Minecraft クリエイティブの壮大なウィークリービルド - 数学、地理、建築。

In this ongoing class, students will build in Minecraft Creative mode. They will learn about one famous buildings from the past or present day, by building it. Each week there will be a new mystery building to build and a mini lesson on who built it, where is it in the world, and why did it get built. Great introduction to geography!

Students will use Minecraft's Creative Mode, to construct the teacher's already constructed building. This will be a step by step process. They will listen to instructions, or can read them from the slides, that contain very specific Minecraft building materials. These multiply step processes, will help with auditory processing, which improve skill-sets in reading comprehension and mathematical word problems. 

At the end of class, we will have the grand reveal and find out where in the world is this structure. Will yours exactly match mine? We will have 5 minutes to share our builds and compare and contrast each others successes. 

I cannot wait to have fun building with you. See you in the classroom. 

Regarding Minecraft:
Each student will need a Minecraft account. Class participants will do all Minecraft building on their own personal device. Any version of Minecraft (PC/Mac computer, Minecraft for Windows10, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, or other gaming consoles, Minecraft PE for iPad, Android tablets, etc.) will work for this course. The purchase of Minecraft must be made separately and prior to the start of class. Students with a few months of Minecraft experience through play or otherwise, will have the skills needed to complete the builds in Minecraft. Minecraft is a building tool for this course (think of it as digital building blocks). The lessons and information in this course are not official Minecraft products and are not associated with Mojang.

What is NOT included:
This course will not include a group server or realm. Students can work together if their devices are compatible but partner/group projects are not required. Most learners will build in Minecraft on their own.

***Some builds might be more complex and will require more time then the hour requires, or the skill-set of the builder, in this event I will send the recording, at the request of the student, so they can continue the build at their own pace.
