How will I introduce Scalable Game Design in my school?
I have taught Frogger to 6-8th graders (4th quarter). I plan to have the 7th &amp; 8th graders extend the game (level 2) and then pacman. I will teach Frogger to incoming 6th graders.

What I have done so far
Help Files

2 Handouts - Success Criteria & Vocabulary (2 half sheets)

A student "self evaluation" of the game based on a 50/100 point scoring. Taken from Mark's checklist and adding points

A "help" packet I made for students who were absent or "stuck" debugging their work.
