Reflection

Reflection upon completion

Comparison to standardized test: This project is the opposite of a standardized test. Students have an opportunity to excercise creativity, strategize the rules of a game, test it for accuracy and have fun learning. This has been a very fullfilling experience for both the teacher and the students. The students were eager to turn in the "game" and the teacher eager to grade it and "play". Once projects were turned in and graded, students exchanged games and played together. This experience did not feel like a test at all yet it was. After completion the teacher has a formal paper test schedule on which the students will answer questions regarding the stories. The students expressed how they can remember the elements better now that they have put their games together and played others.
