Today my students had a chance to revisit their ideas board which they had created before the October holidays. Their task was to finalise these ideas boards then sketch out level designs from their analysis documents. I had set up one PS3 with two controllers to allow pupils a chance to begin creating their levels later in the session however only one pupil completed these tasks and began to create the level within Little Big Planet’s My Moon. The others were sketching level designs by the end of the session.
I made sure to reinforce the need for simplicity during this session as these are the first levels to be played by the P1 pupils as an introduction to Little Big Planet. My concern at the moment is that some students want to fit too much into their levels and risk making the learning curve too steep for the P1 classes!
While my students were working on their designs I completed as many tutorials as possible within Little Big Planet and built up my own festival themed level.
