Video games can do more than just build one's literacy; it can teach mechanics, problem-solving, rules, narrative speaking, and even foster relationships with others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers an in depth look at what an entire English Language Arts unit focused on video games in the classroom can look like. Included is a full 30 day unit utilizing the video games \"What Remains of Edith Finch\" \u0026amp; \"Gone Home\" as central texts. Students will be tasked to play both games and identify and analyze the many literary elements and rhetorical devices found across both games. A full unit plan and 30 individual lesson descriptions act as your teaching guide. Also included is a debrief of how each lesson went with my own students with student completed handouts attached. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen I first decided to pursue a career in education, my close friends joked that I would be the teacher who watched movies and played video games with his students. I always knew in the back of my mind that both of those activities, especially video games, could be a real asset. My hope in writing this book is that you and other educators will be both inspired and prepared to teach with video games in your own classroom.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.32 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 22, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42158474330247,"sku":"9798752003561","price":40.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/891bd6c501163008e359b92da7375260.webp?v=1733259089","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/teaching-with-video-games-an-english-language-arts-unit-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
