+# Object Oriented Programming Quicksheet Assessment
+
+Cory, 
+
+I appreciate your thoughtful quicksheet. I very much agree with you that 
+"The concept of 'objects' might be taken very literally, ... [but] an object can 
+represent something less concrete." This is actually a significant pedagogical 
+challenge, especially when students learn about OOP through canned examples, but don't 
+actually build anything. As you note, games are a lovely context for teaching OOP, 
+not least because the classes they invite range from concrete (e.g. a die) to abstract
+(e.g. a goal).
+
+A few thoughts on pedagogy: Scratch sstrongly (but implicitly) embraces OOP, with its
+controlling metaphor of actors on a stage, interacting through message-passing. What
+would it mean to *prepare your students to learn OOP in the future,* even if the 
+term never comes up in your class? And if you ever want to use the games lab (with
+a more performant iteration of `retro-games`!), or anything else from MWC, have at at. 
+I'll give you hand with infrastructure if it's helpful.
