Proposal for Creative Project on Pobby and Dingan

Instructions: 

          You will need to submit a proposal (one per group) that says exactly what you plan to do, how you will do it, why, and what you hope to learn from it. Also discuss the estimated amount of time you think it will take and how you will break down the time into a project noting the days and times you will complete each part of the project. If you are working in a group, please specify exactly who will do what and when.

Overview:

          Me and Kevin are going to make a board game-monopoly based on the novel Pobby & Dingan’s plot and characters. The four characters, Mom, Dad, Ashmol and Kellyanne are competing on the board by the players, and they move with the instructions on the board and the number on the dice each player rolled. The first player to reach the starting point wins the game.

Rules for the game:

• Players go through the board with certain steps everytime depending on the number of dice they rolled.
• As the players going forward, they have to follow different rules that are written on the board. Many instructions are for individual players, but in some occasions where are written on the board require everyone to follow the instruction.
• When players are going through the board, they might halt on a square where it has a star on it. This requires the player to pick up a certain note card and read it out loud. It tells the players what happened in this point of the novel as they move on.
• The first player reached the starting point wins the game.

Purpose (Why and What to learn from it):

          Our purpose to make this board game is, to let the readers understand the plot better and to make them feel like they are in the story and feel the emotion of the characters. In the process of creating this game, we are hoping to learn about how the characters are feeling when they meets certain situation and how they would resolve the conflicts they met.

Time Scheduling:

          Me and Kevin had spent one hour on planning for the instructions on every square, and I think we would spend approximately four hours on making the board together and adding the instructions onto it, four hours editing the note cards, and one hour on checking if there is any error of the game and fix the problems. We are planning to make about ten note cards, and each of us would be making five and we will correct the grammar and errors for each other.
