One way I might change it is to maybe get rid of one game and add a new one. \u00a0Another change I could make is just asking kids to talk more explicitly about how the participants in these games are similar to the patrons of a Casino. \u00a0Either way, I have not shown this game outside of my school and would love any feedback that anyone would want to give me on it. This has been a pretty solid project, so I might not make many modifications, but I will give the first game to students much earlier instead of waiting to the end of the cycle. \u00a0This is of course to move the final project into the <a href=\"http:\/\/bie.org\/object\/document\/main_course_not_dessert\">Main Course instead of part of the Dessert Menu<\/a>\u00a0but also to allow me time to grade and give feedback about both the project and the students writing of the process. \u00a0My dream scenario is that I will have things done sooner and then I can use some sort of technological\u00a0tool to simulate a carnival where patrons have various tastes and students can try their games out and make adjustments. \u00a0 Also, if this is your first visit to my blog, welcome! \u00a0Please look around, give comments, and ask questions. \u00a0 4\/30 #MTBoS30<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am preparing\u00a0my last course of the year, Equations and Patterns (EQP), as my school breaks the year into 4 distinct classes each quarter. \u00a0I am going to try to implement a few other changes to what I have done in previous years and\u00a0I wanted to start first by looking at the final project.
