#thisismyclassroom June 2013

At the end of April our S2 students began a group games design task. I used the poster above as a guide to get them started but the desired outcome was an A2 poster containing:

• An overview of the game plot
• A description of each of the main characters – heroes and villains
• A clear plan for how the game character(s) will be controlled
• A description or sketch of the backgrounds and/or audio

The S2 classes did a fantastic job and some even began to create prototype versions using Scratch. Yesterday I cleared out the display at the back of my classroom and put up a selection of some of the best games design posters.

Next session I’m going to begin to use the window space for short-term displays relating to solo taxonomy as well as try to extend the washing line display across my room.
