Try a Claim Game

See our extended episode notes at https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/try-a-claim-game/.William “Quayd” Snell teaches Rhetoric, Argumentation, and other writing courses at Sinclair Community College and Wright State University. Over the years, he has developed the “Try a Claim Game,” a board game that requires students to walk through the steps of argumentation and interact with each other to improve their rhetorical skills. Sophie Miller, Elon University Senior and Center for Engaged Learning Student Scholar, Pratheep Paranthaman, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Coordinator of the Game Design Minor at Elon University, and Shane Wood, Associate Professor of English and Director of First-Year Composition at the University of Central Florida discuss Quayd’s board game and suggest ideas to improve the game and align it with learning outcomes. The panel also discuss ways in which games can make learning fun and engaging that can translate to other fields and learning goals.This episode was hosted by Matt Wittstein and edited by Jeremiah Timberlake and Matt Wittstein. Limed: Teaching with a Twist is produced by Matt Wittstein in collaboration with Elon University’s Center for Engaged Learning.
