Topic
Gaming
Objective
Students will develop a basic understanding of various roles games play in society.

Mise En Place [~2-3 Minutes]
Every day you should:
- Login to DCPS OneView and Focus.
- Open Outlook and OneNote.
- Clock-in on Focus.
- Check your e-mail for important information.

Instruction [~5-10 Minutes]
Finish working on Draw Something #21: 3D Paint. It is due tonight by 11:59PM.
Students that would like to earn extra credit can use Paint 3D to create a Sugar Skull. A Sugar Skull is often associated with the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). This holiday was also the backdrop for the movie Coco (2017).
- First take a look at the Top 8: Sugar Skulls from last year for ideas and inspiration.
- To get the skull model, access the "3D Library" in Paint 3D and search for human skull, then import it.
- Once you have imported the model you can use the tools in Paint 3D to decorate your Sugar Skull.
- Make sure to save your project often as Paint 3D will occasionally crash.
Students that have completed the Gaming Essentials uCertify prep-engine and did well on the practice tests will take the Gaming Essentials industry certification today.
