Intermediate Level
Hello and welcome to my third D&D teaching campaign! I will be teaching your children more about how to play the Dungeons and Dragons game, write more in-depth and fascinating stories, and have them add to the story through their own questions, characters, and exploration of the world that is created. Your child will learn how to act and think in a different way related to the characters they've made, develop their problem-solving skills when faced with interesting challenges, and to speak/think in quick, necessary means. My class will be structured by starting off with quick recaps at the start of each session before diving more into the story where each learner will get a chance to act or do something in every session. Most of the content created will not be the official content/world that Wizards of the Coast has created (the company that made D&D). Everything will be created by myself and your children as they create and make decisions as a team. Below is the tentative schedule for the next 12 weeks, but please note that sessions will likely change depending on the story, questions asked, and decisions your kids will make. March 16th, Week 1: Introductions, Recap, Setting the Story/Scene March 23rd, Week 2: Exploration and Understanding of the Main Issue(s) to be solved. March 30th, Week 3: Meeting new "Friends" and Transporting Needs April 6th, Week 4: Lost, Confused, but... Succeeding? April 13th, Week 5: Where there is a Will, there is a Way April 20th, Week 6: Time to go to the City April 27th, Week 7: Big City, Big Problems May 4th, Week 8: Which Side is Right? May 11th, Week 9: Infiltrating and Ruling May 18th, Week 10: Infiltrating and Ruling May 25th, Week 11: Changes to the Feywild June 1st Week 12: Rewards, Final Wrap Up, and Look into the Future Titles for each section are left vague as that is the intended direction of the story, but could be changed at any moment during the game.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to practice and act as different characters to develop their acting and impromptu skills. Students will create a verbal story based on the decisions they make in the game. Students will develop their problem-solving, communication, and team building skills.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Dungeons and Dragons does involve elements of violence as there is combat and fighting in the game. Some students also play characters that like to do this. However, there will be no visuals of violence presented, only described verbally and will be as light as possible.
Supply List
A level 6 D&D character, pen/pencil, notebook, D&D dice set or online dice roller, device to connect to live classes, webcam, and microphone.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
All sources for this class will be created by myself using vague references to the official Wizards of the Coast/D&D content. Students may want to use D&D Beyond (website to make characters for free) to create their characters to track them digitally, but that is only an option, not a requirement.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Violet Wallace and I teach a variety of subjects and topics from debate and persuasion to character building, and even Dungeons and Dragons! When it comes to my teaching career, I have taught full time for 3 years now; one year in Canada in Adult Education teaching English Language Arts and Computer Studies and two years in the UK covering subjects from English Language Arts, Religious Studies, Photography, French, Spanish, and a bit of Biology! I believe that teachers need to be passionate about what they teach, caring and understanding to their students, and to be the best mentors/support systems they can be for their students. Progress is important and if we are having fun while being challenged along the way, a lot of growth will happen naturally in the classroom. I also have a pet cat named Wasabi who may make the occasional appearance in class!
