So many funny, awkward, heart-warming, and heart-breaking memories are made during the three short years of junior high. These are memories that last a lifetime and shape the adults of the future.
My students WANT to be successful!
They are often unsure of how to get there, but they know that a bright future begins with a solid foundation.
My classroom is filled with dreamers, readers, planners, writers, jokesters, social butterflies, and wallflowers. They are all absolutely amazing human beings.
My Project
Research shows that students in gamified classrooms are substantially more engaged, more motivated, and show increased academic performance. Additionally, students learn vital life skills such as critical thinking, cooperation, empathy, and persistence. Gamification promotes positive mental health, higher attendance rates, and pro-social behaviors.
I believe English class can be as engaging and motivating as any video game.
In order to make this happen in my classroom, I need real-life rewards that they can "buy" with their in-game points. I need games to play and supplies for the "store." I want to prove that games can change education for the better.
