Supplementary Unit Structure
Here is a unit that I used to further the effects of the game on the community where the students live.
Day 1: Answer the question: What is the biggest problem in our community? Form groups around themes.
Day 2: Make the problem more specific.
Day 3: Brainwrite possible solutions to the problem.
Day 4: Brainwrite possible parts of solutions that students can take right now.
Day 5: Research what other people have done, research the solutions.
Day 6: Write steps to complete the task you have decided to do as a group. Split up responsibilities.
Day 7: Research what each step needs, and how to best complete each step.
Day 8: Figure out how you will show the class what you did.
Days 9-15: Complete all steps.
Day 16: Polish and practice presentation.
Day 17: Show and tell about the projects that you did. Do self-evaluation of group work, impact, etc.
