Hope it went well! Just take deep breaths and relax – everyone in your grade is in the same boat as you, and everyone else in the school has been in your shoes. 🙂

Hi, yeah I’m starting my first day of high school tomorrow, it’s a new school and everything. I’m so terrified, my brother went there but I’m still terrified D: but your blog made me laugh, it helped a lot :)

Hi! I tried to add a note on that one question about RPG but I’m not sure if everything worked correctly… Basically what I was trying to say is that whoever asked that should look up Project Based Learning. I believe the George Lucas Foundation has a lot of research on it. You assign roles to your students and they play those roles the entire time you are learning something. They also almost always work in groups and rely on each other to complete assignments. Its really interesting!
Thanks for the information! 🙂

What grade/subject do you teach? Also, do you have a favorite grade or subject to teach?
I have been asked this question too many times; I now have my subjects in my description.
I have taught English the most, and there are different elements that make every grade and level interesting to teach. I thoroughly enjoy the types of conversations I can have with Grade 12 University level students, however. They get it, and are ready to move on with their lives.

So I really want to incorporate tabletop RPG’s (or at least elements of them) into an education setting. Specifically, I’d like to incorporate elements into activities/assessments/curriculum/what have you for English and Social Studies. I’ve thrown this idea at some gamers who might be able to help me out, but I wanted to ask an educator: Do you think this could be a feasible way of forming a year long high school class?
I’m not too sure about all of the components you would include, but it seems like an interesting idea. You would also have to ride it out to see if it works with your group of students. I am not sure if it would work all the time, but for some activities it could be very interesting.
Good luck!
