A worksheet about video game design that meets a surprising number of Common Core standards.

Video game levels follow a narrative—a story—even if they contain no spoken words or text.

In this worksheet, students engage with the narrative patterns underlying video games, enhancing their knowledge both of the games they play and literature in general.
