Learning aims
The immediate learning outcomes in English are to improve reading, comprehension, grammar and punctuation and to explore the characterisation of Buddy.
Kenny hopes that the pupils will react positively to the scenario because it is similar to the virtual environments of computer games like Age of Empires or The Sims, which pupils very much enjoy. He says the scenario should appeal to different learning styles – visual, textual and logical.
