1. Have music playing 2. Students can grab a snack. 3. Students sit where they would like to sit and log in. 4. Once all students are present, have students stop and turn their chairs to listen to Lamarious explain flight paths. 5. Talk about guilds - a. Does anyone know what a guild is? b. Have you noticed that some people have a name under their character name? c. What might be the benefits? (talk about guild chat, getting help, asking questions, sharing items in a guild bank, etc) 6. Our first step is to select a name. Today while you are questing - write down 3 (or more) names you like and 3 ( or more) names you would NOT like for a guild name. We will discuss them later. (Later, we will distill the qualities of a name that are important to them.) 7. Give them a Guild Name sheet. 8. Students may now quest. 9. With 20 minutes left, share the names on chart paper and discuss what was good and bad about names. What SHOULD our name project? Try to generate a list of words.

//Lorekeeper Lewis// Students continue to increase their ability to work in teams. The conversation in the room consistently increases in quality and expressions of teamwork. Some students are still struggling, especially if they are below level 10. But students that are in the mid-teens for their level are really working together better. I think levels 6-10 is where they "hit the wall" and come out the other side ready to work together!

Students began talking about guild names, and as they traveled around listed guild names they liked and didn't like. When asked what sort of qualities they might want in a name, a lot of responses were about power and strength - in fact they used the term "fierce" - so it will take some coaxing to get them back to the idea of being a Hero.

Tuesday we will continue with the guild discussion. We will also introduce the idea of professions. By Thursday our dungeon group should be ready again.
