Dilemmas of Rulers

This afternoon Tigers have been considering dilemmas that rulers of the past had to face.

They put themselves in the position of Qin Shi Huang to decide how to stop fighting in China as well as whether to build The Great Wall of China. They considered the differing advice that his advisors may have given him as well as the moral dilemmas.

Olivia said “I think he should build the wall but get everybody in China to help so that they come together and forget about the fighting.”


They then put themselves in the position of Queen Elizabeth I to decide how to sort out anger between Protestants and Catholics as well as whether to get married and have children to inherit the throne.


The children had incredibly thoughtful and informed discussions and disagreed well, showing respect for each other. They all agreed that the decisions were very difficult.
