Quick Presentation of Game
Example (Rock Paper Scissors)

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.

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!

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.

Reading / Application of What You ReadWhat 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. / 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.”
