Carli Vroman - Teaching

 For this week I mostly worked with the AI work with the coloring page. This one was fun to see and work with to see my art come to life. For the VR I would not use it, because I would get sick doing it but It was very interesting to watch while the people in my group did go up and use it. This would be very useful in a classroom setting for biology and sciences more than in an ELA classroom setting. 

Choose your own adventure     I looked at the Choose Your Own Adventure which I think could be really fun to make and give out as an assignment that would take a while to finish and work on. I like the idea of not knowing what's going to happen each time you click an option even if you look through it multiple times and just switch just one answer. I could see myself using this in a future class to help students develop storytelling ideas and make a collaborative project to get them to work together on a story.  Collaborative puzzle (Puzzle party)      This was really fun but I did it by myself.

Our main learning objective for this game was to effectively match an example of figurative language to its correct example. We made it into a tournament-style game. This is played by randomly getting cards placed between two players. The two players take turns flipping over two cards. They are looking to match the sentence with the correct figurative language and if they match, the person who flipped them over gets to keep them, if these cards do not match, the cards get turned back over face-down. The person with the most matches wins. Winners go on to who has the most points until there is a final winner for the class.  The process of creating this game was interesting. We collaborated on what specific portion of ELA we wanted to work on, and we chose Figurative Language. We looked up game ideas for middle school English found this example and turned it into a tournament-style g...
