The library was certainly NOT quiet during Mrs. Patrick's Dungeons and Dragons Community Hour today! Students formed game groups, providing a leadership opportunity for more experienced players to serve as Dungeon Masters and to lead their less experienced classmates, or player characters, through the twists and turns of the game. Laughter and jeers filled the library as students analyzed scenarios, assumed character roles (complete with creepy goblin voices ), evaluated the most effective spells and attacks, and rolled the dice to determine their fate. Throughout the quarter, students will immerse themselves in a variety of D&D scenarios that will require them to refine their teamwork, strategy, and creative problem-solving skills, and, eventually, they will develop their own characters and settings, plot original scenarios, and take their classmates on an adventure of their own creation.
Walt Disney himself would’ve been impressed with the educational magic that occurred in Mr. Hallstrom’s Disney Community Hour on Monday. Not only did students battle over the knockouts of Disney movie brackets, but they also received a mini-ethics and philosophy lesson. The class period began with a quote from German philosopher Immanuel Kant which stated “do the right thing simply because it is right.” After contemplating, students became philosophers as they questioned who, exactly, defines what is “right?" Students pondered their own moral compass and explored the theme of lying as illustrated in Disney’s Pinnochio. Mr. Hallstrom presented his students with specific scenarios that required them to question whether or not telling the truth is ALWAYS the “right” choice. To top off the magical hour, students captured the Disney spirit by creating their own “wish upon a jar” projects.
