Gaming for technical reading and writing

WESTFALL — Our class, Brigid Gray’s Delaware Valley Elementary School sixth grade class, worked together to create board games that reviewed the elements of a novel that we read in class, “The Westing Game.” The board games could follow any design we chose, but the design had to relate to the book we read. Each game had to include questions about the novel, and detailed instructions on how to play. We had the opportunity to play and evaluate each other’s games and our own games. - By Carlton Adler —sixth grade
