11th Grade Literature Games

Unlock the imagination and storytelling skills of your students with our Dungeons and Dragons Character Creation Template for Kids! This versatile resource is designed to introduce children to the exciting world of tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) while fostering their speaking and listening skills in the classroom.

Key Features:

1. Engaging Creativity: Dive into the fantastical realm of Dungeons and Dragons as students create their own unique characters. From brave warriors to cunning wizards, the template allows children to unleash their creativity and develop compelling backstories for their characters.
2. Interactive Learning: With a focus on speaking and listening, this template encourages students to collaborate and communicate with their peers. As they discuss character traits, abilities, and motivations, they hone their verbal communication skills and learn to articulate their ideas effectively.
3. Critical Thinking: Character creation in Dungeons and Dragons involves strategic decision-making and problem-solving. Students must consider various factors such as race, class, and skills, fostering critical thinking skills as they make choices for their characters.
4. Narrative Development: Through character creation, students develop narrative skills as they craft detailed backgrounds and personalities for their characters. They learn to weave compelling stories and develop empathy as they step into the shoes of their fictional personas.
5. Social Interaction: Dungeons and Dragons is a collaborative game that encourages teamwork and cooperation. By working together to create characters, students build positive relationships with their peers and learn the value of communication and cooperation.

Why Use This Resource for Speaking and Listening Classes?

• Promotes Oral Communication: The character creation process provides ample opportunities for students to engage in oral communication as they discuss character traits, motivations, and goals with their peers.
• Fosters Active Listening: Students practice active listening skills as they listen to their peers' ideas and contributions during group discussions and collaborative decision-making.
• Encourages Collaboration: By working together to create characters, students learn to collaborate effectively, share ideas, and negotiate decisions, fostering a supportive and inclusive classroom environment.
• Develops Storytelling Skills: Character creation encourages students to develop storytelling skills as they craft detailed backstories and personalities for their characters, enhancing their ability to communicate ideas and narratives effectively.

How to Use in Your Classroom:

• Integrate the Dungeons and Dragons Character Creation Template into speaking and listening activities, allowing students to discuss character creation choices and collaborate with their peers.
• Use the template as a creative writing prompt, inspiring students to write stories based on their character creations.

These three pre-reading activities are the perfect introduction to the literature unit for The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne. The activities are anticipatory and get students in the mindset of Puritan and Colonial New England life, put in the shoes of the community members of those times, learn some initial vocabulary, and have the opportunity to tie this all together by writing what they think the novel is about based on these pre-reading activities.

What does this product include?

• One debate/discussion slideshow with 15 statements such as, "People should always be forgiven for their mistakes, no matter how serious the mistake."
• One group/class game "Secret Sinner"
• One printable worksheet with 8 vocabulary words such as "redemption" and "ostracism" for students to match with the definition. This worksheet has an added game in which when all the vocab words have been matched with their definition, students will unscramble the secret word (which is another vocab word), and they have space to write what they think the novel, The Scarlet Letter, is about based on the vocabulary words

How should I use these activities in the classroom?

You will ultimately determine how these three activities can be used, and they truly can be used in whichever order you see fit. And if you have a class full of students who are completely unfamiliar with the plot of The Scarlet Letter, I suggest completing the slideshow first, the Secret Sinner game second, and the worksheet third (or send it home as homework).
