A 20-page curriculum guide for Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince includes five lessons and related worksheets. For background, class members research and create travel brochures for Florence, Italy, in 1500. Next, they analyze Machiavelli's lion and fox metaphor and apply it to modern politics. Scholars also examine Machiavelli's political theories to trace the development and accuracy of the term Machiavellian. Finally, groups compare Machiavelli's view of war to General George S. Paton, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi.
