It doesn't need to be rote memorization. The thinking, however, should come from your own brain.

They earn 5 days after each chapter, but they can spend those days whenever they want. That way they have to think about when they are going to lolligate around town.

As a teacher, you are wrong.

I throw in earned downtime after every chapter. (They can use downtime at any time, but if they haven't earned any, there's a 50/50 chance that they will be attacked instead of doing what they were wanting to do. This mostly comes into play when we have a new character that hasn't earned as much...

I hadn't seen that last thread before. Thanks.

I love Pern, but I hear what you are saying about Narnia. I loved it as a kid, and I think the most-recent movie versions are fantastic, but they are definitely kid books and do not reread well as an adult.

Actually, there were three versions. I used to be able to tell the difference between all three, but now I can only differentiate between the main two.

This seems really long. I would stick to the first two questions and the last two questions. Then, after the survey, maybe hold a group discussion about the rest -- some of which can be cut out, because of obvious lack of interest based upon the other questions.

Not more adult, but kids should be mature enough to not freak out about it. We have several openly gay and trans family members, so I wasn't worried about that aspect, but when your kid has a college reading level in 3rd grade, you have to pay attention to content. By middle school, my entire...

I liked it, but it definitely had some prosey sections that I skimmed.

Same here. I was always interested, but knew absolutely nobody who knew how to play.

I don't like horror, so I haven't read much Stephen King, but for some reason, I absolutely love Pet Semetary. I also really like Anne McCaffrey, but some of her books duplicate too much of what is going on in other books. I actually like her son's continuation of the series better, but the...

The anti-gay rhetoric always bugged me. As an entire piece of work, though, I love it.

Our current campaign, I didn't allow dragonborn, because we were going against the dragon cult. I knew my players (aka kids) wouldn't be able to effectively roleplay the issues that came with that.

I like everything he's written, except for his first book, but the Elenium is by far my favorite.

In all fairness, like any genre/publishing company, some authors are much better than others.

No.

The 4th book is when I gave up on Wheel of Time also. And I gave up on the Honor Herrington books when the war was over . . . so they started it again for a reason that all sides knew was inane. In a completely different genre, though, Nora Roberts. Individual paragraphs are outstandingly...

Basic plotline structures. If you know how plotlines work, it helps to create new storylines in your world, even if you are using a published adventure.

Lots of scrolling and I can't fill in the card. It feels like a lot of directions got left out. Maybe have autofill when you click on something?
