*Firefighter I & Firefighter II - 2017
Chapter 8 - Online Activity Submission Dropbox
Student Activity:
For this activity you will work in a small group designated by the instructor. Follow the steps below to complete this activity.
Step One: Using your reading from the manual (Chapter 8, Ropes, Webbing, and Knots) as your guide, work with your group to design a game that explores the use of various fire fighting ropes, webbing, and knots. You are free to choose any type of game you like. The following is a list of possible types of games:
- Tabletop game (board, card, dice, pencil-and-paper)
- Lawn game, physical skill
- Video game (online, console, handheld, arcade)
- Matching game
- Guessing game
- Quizzes, puzzles
- Role-playing game
Step Two: As a group, write a detailed description of your game to post in the R1 dropbox. Your write-up should include the following items:
- Summary of purpose of game
- Well-organized description of game rules
- Skill steps from Essentials manual skill sheets (if applicable; not all games may require the use of skill steps)
- Correct answers to game questions (if applicable)
- Illustrations or lists of tools and resources needed to accomplish game tasks
- Time limit for game or activity within game (if applicable)
- Title appropriate to game
Step Three: You may decide to provide illustrations and/or photographs to enhance your game. If you do, use the R1 attachment function to attach supplemental materials. If you take illustrations or photographs from an online source, be sure to include that source in your dropbox post.
Step Four: Make sure your game is appropriate for your audience. For example, if the game is designed for fellow firefighters, provide the appropriate directions for adults. If the game is designed for younger audiences, ensure that your instructions are written for the appropriate age level.
Step Five: Post your game description, and/or illustrations or photographs to the R1 classroom dropbox by [deadline here].
