CREATE ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS AND ORDER MATERIALS OR EQUIPMENT

  • View the main touchpoints of the website material under the Fund$ Game section, especially the other Scripts.
  • Refer to the Setting Assignment Parameters to help you devise your own assignment instructions.
  • See the Sample Assignment Instructions and Evaluation Grids for guidance.
  • If you want the players to take the preparatory work seriously, be sure to assign a grade value to the completion of the role-specific SCRIPT FORMS. These take three to five hours to complete (see class/lab/homework weighting in their scripts).
  • Consider how and when players will need access to various parts of the website material.
  • Complete the assignment instructions and deliver them to the students as soon as you determine a start date. Most teachers deliver instructions and assign roles on the first scheduled day of classes; some wait a while.
  • Decide what materials and equipment you may need to order in advance for the GAME PLAY. Refer to the Materials and Templates for the menu of GAME PLAY paraphernalia.
