This classroom activity allows different boundaries for various groups of students to take a quiz. For example, some groups get more time, others may use a book or notes, etc. However, the roles of students will change just prior to the quiz, so students are forced to look for a more even or "fair" distribution of resources. This activity helps students to better understand the role of government in the distribution and protection of resources and opportunities.
