Week 1: Learners will discuss and explore various kinds of board games and think about how board games are really like a story. Learns will brainstorm ideas for the setting of their own game as well as the type of game play they might like to use. Week 2: Learners will talk about the writing process and create a plot outline to help them create rules and a board for their game. Week 3: During week 3 learners will share their rough drafts for their games. As part of this supportive show and tell we will use the Harvard Protocol (I think, I notice, I value, I wonder) to offer feedback to each learner who wants to share. This class is highly dependent upon participation from learners and some work will need to be done outside of class to have a rough draft of a game finished by the end.
Learning Goals
Learners will gain an apprication for different kinds of board games.
Learners will understand the similarities in creating a board game and telling/writing a story.
Learners will feel confident in using the writing process to express their own ideas.Other Details
Parental Guidance
Please be aware that this is a project based learning class and students will be brainstorming their own ideas for their personal game projects. Anytime students have the opportunity to brainstorm ideas, suggestions may be presented which may be different than ideas or beliefs your learner may have encountered before. Please take some time to discuss with your learner what to do if ideas are shared that make them uncomfortable. Mrs. Fimbel believes in encouraging students to follow their interests and supports students who want to be self expressive in an appropriate manner.
Supply List
Learners will need a note book or space for online files for keeping track of their work and ideas. Some students may want colored pencils, markers, and other art supplies to draft their gameboard and pieces. Some handouts will be provided and will need to be printed or edited online.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
