OER Urban Game Redesign

I took the OER version of the Urban Game and make it into a PPT. I redesigned the OER key to simplify it for people like me who can't draw, and I make students do a SnapChat log as we go. There is a timer added into the PPT and the script is in the notes of each PPT slide.

Those of you who do the older version (plenty of versions out there), it usually took 2 1/2 periods in my regular world history classes to complete. This version (I gave them the map to start them in 1700) took about one 50 minute class period plus about ten minutes the next day.

Melissa Nowotarski , I don't know this lesson. But I appreciate the work you went to so that it is more accessible.

People: if Melissa created this, you can trust it is good! If anyone tries it, will you give us a review? I'd love to learn more.

I love the reflection questions that you ask after the students have done the activity. This activity is a student favorite in my class. Your modifications are very useful for students who may need help getting started.
