This is the plan for a printing press simulation. This simulation requires a customizable stamp. Students will need lots of small pieces of paper. This is a race and the teach also participates: Have each student write positive affirmations to each of the other 30 kids in the class and write their name on each piece of paper because they are writing the same thing 30 times this should take a while. Teacher enters the competition a few minutes into the simulation with the customized stamp and then stamps the same message to each of the 30 students. The stamp is much faster than writing and shows why the printing press was such an marvelous invention.
