In the blink of an eye it has already been 4 years of teaching my Video Games as Literature class. These controllers and chargers were graciously donated by the company Power A to keep my class running for years to come. We started with 18 Xbox Series S consoles, and now we’re at 4 Switches, 2 Switch 2’s, 26 Xbox Series S consoles, and 3 PS5s. My goal in starting this class was to show that Video Games are a medium with great narratives that can be analyzed and studied just like novels or film. It has been so much fun experimenting with games to see what works and what doesn’t. How can I teach with each game, and apply it to state standards. I’m still creating assignments and booklets as I play new games and feel inspiration for new units. I’ve had over 720 students take my class and get to enjoy games like Hades, Skyrim, Red Dead 1/2 (Switches can only play 1 for now), and so many more. I’m grateful to everyone who has helped me make this class so amazing for my students. I’m hoping to keep adding games to our class library, and teach it for years to come. I just wanted to share an update, and a thanks as I move forward teaching this year. submitted by /u/AnonymousCerealBowl |
