Launch
Launch
Students will launch the project by comparing short Minecraft explanations, identifying early text structure clues, and trying a brief build-and-record task with the technology coach. They will capture first observations in their investigation notebook, generate questions about what makes an explanation clear, and record a short reflection naming one academic strength and one social skill.
Days 1 - 2
Launch & Question
Launch & Question
Students will investigate how text-structure clues shape understanding of a Minecraft biome or structure by studying examples, posing a focused question, forming a hypothesis, and planning a fair method for collecting evidence from observations and writing samples.
Days 3 - 8
Collect & Verify Evidence
Collect & Verify Evidence
Students will collect traceable evidence from their Minecraft biome or structure work, document how text structure choices shape clarity, and verify whether their notes, screenshots, and drafts are strong enough to support later conclusions and revisions.
Days 9 - 13
Analyze & Present Findings
Analyze & Present Findings
Students will analyze their collected Minecraft evidence, turn patterns into clear claims, revise their explanations through peer and expert feedback, and prepare a polished recorded tour and conclusion that explain how text structure helps an audience understand a biome or build.
Days 14 - 18
Showcase
Showcase
Students will present their completed Minecraft biome or structure explanations to an authentic audience, use clear text-structure language during a recorded tour, gather audience feedback, and complete a final digital reflection naming academic and social growth from the project.
