This class is one of a few more fun semester long senior elective English classes at my high school. We also have film as literature, poetry of rock and roll, creative writing, etc… I have 24 Xbox series S consoles, 2 PS5s, 4 Switches, and now 30 Gameboys (assorted colors and advance consoles). We play a variety of games, and focus on either analysis of characters, plot, or general lore in a game. I have been working hard to make materials for my class for the past 2 years, and have shared everything I have made on my class Patreon. My school has a pet shop that lets me make booklets, so I focus on posting lessons and booklets I have made.
I work at a public school in rural Oregon, and got everything in my class with grants. I have written dozens of grants for the past 3 years (1 year before my class officially started) and won over $10,000 for various consoles, games, and class improvements. I love what I do, and am glad I can share what I make.

surprised the board approved it to begin with tbh
If schools did more stuff like this, I bet kids would be more interested in learning.
Seems really great but also the kind of thing you’d receive a cease and desist for
Huh and to think they made us read For Whom the Bell Tolls.
edit: But, if it keeps students engaged I’m all for it.
Nintendo’s lawyers are on the way
It would be interesting
I learned a lot of English through Pokémon as a kid
Be careful, hope Nintendo doesn’t knock in your door.
PS: That’s really cool, I learned English from playing Half Life in my dad PC and Pokemon roms on my GBA.
