War-torn Kosovo is experiencing another crisis—thousands of broken-down cars clogging the damaged highways, making travel impossible.

Instructional Ideas
- Instruct students to research the conflict in Kosovo for homework the night before the lesson to save time in class
- To enhance the role play, assign a few family member roles to clearly define the needs of the shop owners
