Late blog post.  Unfortunately I missed the memo about completing the self-assessment form, so hopefully I am able to do that now.  I think that during the first teaching, I tried hard to explain what was happening, and try to get all the different scenarios out, so they could see what was happening.  I tried to show different options of what they could do when it was their turn, and I think that is why I was kind of happy I didn't play even though it did get boring just watching.  Next time, I will explain just as much, but when we play, I can also show different options while we play.  Show different things of what I was doing in a way to help them learn the game.  I don't think my approach to gaming has changed because I like learning a game, and after awhile of playing it and getting to know it better going to teach it to someone else so they can repeat the cycle.  I think that after the first game, the other students playing understood what they were doing.  I believe they enjoyed it.  Everyone was engaged and I cannot remember them playing on their phones or looking around.  They mostly tried to help everyone play the piece that they had drawn.  Some rules I neglected because they didn't come into play until the end.  Maybe I should have stated those rules sooner and maybe they would have changed how they played.  I tried to share as much strategy as I could to try and help them learn the game better.
