Critical Thinking Through Game Play: Classroom Inc.’s After the Storm

Join Kathy Burek and Anne Richards for a look at Classroom, Inc.’s After the Storm: Day One, available soon on GameUp. In this literacy game, players take on the role of editor-in-chief at an online magazine in the aftermath of a major hurricane. Kathy and Anne will demo the game, highlighting the ways it prompts students to use critical reading and thinking, make decisions, and navigate the professional world. They’ll also touch on the ways the game assesses the Common Core State Standards in Reading for Informational Text and provide strategies for implementation.
