4 How to get started Read Jesse Schell s book, The Art of Game Design (

8 Pay Attention to the Process

9 Writing Process Brainstorm ideas for a story Game Design Brainstorm ideas for a game Prewriting (outline, web, etc) Storyboard Write Prototype Peer review/feedback Playtest Revise story Revise game Peer review/feedback Playtest Publish story Publish game

10 Selecting a Tool Criteria: type (toolkit/engine vs programming language) community/tutorials age/experience level of students platform (what you use and what it publishes to) learning curve desired outcomes cost 2D/3D time

11

12 Engagement Tips agree on the topic (and the rules) truth & consequences (don t say no) choose the right platform no it doesn't suck, but it could probably be better let them take on the real roles Fail Big Fail Fast be a role model for silly schedule in pencil relate everything to their world collaboration/respect

13 Bloom s Taxonomy Mastering a Game Knowledge Learning the game Comprehension Learning to play without using the rules Application Advancing leveling up, beat an enemy Analysis Optimizing your gameplay Synthesis Find new methods to optimize your gameplay Evaluation Ability to decide which game is better

14 Student Activity Examine the design principles in a game. Write a short persuasive review piece to demonstrate knowledge and understanding Storyboard Create a game narrative Common Core Standards Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, relevant descriptive details, and well-structured event sequences Publish science-based game on Gamestar Mechanic Use technology, including the Internet, to present the relationships between information and ideas clearly and efficiently

15 Outcomes Students develop the skills necessary for communication, creative expression, and job preparedness in a digital world Fast-track careers students ready for internships, entry-level employment, college/university Students come away with portfolio-worthy games/artwork/code, and other artifacts to use when applying for jobs/higher ed 15
