Player Comments on Great Depression: Saumier's US History Simulation

no

it was quite interesting to read through what the options were and the results you'd be given.

i cant reed

The simulation made learning about the Great Depression very relatable.

Its a good form of lesson but so much to read

i was surprised to see that even the smallest and the most necessary jobs are being affected by the deppression.

good

Its fun but its mad readin

Very Beneficial

Thanks for something else

was cool

I chose restraunt worker, and I did not have damege first, but gradually the situation was getting worse, and I lost job because people stopped eating outside. I learned everything around community was related and small economic trouble could be cause of great depression.

I think thatit was not bad at all. It is justv a lot of readign that you have to do and keep track of the details.

I enjoyed doing this. I think is cool how our lives would change based on our jobs and how quickly we could be affected by the Great Depression

Wasn't too bad, I like it because it's shorter

Loved it! I understood the content

The Great Depression would be so hard.

it was good

The Great Depression would be so hard

This was too long. It took me an hour to finish. But I understood the event more than before.

I thought it was a cool reading thing but dont care for this

It gives you good information on the topic

not too much fun

I didn't like it because you have to read a lot instead of being an actual simulation

The simulation was pretty good and it was a good way to imagine yourself in that situation as much as possible.

Sadly, the Great Depression was so depressing that people forgot how to spell correctly!
This is more of a multi-part essay than a story but you definitely put a lot of effort into it with good grammar, spelling and structure so kudos for that. It is interesting that you chose to publish it in this structure and, as Mizal recommends, if it is a school project it might be better in sneak peek. I am surprised you didn’t connect this historical episode to the current situation, it might have been interesting to do so. Anyway, for what it is good effort (except the title)!

Just an fyi, you can put a story in Sneak Peek in the Storygame Settings--and that box would've been checked by default when you created this--and share the URL with your class or whatever without needing to have it actually published and opened to public comments on the site. You can still unpublish the story and do this, and that's what we usually recommend for schools and school projects.

Most of the text appears lifted from https://www.uwp.edu/learn/departments/economics/upload/focus_ushistory_lesson30.pdf, and there isn't much in the way of branching or many story elements, so for this and other reasons it just may not be a good fit for the site and community. Although I suppose it's a pretty timely subject right now. Can I recommend a unit on the Spanish Flu as your next project?



P.S. It's "Depression".
