Design and Play Educational Creative Writing Games!
Design and Play Educational Creative Writing Games!
Our Challenge
For a century, writers have used playful, experimental, and game-based methods for thinking about literature. Recent interest in game-based teaching has opened the door to bring these methods into the classroom. In this course, we will study these creative reading and writing games and then build our own! The games can be either digital or tabletop, so no expertise is required.
