I used the computer lab where we can sit 2 or 3 students per computer. First, I let students play around to familiarize with the game idea. Then, I asked them to reset it and to listen to me carefully as I gave them the right order one by one. After each one, they had to observe what happened and narrate it in written form.(At the beginning they thought it was really easy, but then realized it got more complicated each time!) As they watched, they started thinking and asking about the right words to describe what they saw. The result was really fascinating as each student produced a text according to their own linguistic ability. And they loved using a game! Kyle,
