D&D Waterdeep: Dragon Heist w/ Jingleheimer
What's included
1 live meeting
2 in-class hours per weekClass Experience
In this class, the students will be learning while playing. They'll pick up on social cues, experience team building exercises, develop critical thinking skills, gain math and reading comprehension, engage in moral and ethics discussions, gain creative story building and character creation experience, create in-game and in real life bonds and friendships, and more. On the first day, characters will be created and the start of the adventure will be leaked. The following sessions will be the adventure. I will be running them through the published campaign book titled 'Waterdeep: Dragon Heist.' Parents are welcome to read the material, but I don't recommend students doing so, as it will be a huge spoiler to the story.
Learning Goals
Students will get to pick up on social cues, experience team building exercises, develop critical thinking skills, gain math and reading comprehension, engage in moral and ethics discussions, creative story building and character creation experience, creating in-game and in real life bonds and friendships, and more.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Dungeons & Dragons is a roleplaying game that involves players to defeat monsters and villains using imaginary swords, axes, hammers, bows and magic. The violence involved is imaginary. The use of alcohol is a trope in this game, but not actually a key aspect - for example, the players will meet in a tavern to receive quests.
There are monsters such as witches and devils in Dungeons & Dragons. Players will sometimes run across these creatures in their games, but they aren't intended to be worshiped or idolized - they are often written into the story with the expressed intention that they be defeated.
Supply List
It would benefit the student to have access to a D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook so they can decide ahead of time what kind of character they'd like to have.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have 6 years (10,000+ hours) of Dungeon Master experience and now I teach D&D to new players as well as new Dungeon Masters.
I am trying out a way to teach D&D to more kids through actively playing the game, instead of just teaching the rules.
