This week we are looking at you as the Game Master, Dungeon Master or even Puppet Master as Lee Sheldon suggested. All of the supplemental material is there for you as a resource or to inspire you. Tell us what you think in the Metagame Google + community.
Readings

Pages 186 to 275 (so the rest of the book).
Synchronous Activity
Week 3 Hangout Discussion
Wednesday, April 8 at 8 pm ET
Discussion Questions
1) Even if you aren't planning on using it until sometime out in the distant future, tell us story of your game? What's the theme that you would like to use.
2) Monthy Python may have gotten it right. What is your name and what is your quest? We're talking avatars or characters here. Will your students choose characters? Are you already using a system that lets them do that? If not how will you do it? If you don't have ideas, it's perfectly acceptable to give some parameters and see if the group can help out.
3) ARGs! and ARGlike experience. Please just use your imagination and share some ideas on an ARG story that might work for you.
4) Please go find an ARG or an article on an ARG that you'd like to share with us.

We'll post more in our conclusion but just to get you thinking about how assessment could happen, here's an article on authentic assessment.
