Abstract
In this lesson, students demonstrate an understanding of author’s purpose by developing their own narrative and bringing it to life with Bloxels, a platform/app and physical kit for people to build their own video games. This lesson is a progressive activity where students apply what they learned about the authors' purpose, according to TEKs Guide (n.d.) ELA.5.10, and create a narrative. Students are divided into groups and given a base “setting.” They can expand this setting to fit their narrative using the included Bloxels Planning Materials. Groups plan their narrative, design key scenes using Bloxels, and narrate them using a consistent viewpoint. Students are expected to include: text (script, setting description, character descriptions), graphics/images, point of view, anecdote or hyperbole, figurative language.
