Come create something great!

In this ongoing social club, students will socialize with other students about Animal Crossing New Horizons - Happy Home Paradise.  Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their own tips and tricks about the game.  We will have the opportunity to share the vacation homes that we have built as well as learn and discuss design techniques. Beginners and those without a Switch or the Happy Home Paradise DLC are welcome to take part in this club to gain knowledge from their fellow classmates.  

It is not mandatory that students come to my island during class, however, I do give different items in the game which will require them to utilize a dodo code to join me and the others in online play.  They are also welcome to visit each other's islands during class.  Students will need to have a Nintendo Online subscription and bring their Switch to class to be able to play via Dodo Code if they wish to receive items from the instructor, visit another student's island or host their island for guests; however, those without a Switch are welcome to participate in the social club by discussion only. 

Students will share ideas and may show their islands as well as discuss game strategies to foster collaborative working relationships and team building skills.  For those students that need extra support to engage, I will help them connect to the class with gentle encouragement without adding to the fear of being put on the spot.  We will have the opportunity to watch walkthroughs via a shared screen provided by me to help with develop of advanced designing skills.  Students will also develop social skills by communicating with each other during class. 

This is a safe and interactive space for students with the same interests to come together and share knowledge and game strategies with their peers.  Each week we will have a suggested weekly discussion topic but students are welcome to talk about any trending and/or game related topics. 

NOTE:   This class may utilize break out rooms as a safe place to gather in groups within ZOOM which I will closely monitor.  It is expected that students will be courteous and respectful in the breakout rooms.  Students should have their camera and mic on to socialize with their peers.  Students should NOT screen share for any purposes other than to use the whiteboard to draw.  Watching Youtube, Internet searching and playing video games other than Animal Crossing are NOT permitted.
