Academic Fine-Print for Grownups:Students in this class will make imaginary characters that are based on the fairy or folk tale of their choosing. They will interact as their characters to mend the rip in the fabric of reality, discover which characters come from different places, and find ways to return them to their home stories..
Students will be immersed in real-world history via a fictional, fantastical narrative. Optional homework about the different cultures will be assigned, and they can gain credit in the game for completing it. Students will gain insight into different cultures and methods of storytelling, as well as teamwork, improvisation, and math skills.
For your Curriculum Records, we will cover:

Intro to Academic Research
Dates and Location:
Section A: Ages 12+ will meet on Mondays from 12-2pm Eastern, and will run from Monday, March 24, 2025 through Monday, April 14, 2025. All 4 classes will be held over Zoom.
Requirements: Age 8+, or at the instructor's discretion. No prior knowledge or experience of Dungeons and Dragons is required, as instructions for creating a character will be sent ahead of time. Students will be given access to an online dice roller, so physical dice are not required.
Class Etiquette: I expect and require gentle, respectful language in my classes, and ask that all students come to class prepared to treat each other with kindness. These classes are a great opportunity for your kiddos to practice social/soft skills, with the underlying perspective that we’re all in this together.
