I have English IV classes for 2nd and 3rd block.
Today, we created character sheets. Here is a quick breakdown of what we did and how you can do it:
- Name – Give yourself a cool pirate nickname
- Player – That’s you. These two names can be the same.
- Chronicle – Term 1
- Nature and Demeanor – Your nature is your true self, your demeanor is that “hat” you wear on campus. There is a list of archetypes in Game Mechanics in LMS. Read through them and find one that is your NATURE and one that is your DEMEANOR.
- Concept – What do you want to be seen as in my class? A Vistas Viking? Slacker? Deep Thinker?
- Age
- Home Campus
- Disembark – Projected graduation date
- Abilities
- Physical
- Social
- Mental
Find the column that is your strength and distribute 7 dots between the three categories.
Your middle column gets five dots.
Your weakest column only gets three dots.
- Reading, Writing, Conventions, Research, Listening/Speaking, Figure 19 – These are the things that I am required to teach you. For today, give yourself one bubble in Vocabulary
- Compass – These will determine what you roll if I catch you on your cell phone
- The R’s – You are responsible for four of the five R’s. As a teacher, I make the curriculum relevant. You have ten dots to grade yourself in the remaining four R’s
- Health 0 Your health is your conduct. Stay healthy.

- Merits, Flaws, and Achievements – These are “super powers” you can earn
- XP Sheet – you can keep track of your experience (grades) here.
After that, we did the First Day survey, which can be found here.
We then created Edmodo accounts. Get the class code from me.
We closed the class with a silly number “game” where we had to circle numbers in numerical order. Riley then taught us a “trick” to help us do better the second time around.
The Character Sheet and the Survey will be easy ways to earn XP. Simple!
