+ 3 Game of Knowledge Playing Boards
Who It’s For: Adult Education ESL providers - teachers who want to engage learners more effectively in learning English, while preparing to become U.S. citizens. Self-Study participants preparing for U.S. Citizenship.
Why We Created It: To provide an on-line, downloadable version of our popular board game. It's available as a boxed set: H-02.13, English Through Citizenship / A Journey Through America: the Game .
To test that our multi-form questions and answers format works in digital format for online use, and can be download and printed-out, as described in the Prototype: H-02.14a: Questioning & Answering for Topic 1 of E.T.C. / Journey: the Game. Its 84 pages start with Front Matter + Rationale for using three (3) distinct Q & A methodologies—Polar, Alternative, & Informational Items + Responses. Then there are separate 2-page Articles on each generic Q & A Type, with 8 pages of Model Interrogatives + 6 pages of Sample Responses each, for a total of 51 pages: their prototypical Subject Matter is the (fully researched, linguistically analyzed ) content of Topic 1 only (Symbols, Holidays, & People). Next comes the “core” 2 pages of Instructions + 16 pages of six (6) actual, newly researched, immediately useable Two-Sided Trio / Triad Q & A Cards each—to print out & cut apart. They’re followed by a 4-page Explanation of the next 5 pages of full-color Game Boards: First is an 18-Circles to Cover board, next is a Score-Card, and finally, a large Path-Board, ready to be downloaded and printed in full size.
Now we present resource H-02.14b, Covering Five more Decks Of Two-Sided Trio / Triad Q & A Cards on the topics 2-6: 2. U.S. Geography, 3. U.S. History, 4. U.S. Constitution, 5. Federal Government, 6. State & Local Government.
How resources H-02.14a & H-02.14b Are Alike & Different:
[1] The Cover & pages 1-8 are equivalent in both resources. However, H-02.14a pages 9-56, which describe and give copious examples of research into & analysis of three (3) relevant modes of Questioning & Answering—Polar, Alternative, & Informational—are not included in H-02.14b.
[2] Pages 57-74 of H-02.14a (2 pages of Instructions + 16 pages of 48 actual Two-Sided Trio / Triad Q & A Cards on Topic 1) are duplicated in H-02.14b on pages 9-26. Then, in H-02.14b, come the 16 x 5 pages of 48 Q & A Cards each for the Subject Matter of the remaining 5 Topics, on pages 27-106.
[3] In both H-02.14a and H-02.14b, Game Boards One, Two, Three images & Explanations fill the last 9 pages before the Back Cover, completing a 126-page Resource Book.
