Quest+for+Knowledge+Part+2


 * Seminole County Public Schools**
 * WOW in School**

This is the third session of SCPS WOW in School. Students will continue to learn the lore of their race - dwarf, draenei, human, gnome, or night elf. In the hero's journey, this represents the Exposition of the story. They will also learn the basic mechanics of the game and learn about their characters through the quests in their starting zones. There will be a lot of vocabulary building and a lot of sharing at the end about what they learned. || Stories contain a backstory or exposition - in this case represented by the lore of their race. This lore will impact the way the character will act and interact with its environment, just as in literature it drives the actions of the hero. || Students will work in groups by WOW-race (gnome, dwarf, night elf, etc) and complete a chart to be shared with the class. Questions to be answered include:
