Usually you will start your maze by setting the scene.
Writing a good scenario for the maze will help engage your students in the
material, make it more compelling, and ultimately help learning. Some
characteristics of good scenarios are
- Realism: the scenario sounds like something that could actually
happen. Perhaps you have taken it from an authentic case, so it is
something that did happen, more or less.
- Detailed: one key element of scenarios that make them seem real and
compelling is sufficient detail. Some of it may even seem superfluous, but
if it helps make the case compelling, then it is worth it.
- Relevance: clearly the case should be relevant to your audience. While
students might be willing to spend some time on a case that is outside
their experience, they will be drawn more surely into one that directly
related to their own situation.
