Paper Prototype

All this week we have been working on our paper prototype. Just yesterday we completed and recorded our paper protoype. Our game is going to be about coal mining cause this is what most WV citizens do. We are trying our very hardest to figure out how our game will be set up. I think when we really start making our game it be much easier to decide how the game will be set up. Our main goal in this game is to learn students and teachers about the history of coal mining in WV. We have been researching on the topic of our game and have found out many new things we didn't know before. I guess thats all for this week!(:
