=Conclusion= //(Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.)// Congratulations you have finished the journey! Now that you have journeyed through the game you have a better understanding of the Revolutionary War and parts of the French Revolution. Our society began because of these battles that took place. It is important to know about the Revolutionary War because we would not be granted our freedom. We would continue to be a part of England and have a king. Your journey has allowed you to explore those ideas as well as quiz you on the information regarding the civil war. You now have made a movie about what it means to be free. You are now a free citizen of the United States of America enjoy what democracy has to offer you!
