Learning Lies: Using Her Story to Develop Skeptical Students - John Fallon, English Teacher, Fairfield Country Day Schoo
Fiction lies to tell the truth, and unreliable narrators may be the best epistemological tool of all. But, Sam Barlow’s 2015 game “Her Story” allows students to directly duel with one. A fragmented narrative is challenge enough, but the game’s multimedia delivery adds an essential visual analytical challenge that the Youtube generation needs in an era of “fake news”. This session’s project that has been taught by an experienced GBL teacher and will guide attendees from inception to reflection.
