GALAXIA
BUILD AN INTERPLANETARY ECONOMY
Spanish, entrepreneurship and enterprise.
Please note: This class is an advanced competency Spanish class and is only appropriate for children who have either demonstrated the capacity to thrive in a total immersion environment or have attained a high level of receptive proficiency (comprehension.)
Brief Description:
Galaxia is an experiential learning game of entrepreneurship, strategy, collaboration, negotiation and Spanish proficiency. As a part of a new, interplanetary economic enterprise, each player-entrepreneur will purchase a planet, invest in an industry, set product prices and determine his/her business strategy. Balancing individual planetary needs with the larger goal of growing and connecting the galaxy, the players will become an integral part of this new, intragalactic economy by engaging in trade, commerce and partnership with other planetary leaders toward the ultimate goal of making the galaxy inhabitable for human life.
Speaking Practice: All transactions will be conducted in Spanish and each entrepreneur will experience "financial" gain by demonstrating Spanish verbal practice and proficiency. Entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to conduct meetings (in Spanish) with the Ejecutiva of Galaxia's sponsor to elicit financial and logistical support to grow the economy of the planets and Galaxia.
Vocabulary Acquisition:
Galaxia is a game designed to deepen conversational skills and systematically broaden vocabulary sets through frequent, repetitive interactions with new, practical vocabulary.
