I use this unit as a two-block period (about 180 minutes total). Some students continue making activities even after the formal lessons are complete.
This used as a unit in Intro to Programming (renamed-- Exploring Computer Science) but would fit well into a game design course as well.

From their reading and research, they are asked to craft an argumentative plan that explains and supports their position, acknowledges the perspectives and positions of others, and uses evidence gleaned through close reading and analysis to support their claims.
