Story-Toy-(Puzzle)-Game

In this quest I need to create to two puzzles that relate to the story I developed in My-Story-Toy-Puzzle-Game and created two possible toys for in Story-(Toy)-Puzzle-Game. The two puzzles I’ve selected for this quest are the foam toy selected for Story-(Toy)-Puzzle-Game quest and a mahjongg puzzle.

The above toy can be converted to a puzzle that would require the learner to complete a writing activity after each piece is placed.Depending on the score the learner will be directed to different areas/levels of difficulty.
The mahjongg puzzle has the ability to be more flexible for the learner. The tiles can be matched by type of writing genre the learner is interested or the level of difficulty the learner wishes engage in. (visit http://www.addictinggames.com/puzzle-games/mahjongg.jsp to see levels of difficulty idea) To anticipate the learner who wants to do the easy writing instead of the challenging writing a placement test will determine at which level the leaner has access to.

Both puzzles can be designed using any or all of the following:
Matching a poem/poet to a specific poetry type
Using images to represent different writing genres (examples sci fi, fiction, non-fiction) match the image with genre
Match famous quote to the author

After a successful match the learner will complete an assignment using one of the following:
