should do?

Variations
- If the class is small, the whole
class could first be the regional corporation. Once they
formulate their goals and policy in written form, they
then could assume the role of village corporation and
make village corporation policies based on the first set
of goals.
- If the class really gets into
this, they could request to make their presentation to
their real village corporation. Or, they could write a
business letter to their corporation and request that the
corporation present its policies and plans to the
class.
