Freshmen Dalton Debler, Grady Perrin and Jude Meseke join the podcast to chat about the recent Assassin game as part of English 1's study of "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell.
After reading “The Most Dangerous Game” the freshman class prepared to participate in a game of their own, involving betrayal, heartbreak and justice. “It’s a fun way to make the stories come alive, and I think it’s a nice break from essays and worksheets,” English 1 teacher Brendan Praeger said.
An annual tradition for the freshman English class continued as the students studied “The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell.
The class read the short story about a rich hunter stocking his private island with the most dangerous animal: humans. For the related assassin game, each student was assigned another student to ‘hunt’ and clip with a clothespin, or to eliminate with a black spot on an item they are holding.
Freshman English teacher Brendan Praeger has had his classes play the game for eight years. “When I student taught, the whole school played a game of assassin and I thought that it would be a fun way to add to the lesson,” Praeger said.
At the end of the day Thursday, freshman Kara Hafenstine was the only one left standing.
Freshman assassin, a game played while reading Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game," begins Thursday at dawn.
