What is a good activity to understand international trade?
In my economics class groups present a powerpoint to teach the students what a certain chapter contains. My group got International Trade. I want to create an activity to help the students learn what international trade is, but dont know exactly what to do. Does anyone have any ideas?

replicate ricardo’s comparative advantage story:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage#Examples

split your class into two countries, give each a PPF, let them pick a point on it,.
then demonstrate how they can above that point with trade.
