In “Good Video Games and Good Learning” (see attached pdf below), James Paul Gee argues that good games promote learning that has use value. The complex commands gamers have to master are more readily learned than, say, an English vocabulary list, because they serve a direct, situational purpose, like defeating an enemy or winning a challenge in order to move to the next level. Each of us, perhaps without knowing it, has mastered vocabularies that allow us to interact in stressful, high-stakes social situations. Most of us have access to terms that will help extract us from an unwanted conversation or evade telling an embarrassing truth or deflate a potentially heated argument. (Some of us lack such a vocabulary.) What I’m looking for in this assignment is a collection of essential words, phrases, signs, or codes that help you navigate through a sea of daily social interactions. If your life were a video game, what commands (or vocabulary) would a player need to learn in order to placate parents, impress or deceive teachers, strengthen friendship, and foil enemies?
