Paterson, 1913 is designed to be played during the time typically
devoted to teaching the Progressive Era in the U.S. history survey
course. Set in America's "Silk City", Paterson, New Jersey, the
game pits manufacturers, who try to keep Paterson's key economic
engine running, against labour leaders, who demand a general strike
to achieve better working conditions across the silk industry. In
the middle of this conflict are townspeople who must decide whom to
support and how to survive a labour struggle that seems to have no
end in sight. From the award-winning Reacting to the Past
community, Flashpoints is a new series of immersive role-playing
activities designed to help students bring historical ideas and
forces to life. Games are designed to take about one week of class
time in a survey course, between two and four class sessions.
Drawing on primary sources to craft arguments and inform debates,
students develop critical thinking and historical empathy.
Classroom-tested materials for students and instructors ensure a
smooth "flipped classroom" experience.
