TPRS Script: Kills and Eats

Here is a simple TPRS script I am trying out this week with a few classes. It lines up really well with a few of the questions of Ben Slavic's questionnaire.

In PQA you can talk about what kids like, then eventually what foods kids like. To circle "walking through _____," we looked at what were favorite stores and whether students were happy or sad "walking through American Eagle," for example. I wrote the script specifically with a student who likes hunting in mind, but at the very least you can transition to the story by talking about the difference between buying food in a favorite store and killing it yourself on a hunting trip.

Remember, of course, that the blanks (_____) are filled in with the personalized details of your particular class. You'll need somebody to go hunting, what s/he wants to eat, what s/he sees at the first location, etc. Decide all of those details with the class as they create the story with you.

The English version:
