Students will socially interact with other students and discuss the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild video game.  Students will answer prompts and questions from the teacher and participate in whole group discussion and sharing.

I am a state certified, highly qualified teacher with a Bachelor’s degree in Music Education (Michigan State University, B.A.) and a Master’s degree in Music Composition (Wayne State University).  I have taught elementary and middle school music in the Michigan Public Schools for 10 years.  I have done extensive scholarly research into video game music and have presented on this topic at several graduate music conferences (U of Toronto, U of Kansas City-Lawrence, etc). 

I have played Breath of the Wild a little more than I would like to admit (150+ hours), so I know all the ins-and-outs of the game to help facilitate student discussion!  I have also been an avid gamer since the days of Super Nintendo and know firsthand how video games have the power to develop social relationships.
