A Dungeons & Dragons-Inspired ESL Unit
Discover our latest Learning and Evaluation Situation (LES), a full teaching unit inspired by Dungeons and Dragons.
Turn Your Classroom Into an Epic Adventure
Looking for a way to skyrocket student engagement while hitting every ESL competency?
This is it.
This 14-period, key-in-hand teaching unit brings the magic of tabletop role-playing games into the modern language classroom and transforms students from passive learners into heroic storytellers.
This isn't just a game. It's a research-backed, inclusive pedagogical tool built for real classrooms, real teachers, and real results.
Who Is This For? This unit is designed for ESL/EFL teachers working with middle school and high school learners (ages 11–17). Readings are offered at two difficulty levels, and all activities are adaptable to meet your students' diverse needs — whether you teach in Quebec, Canada, or anywhere in the world.
No D&D experience required. Everything you need is included.
What's Inside?
🎯 The Hook Spark immediate buy-in with a Stranger Things-themed introduction and vocabulary-building games that pull students into the world from day one.
📖 Differentiated Readings Texts offered at multiple levels so every learner can access the content and succeed.
🧙 Character Creation Stations Students rotate through hands-on stations to build their hero — learning about classes, abilities, and gear through collaborative discussion and negotiation in English.
💻 Tech-Forward Learning (fully adaptable without tech) includes optional integration with TitanCraft for 3D character design and AI tools (Copilot and Gemini)
✍️ Scaffolded Narrative Writing: A complete writing process built around character backstories, using a Past vs. Present grammar focus to ensure students produce high-quality written texts.
🎲 The Finale — Dungeon Crawl: A whole-class role-playing session where students use their created characters to solve problems, make decisions, and communicate entirely in English. (Yes, you get to be the Dungeon Master. It's as fun as it sounds.)
What You Receive
✅ 14+ complete, step-by-step lesson plans ✅ Print-ready student booklets: character sheets, writing drafts, challenge trackers ✅ Differentiated readings at two levels ✅ Professional evaluation rubrics for oral interaction and writing ✅ Multimedia resources: curated videos, Kahoots, and digital tool links ✅ Full compatibility with or without technology
ESL Competencies Covered
This unit is designed to evaluate all three core ESL competencies:
🗣️ Oral Interaction (C1) — Continuous spontaneous speaking through roleplay, d20 dice games, and team-based decision-making
📚 Reinvests Understanding of Texts (C2) — Reading comprehension activities focused on D&D mechanics and backstory structures
📝 Writes Texts (C3) — A complete writing process from brainstorming through peer feedback to final draft
