=Introduction= You and your arch rival have been hired at opposing computer programming companies. MECC, the company that created Oregon Trail, has sent out a request to computer game programmers to create a game to replace Oregon Trial. The only requirement they’ve given is that the new game needs to be based around a novel written by an American author.

This is a **HUGE** project that will bring millions of dollars to your company. Your company has decided to use The Grapes of Wrath as the base for the new game. The higher-ups have heard you talking about how much you love The Grapes of Wrath around the office, and have decided to appoint you head of the team responsible for developing the new game.

And guess what, your arch rival has been appointed to lead the opposing company’s developing team.

You will need to work with your team to create a fun, interesting, and creative presentation for the CEO and board of directors of MECC. You need to convince them that your game is the best and leave your rival in the dust where he belongs.

=Task=

You need to use Google Earth to make a “rough draft” of the game you would like to create for MECC. The game needs to have important events from the novel pinpointed and explanations for why these events are worth mentioning. You will need to include external links in the informational boxes to blog entries you have created for students to read and learn. You will need to provide character options and profiles for each of the main characters in the novel. You will also have to include informational text boxes with excerpts from the novel and provide at least one example of important literary devices.

=Conclusion=

The CEO and board of diectors agree that you're the best person to develope their new game. You've displayed indepth knowledge of your product and you're presentation was fun and creative. Now go to the office and gloat, you deserve it. :)
