Video games can do more than just build one’s literacy; it can teach mechanics, problem-solving, rules, narrative speaking, and even foster relationships with others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book offers an in depth look at what an entire English Language Arts unit focused on video games in the classroom can look like. Included is a full 30 day unit utilizing the video games \"What Remains of Edith Finch\" \u0026amp; \"Gone Home\" as central texts. Students will be tasked to play both games and identify and analyze the many literary elements and rhetorical devices found across both games. A full unit plan and 30 individual lesson descriptions act as your teaching guide. Also included is a debrief of how each lesson went with my own students with student completed handouts attached.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen I first decided to pursue a career in education, my close friends joked that I would be the teacher who watched movies and played video games with his students. I always knew in the back of my mind that both of those activities, especially video games, could be a real asset. My hope in writing this book is that you and other educators will be both inspired and prepared to teach with video games in your own classroom.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Geek Therapeutics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46236191391956,"sku":"GT-Book-18","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/2309\/8324\/files\/teaching-with-video-games-an-english-language-arts-unit-epub-660033.jpg?v=1759884951","url":"https:\/\/role-players.shop\/products\/teaching-with-video-games-an-english-language-arts-unit-epub","provider":"Role-Players","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
