This two-part class is designed for fans of the Nancy Drew computer games created by Her Interactive. If you know and love some of these games, this class is for you! Together, we will explore the mysteries of these games and dive deep into our experiences as Nancy. We will discuss the different characters, plots, design elements, and skills we experienced through game play. You do not need to have played all the games to enjoy and participate in these classes. These classes will include slideshow presentation to guide our discussions and students will be prompted with open-ended questions about their experiences playing the games. In both classes, students will engage in a Kahoot game to test their general knowledge about the Nancy Drew games (you do not need to be an expert on all of the games to participate and have fun with these Kahoots!). Class One : We will discuss our favourite and not so favourite games. We will examine the writing styles, graphics, and game play features. Class Two : We will discuss our favourite and not so favourite characters that we have interacted with during game play. We will also analyze some skills and fun things that we have learned through game play and how they can relate to real world problem solving. Join me to chat about the best sleuth, Nancy Drew... if you dare! PLEASE NOTE: Students in this class will be expected to keep endings of games a secret, unless otherwise discussed. This is to ensure that students who have not played particular games do not have their future experiences ruined.

Hello Outschool families,
My name is Melanie Wiancko, but you can call me Mrs. Mel! I am a Canadian teacher who loves solving puzzles, hiking, jogging, reading, and playing games! I hope to offer courses that spark your interest in history, geography, math, travel, escape rooms, chess, world religion, and more!
Experience: I have received my Bachelor of Education from Nipissing University and my Bachelor of Arts in History from Brock University. I am a certified teacher in Ontario, Canada, and I also have specific qualifications in intermediate math and intermediate/senior history and geography. I have experience teaching English online to English Language Learners ranging in ages from three to fifteen. I love teaching online and the opportunity to connect with students of all ages from around the world. We all have something to learn from one another!
Teaching Philosophy: As a lifelong learner, I believe that learning is best experienced when it is interactive, engaging, and is something that you are passionate about. In my classroom, students will be provided with the opportunity to explore their passions in interactive ways through pictures, discussion, games, and more. My classroom is a place of respect and inclusiveness where students can be curious, make mistakes, and grow. Let’s learn together!
