As this is a one-off class to learn how to make a character, everything should be learned and taken care of in class. We will go step by step with all who are enrolled and if anything needs clarifying, we can pause the session to help out. If any further help is needed, more resources can be posted in the class afterwards or the student can rewatch the class video.Grading

Beginner Level
Hello! In this Building a Dungeons and Dragons Character class, we will be going through the steps of creating a character in order to play the game! As a class, we will be using our free D&D Beyond website accounts to create these characters in a step by step process that will ensure everyone is on the right track/right page. We will start the class with introductions, why you are interested in the game, and then going through the process all together as a class. My teaching style focuses on the student more than anything else. I want to be able to bring your ideas to life in a character that you will enjoy playing and growing with as you play the game. We will be using Zoom and the screenshare functions to help walk through the process. If students have questions or concerns, the chat box will be a frequent use in order for me to catch all questions and help where necessary. I will also provide a PowerPoint to follow along and to include a formal introduction to what Dungeons and Dragons is and why characters are needed to play! We will have discussions, share ideas, and share our excitement as we bring these characters to life. There is no previous knowledge required for this class, just the proper technology and a general interest in playing Dungeons and Dragons.
Learning Goals
Students will learn what the game Dungeons and Dragons is, the importance of creating a character in order to play the game, how your decisions/stats will influence the game, and allow the student to create a background story for their characters.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
If students want to play Dungeons and Dragons after creating their characters with me, I encourage to look for age-appropriate content as a lot of written, formal campaigns can contain mature content and difficult themes. Please reach out for safe materials for your student to use and play with if needed.
Supply List
Students will need to have access to an email address in order to make an account on D&D Beyond- this website is free to use and is excellent at making the character building process easier. The website is dndbeyond.com if parents want to help set up accounts before hand! A powerpoint of the steps will also be available in the classroom before the class begins to help out!
External Resources
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Sources
We will be using the D&D Beyond website for all their resources in making a D&D character! They have quite a bit free to use, so no additional purchasing is needed for this class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons since early 2017, Dungeon Mastering/running games since 2018, and teaching on OutSchool since 2020 in making characters/running games as well in this format! I believe in the inclusivity of the game for identity purposes, slowing down the game for neurodivergent students, and making sure we all come to a consensus in the game before progressing the story.
