Two of my classes study a story (about chess and the way it can relate to life) from the book "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan. Prior to reading the story, the 8th grade classes created their own chess boards and pieces. The fact that they went over and beyond all expectations was evident as they brought in their creations on Monday morning. We went over the rules of the game and began playing. As they began to learn to play, the popularity grew. During study hall, many would grab their boards and play. Today during field day I looked over to find chess boards scattered about with players on either side.
