Description
Class Experience
Students will learn teamwork, collaborative storytelling, improvisation and practice basic math and problem-solving skills through the lens of an exciting and engaging game of Dungeons and Dragons by taking on the roles of characters trying to survive in a post apocalyptic fantasy setting with a focus on harsh environment, resource scarcity, and questions of just how far one is willing to go just to survive.

I have a degree in English and Textual Studies from Syracuse University, a master's degree in Elementary Education, and have played in and run D&D games for 30+ years.
Homework will consist of work on character backgrounds, leveling up, and time thinking about in-game puzzles during off periods. Only the former two will be directly assigned, but doing the latter will leave more time for progressing the story of the game during class time.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Evaluation, if requested, will be based on how well the students come together to face dynamic, unexpected, situations. Are they willing to make decisions for their characters? Do they know what their characters are capable of? Are they able to work with their fellow students to overcome obstacles? Are they willing to inhabit the roles of their characters and enjoy the fun of improvisation together?
1 hour 25 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Game will contain descriptions of fantasy violence as well as discussion of the moral implications of player character actions.
