Building a board game for your class is a lot of work. I have recently posted all of the game pieces and the current instructions in regards to the game on my website under the category, Worldviews. I am preparing to present this to my school district’s PD day on April 12th. I think it will go well, but the organization of this best is challenging. I also still have more work to do on the stage development process that one day will coincide with curricular outcomes from the program of studies from Alberta Education.
