: The Great War.  Wilson vigorously pursued a progressive legislative agenda during his first term, but pressures abroad forced him to turn his focus to foreign policy.  Students will create a game that allows a player toguide Wilson through the pitfalls of war while still trying to maintain Wilson's legendary idealism.  Here is a link to the document:
