This week, I will be using Gamestar Mechanic to recreate WWII battles with my students. I will allow my students to work in groups (no more than 4) and pick one battle from the war. They will then have to recreate it (like a simulation) using the game. They can use the avatars to represent the sides, and any other things to represent the road blocks and outcomes of the battle. Textboxes should be used to clarify the scene a little bit better and to also give use context for the battle (i.e when it occurred, how long it lasted, outcome etc.) My students will be creating them themselves and once they are created, students can play each groups game and learn more about the other battles. This project will need time for students to research so I am going to give them 4 days in class for research and collaboration, and the final project will be due on Friday. This is when we will sit down at a computer in a lab and play each game for ourselves. There should be at most 12 different games per class.
