I teach AP Human Geography and we are finishing up our unit on political geography. I found an interesting game online at Anneberg USC that allows students to pretend to be redistricting consultants for political parties to see how the process works. The game was so much fun and it was exciting to see how engaged each individual was when trying to balance population and representation. I recorded some video in Apple Clips to showcase the fun that my students had today.
If you teach AP Human, Government or even US History, you should use this to allow students the opportunity with a hands-on experience at gerrymandering.
