Quick Presentation of Game
Example (Rock Paper Scissors)
SL 7.4-Tell me about the game.
In this game you try to beat your opponent by using the hand signal that will allow you to win. Rock
beats scissors. Scissors beats paper. Paper beats rock. A physical demonstration is shown.
SL 7.4-Why would someone enjoy playing the game? Challenge-Add a persuasive element here to sell
your game. One way to sell something is to get your audience to feel that the game will give them a
feeling they desire like power, freedom, fun, or belonging. Refer to the persuasive design techniques
graph on pg 4 for further ideas on persuasion.
You would enjoy playing the game because it is unpredictable. You don’t know what move your
opponent will make and you have to anticipate their move. Unpredictability is fun!

were the best games. Rank them according to whether or not you would want to play the game.

play the game because you have to beat the evil dragon, the evil toad, the evil kite, the evil gerbil, the
evil night light, and the evil marshmallow in order to win. Defeating all of those enemies would make me
feel powerful.

Summative Assessment of RL 7.2
Next Step: Reflect on Theme After Playing Your Game: RL 7.2- After you have played your game,
answer the following questions that connect to the theme standard. This will be graded as a
summative assessment so please write neatly and do your best work. I will choose to grade either 1-2,
3-4, 5-6, or 7-8. Please circle your preference for which numbers you want me to grade.
Example:
1. After playing your game, what theme or life lesson did you learn about winning? The theme or life
lesson that I learned about winning was that in order to win, you need to make sure you have more
people on your team than your opponent.
2. How did the game teach you this life lesson or theme about winning? The game taught me this life
lesson about winning because I won because of the fact that I had more men fighting on my team than
my opponent in the end of the game. My large number of men took down my opponents’ weak and
small army. There is power in numbers.

GAME RESEARCH
Directions: Fill out all of the organizer below.
Reading
What you learned when reading Lord of the Flies or The
Art of War excerpts on the topics of either winning,
power, humanity, or war/conflict/competition.
Example: When I read The Art of War excerpt, I learned
that to win a battle you must attack the enemy when he
is weak.
Application of What You Read
How did you apply what you learned on the topics of
winning, power, humanity, or war/conflict/competition
when you read the excerpts to develop your original
game?
Example: I applied this idea in my game by having a
card that has the enemy lose 100 men so that way the
person who pulled the card could “attack the opponent
when he/she is weak.”
