I am taking over the 7-12 Basic Skills English program at my school and completely transforming the classroom experience for these students. Using 3D GameLab and three different MMOs, we will be exploring together literature, writing, vocabulary, and grammar.
Students will be using the games as the backdrop for their literature. We will be comparing/contrasting experiences in-game and in-book, practicing writing through crafting authentic game guides, and learning vocabulary using in an individualized student-paced method.
I will also be challenging myself to regularly blog through this experience, chronically the challenges and successes. Should be fun!
