Thanks for the response. I'm guessing they can't see the score card? I think thats where I was confused... I thought that that was the handout they got. Becuase if they could see it, then there wouldn't be much to persuade. They would all say pick Coke this round or whatnot.
I think I'm getting it. I probably just have to look at it more. Thanks for the explanation.

Hi, I just bought your coke/sprite game, and I'm going to be honest... I don't get it. I'm clearly missing the obvious point, so I was hoping you can explain it to me. I understand how predicting ties in, but I don't really understand how they're making inferences. And I assume the rules don't allow the kids to strategize with each other what they're planning to choose, so is it basically just a game of chance? I'm sorry, I'm sure there's more too it than what I'm seeing right off the bat, but I'm clearly missing it. I'd appreciate any further directions you can offer. Thanks!

The inference comes in because the students are trying to guess what their opponents will do. They are thus trying to infer and guess what their group members will do. They can then try to persuade and make new inferences as the game goes on. I allow my students to stratagize and try to persuade other members that is where the persuasion, inferring and so on comes out. If the students are just playing the game with no talking or strategizing the inferring would not happen. The fun of using the game is that the students are actively engages and are trying to infer things just like when they read. I know that at first it does seem like a game of chance and it will for the students until they play through the first few rounds. The fun part starts after they understand how the game is played. I hope this clarifys things a little. Please email (jessilcaldwell at live.com) me if you have any other concerns and I will try to help.
