 * Performance Task (Summary in G.R.A.S.P.S. form): **(T)** ||
 * **Goal:** You and your greatest foe have been hired on separate teams to create a mind altering-ly awesome, educational computer game for students. Your foe has been assigned to a team to create a new Oregon Trail. Your goal, make a game about the Grapes of Wrath that bests the newest Oregon Trail.
 * Role:** You are a top computer game designer.
 * Audience:** Your audience will be the CEO of MECC, the company that created Oregon Trail. You need to convince the CEO that your game is better than the new Oregon Trail.
 * Situation:** You are competing with your foe to make an awesome educational computer game.
 * Product/Presentation:** You must make a "rough draft" of the game on Google Earth by mapping out the Joad family's ventures, then prepare a short presentation for the CEO about why your game is the best.
 * Standards (criteria from both rubrics):**
 * Other Evidence (quizzes, test, prompts, observations, dialogues, work sample, etc.):**
 * Other Evidence **(OE)** ||
 * **•Quizzes** - Small chapter quizzes every three chapters.
 * •Dialogue** - Class discussion about readings, "close readings."

 * **•Blog -** Students will be keeping a reading journal for each chapter they read.

The entries will later be synthesized and linked to the Google Earth product.
 * •Pre-Assessment -** Students will be pre-assessed on their knowledge of literary devices, themes and general knowledge of the novel.

 * //Task Description:// (T) ||
 * You need to use Google Earth to make a “rough draft” of the game you would like to create for MECC. In order to make sure you cover all the juicy stuff from the book you and your team will make an outline of what you want to cover. When you're making your outline, remember that the game needs to have important events from the novel pinpointed and you will need to provide chapter summaries for key chapters. You will need to include between 6-8 external links in the informational boxes that lead players to team blog entries you have created for them to read so they can learn more about the novel. You will need to provide character bios for each member of the Joad family, as well as Jim Casy, considering he spends a good protion of time traveling with the Joads.

And guess what, your arch rival has been appointed to lead the opposing company’s developing team. You will need to work with your team to create a fun, interesting, and creative presentation for the CEO and board of directors of MECC. You need to convince them that your game is the best and leave your rival in the dust where he belongs. ||
