In the early 80s, I had a computer game called Zork. It came with a mock textbook with reading sections and end-of-chapter questions and activities. My favorite:
1. Collect several horses for yourself and your classmates. Ride through the center of your town, pillaging stores, burning homes and slaughtering young children and old women. Afterwards, ask people around town what it was like to live in a lawless state.

Today in some places ( mainly Blue $#i+holes) the kids wouldn’t understand as what is described is pretty much a normal day where they live. ;-)
