For your final project grade, you will turn in a portfolio of your teams work throughout the
semester. Your portfolio should contain as much information about the design process as
possible, including all of the assignments with commentary and documentation of the various
prototypes that your group developed and refined that were not part of class assignments. In
general, your portfolio should serve as a sort of scrapbook of all of your project activities
throughout the semester. As such, it is much easier to collect this information during the
process than it is to try to re-construct after the fact. Make sure to take as many photos, notes,
videos, etc. of your project work during the process so that you can compile it into your portfolio
as the culmination of your work. More detail will be provided throughout the semester.

The final portfolio will be evaluated along the following criteria:

When reviewing Tumblr: check to see if we have any extra documents we created that are not
currently in the portfolio (e.g. Logic Model)
Can someone explain how detailed the design documentation should be.. I feel that my part and
mary ellens part overlaps a little? I might be wrong -celina

Steps for Flexibility for an Inclusive Classroom

Points of Customization
Given the structure of the game as an embedded classroom tool meant to support teachers
rather than constrain them, this list is somewhat fluid. All aspects of the game are up to the final
discretion of the teacher in order to best serve the students in the achievement of the games
learning objectives.
Specific Areas for Classroom-Level Customization
Optional student decoration of detective folders
Introductory video file (can substitute with your own introduction, with other spy music
found online)
Detective objects/tokens for advancing rank during gameplay
Prize for winning
How players are partnered (e.g. randomly, based on teacher choice, student choice,
etc.)
Be very considerate of tensions/conflict between players and how those may be
aggravated during the interview phase of gameplay
How players are chosen for scoring
How panelists are chosen
Which topics students receive
If you believe a topic may lead to potentially sensitive issues being brought up
during gameplay, you may choose not to give that player the topic
Some topics, although aimed at improving understanding of a partners life, could
inadvertently introduce sensitive topics into discussion. Be mindful of this
possibility. The risks posed should not be any that are above and beyond what
would occur in a similar activity in the classroom context.
