Extended Learning

Project:

We will be offering extended learning opportunities for teachers to use the PowderKeg game before they play and after they play.

Examples:

We have examples of this with the Miner Madness Game. See the Miner Madness Extended Learning (links to an external site).

EPIC Fun Funky Functions Lesson Plan

Extended Learning for the Miner Madness Board Game - an example of what we are looking for in the project.

Include the following:

  • Logo
  • Title
  • Grades 6-8
  • Use all the similar headers (I recommend that you copy the document and place your content into the new document - that way the headers will all stay accessible.

Build your review and intro to include the Curriculum Standards:

1. Create a Review of the Revolutionary War:

Build a Google Doc that that teachers can download and use to teach a lesson after playing PowderKeg.

    • This would be review and can be ideas like the following:
        • Pick an Allied Character and an Item that the character needs.
        • Dig deeper and do continued research on who the allied character was.
        • Dig deeper and do continued research on how the item was a part of the economy of the Revolutionary War time.
        • Write a creative story about how they are connected.
        • Draw a picture describing that relationship.
    • What this description of the project does not have that you will need to include:
        • Curriculum Standards
        • in a google doc that the teachers can download and print

Dylan Fischer, 8th Grader at Grand Rapids Public Museum School did this example:

Charles Townshend as a puppet master and his relationship to pork

2. Create an Introduction to the Revolutionary War:

Build a Google Doc that teachers can download and use to teach a lesson before playing PowderKeg.

    • This will be an intro to the revolutionary war and can focus on the main events and the main allied characters.
