Continue working together on group quests and/or dungeons.

Blog: Reflect on your experiences during the journey. How were you able to better plan your routes and overcome adverse conditions as a team? How might your journey have differed if you had struck out on your own?

Week 3: Dungeons

Read: There is no reading this week.

Wow: Dungeons: You should all be at level 15 or higher by now. The time has come! We can participate in Dungeons together! Talk to Sebastian and David and any others who have already participated in Dungeons, and if the necessary players are available (tank, a healer and three DPS), form a dungeon group, if not use the dungeon finder to find a dungeon you can participate in. Remember teamwork is the key to success. You must coordinate amongst yourselves and work together to be successful.
 
Blog: Your job this week is to reflect on your experience in the dungeon you participated in. What did you find challenging about it? How did teamwork help you to meet your objectives? Give an example when answering each question.

Teaching ReadingThrough Gaming and Teamwork .

The inspiration for this project came from WoW in School

Resources:

• Graphic Novel Study:The Arctic Incident. Adapted by Eoin Colfer Andrew Donkin (Artemis Fowl Graphic Novel) (10 copies)
• WoW Trial version
• parent permission slips and student accounts
• ABC WoW Blog for responding

Maximum Number of Students: 9

Purpose

The purpose of this unit is to engage students in reading and response activities, which encourage them to draw parallels between online gaming activities, involving teamwork in a virtual world. Through quests, students will interact with other players, reflect on their experiences in written form as well as through discussion and draw parallels between their quests and the readings.
Each of the lessons will include a blog post which will reflect on readings and the gaming experiences students have had.

Overview

• The project will take place over a 20 week period as an extra curricular activity for middle school students (to include reluctant readers and/or writers), utilising a, gaming and learning environment combined with reading and response.
• The project will include the use of the online video game and virtual world, World of Warcraft, as well as the graphic novel The Arctic Incident. Adapted by Eoin Colfer Andrew Donkin (Artemis Fowl Graphic Novel) and a blogger.com blog set up for this purpose.
• The following themes will be addressed as key components of the project: reading and responding, teamwork through gaming and social interaction.  The ISTE Nets addressed through the project are 1,2,4 and 5.

Procedure

Over a 20 week period, students will engage in weekly quests, discussion and reflection in the Learning Resources Centre, during extra curricular time. Parallels will be drawn, in reflective blog posts, between student experiences in-world and the experiences of the characters in the novel. Readings and/or blog responses will be assigned as homework each week.
