The game entitled 'The Patchworker' allows students to work on their sentence structure, and the ways in which they form sentences. This particular learning object is a practice object as it allows for 'Drill and feedback, with practice,' as it is an 'educational game or representation that allows for practice and learning of certain procedures,' (Churchill, 2007, pg. 484).
The benefits of using this articular learning object as opposed to the traditional way of teaching are that the activity is more hands on and interactive. Students are able to see how their sentences are forming, and are able to go back and try again if they make a mistake. The colours surrounding each word allow students to differentiate between each word as they create their sentences.
