JennifersLost Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I'm about to start listening to an audio version of The Prince with my teens. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to present this material in an interesting way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kate in seattle Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I don't know - my teen son read it and immediately wanted to take over a small european country and run it along machiavellian lines. it was pretty engaging just by itself! there's the age old question - do the ends justify the means? should the prince do whatever he can to keep stability in his country (which also keeps himself in power)? where are the flaws in his arguements? what assumptions is he making about people that may or may not be true? have fun!

anissarobert Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Not to parrot Kate, but I agree. The Prince is an interesting read, especially for teen boys who imagine ruling the world. It is one of my favorites on our list this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
