Gamification Pattern Building Mechanic
Ms. Forsythe divides her class into four teams (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome). Each team, over the course of the unit, learns about all four artistic cultures but becomes an expert in one. For a 20- to 30-minute exercise in discerning and judging the difference among these artistic cultures, Ms. Forsythe displays a piece of sculpture from each of the four cultures onto a large piece of heavy paper or cardboard and then cuts that image into smaller tiles and tosses all of the pieces together into a giant bag. Each group is then required to remove tiles from the bag and, if they think the tile belongs to their piece of art, bring it over to a separate board and reassemble it. If they remove a piece that doesn’t belong to their culture and attempt to build it into their piece of art, then the team suffers a 15-second penalty before they can put the piece back in the bag and redraw.
