| Short Description | Research with RPGs? How can that be possible? In this session we will learn how to engage students in interest driven research, applying the methods needed for long term skills. |
| Long Description | From topic selection to finished product, keeping students engaged in research can be frustratingly tricky. Come discuss the purposes of research-based writing, and explore an interest driven approach to teaching students the steps and methods of applying research through a non-traditional source: Role Playing Games. From D&D and Pathfinder, to My Little Pony and more, RPGs have basic components that can be used to build student buy-in and engagement while applying research in an authentic way. In the presenter’s experience, this method has a positive track record of not just positive engagement, but enthusiastic participation. The goal of this workshop is to give participants another tool in their toolbox for building authentic student engagement. All student templates will be given at the end as a handout, as well as contact information for further support or sample materials. |
