November 7, 2013 - Thursday

Class Work

Welcome to Game Day!

Today we will share what we discovered about games of the past and present. Please take brief notes on the information. A sentence or two will suffice.


Next, we will take a bit of time to play a board game or two. When time is up, write a paragraph explaining if you like the game or not. Speculate on why the game became popular. Explain how you felt while playing the game. Are you a passive or aggressive player?

Where and when did board games originate?

How do the board games of today relate to games of old?

http://www.ccgs.com/games/index.htm - This site contains some interesting information.

Although I caution you to take Wikipedia with a grain of salt, there is some interesting information here - some in need of verification from other sources.

One more site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_game

For homework, select a specific board game. You are the investigator. Find the who, what, when, where, why, and how of your chosen game. Write it as if you were writing the information in a letter or e-mail to a friend. Post in CANVAS by Tuesday. (30 pts.)
