9-6-2013 Deconstructing Games Debrief
Yesterday, we created and worked on a collaborative Doc in our Google Drive.
Today, the team leader needs to Turn In the Doc by filling in the Form on this page (Click here. See bottom of the page).
Then we will Debrief. Google Debrief to see what it means.
After we Debrief, we will create a letter to place in a Time Capsule which will buried here at the school and will be reopened on the last day of school.
You will write a letter to YOURSELF.
The purpose of writing can be to communicate/ write your thoughts or feelings about the topics listed below. At the end of school, you will read your letting and see if your thoughts and feelings are the same or if they have changed.
No one will read your letter, not even your teacher, without your permission. So write in a spot in the classroom where no one will look over your shoulder.
The more effort you put into letter now, the more enjoyable it will be read later.
Here are some topics you can write about:
Letter will be sealed in an envelope, with your name on the outside, and within a water proof container which will be buried outside for the entire year.
