1 hrs 30 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this class, learners will experience a small taste of a D&D game where they have to work together to aid in a quest for the town's main weaponry and equipment shop. This experience will have learners use their character's abilities and skills to the best of their ability in order to fight certain creatures, obtain peculiar and rare items, and make decisions on how to best proceed with the quest. By playing the one-shot game of D&D, learners will be challenged to plan and think about how to complete the quest, organize their strengths and weaknesses, and deal with potential issues that may arise. The intention of this game and class is to give the students an idea of what a D&D game is like and what skills are required to manage their characters in a variety of different settings. There will also be plenty of teaching moments to help learners act in character more, consider all options being presented, and find ways to be successful through working together as a team. Learners do not need to know a lot about D&D before coming into the game, but I do recommend that they at least have a level 1 character built and prepared before the class begins so we can dive right into the adventure and teaching of the game. There will be some visuals show on screen during the game to aid with the story and for the learners to strategize and see what they are facing/experiencing.
Learning Goals
Students will develop and improve their critical thinking, problem-solving, and improvisational skills through playing a game of D&D. Students will learn to collaborate with others in order to complete tasks/win the quest. Students will be able to develop their planning and acting skills as well through thinking and behaving as their characters would behave.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
As Dungeons and Dragons does obtain violence as part of the game (hunting creatures/monsters), there will be a bit of this in the class. However, no visuals of the violence will be displayed, only short descriptions when and if it happens in the session.
Supply List
-A level 1 D&D character -Pen/pencil -Paper/notebook For those that prefer digital resources: a word document to track notes for the game and their character would be helpful in the one-shot.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Violet Wallace and I teach a variety of subjects and topics from debate and persuasion to character building, and even Dungeons and Dragons! When it comes to my teaching career, I have taught full time for 3 years now; one year in Canada in Adult Education teaching English Language Arts and Computer Studies and two years in the UK covering subjects from English Language Arts, Religious Studies, Photography, French, Spanish, and a bit of Biology! I believe that teachers need to be passionate about what they teach, caring and understanding to their students, and to be the best mentors/support systems they can be for their students. Progress is important and if we are having fun while being challenged along the way, a lot of growth will happen naturally in the classroom. I also have a pet cat named Wasabi who may make the occasional appearance in class! Reviews
