China and the World in 2010: An Introduction to Futures Studies

"The purpose of China and the World in 2010 is to introduce students to the study of the future by teaching some of the tools that futurists use. Through small group activities, students will become familiar with and proficient in using the following tools: historical analogy, trend extrapolation, cross-impact matrix, and decision maker’s flowchart. Students will learn how to use these tools as applied to China, but these tools can be applied to almost any content area." (text taken from SPICE)
