My teams topic is about protecting the wolfs from being extinct.The important thing about our game is to teach kids to protect their wild life.We made up with our game pretty quickly because we had the same game topic.we decided  our game topic easily because we had the same one.Me and my partner are splitting every job in half i do half she does half. The drawings   were going to do separably  and when we do the the programming we paste them all in the same flash page.The kind of research that we did was general information .A example is how long they live what they eat.....etc.You play our game by using the arrow keys and space bar to move.The player has to get the wolf to its cave avoiding hunters ,traps and,bears.I think the brush tool and the bucket tools are going to be the most use full.The most difficult  curriculum topic has been game facts

Boombot

I am writing my game for people who are between 8 and 16 years old. The person who plays my game must be able to make the Boombot through the portal. Since my topic is about trajectory the player must already know about how  to aim. 

WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!) 


My players will learn about the details of my topic, such as trajectory and how to aim. 




WHERE does your game happen? 


Describe the world you will design for your game. 




The environment for my game will look like maze with allot of space and some obstacles and it will have a portal . 




How will this setting add to the learning experience? 


This setting will add to the learning of my game by  showing that the TNT will make him go higher . 

What happens in the world that helps the player learn? 


The environment of my game will help the player learn by  putting obstacles and things that help them in the game. 


How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game? 


The player will need to use their knowledge of  making the Boombot going through the portal from the other levels in order to pass the other harder levels. 


WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz? 


A game is a better way of understanding my topic than a quiz because you get to interact and have fun at the same time. 

• WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.) For  5 and 6th graders.
• WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)

It will teach kids about endangered wolfs and why theyre endangered.

  • Describe the world you will design for your game.
  • How will this setting add to the learning experience?

in forest of yellow stone where hunters are illegally hunting.

• HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
  • What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
  • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?

I learned that Darfur is a very dangerous place.In the game you can chose different players and they all have a different speeds do to their age if your older you cant run as fast to show how different the characters are in real life. Therese also a part where you have to maintain your own camp and it shows you what  a Darfur persc has to do in real life.You can also write a letter to the president to tell him to help the people in Darfur.I think its important to try to help  the less fortunate in any way that i can.


here are some links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_is_Dying

Stevs Jobs

Stevs Jobs was really  to me because he inspired me try and try again.Whithought Stevs Jobs we woudnt most of the technology that we have today.Here is a article about him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs.

I learned that action games are more interesting. I liked the  graphics and easy instructions.
 How to make the game more interesting?  How to make the game more appealing to younger kids? How to improve the graphics?

be the change

When I was  part of  be the change I felt happy I was helping the trees.I would also want to be part of planting trees and other kind of plants.I went to a park to put mulch around trees for be the change.
I practically tried all of the jobs watering the plants,caring the wheel barrel, spreading the mulch and,putting mulch on wheel barrel.Be the change was kinda fun.

Minigame

Making a mini game is challenging but it is also allot of fun .The hardest part about it was putting in a score keeper it took  me about three days to get it right.The easiest part was the collision detection.The best part was felling the success of doing a step by yourself.

Children Of Heaven

Children Of Heaven is about this kid named Ali and his life and Ali lives in Iran. His family is poor when he loses his sisters shoes he has to share shoes with  her.Then his mom gets sick shara Ali's sister has to do  most of the house work..Ali then helps his dad with work by spraying trees they finally got someone  hire them when they were coming back home they fell down and got hurt.Then Ali entered a race to win his sister some shoes of you want the shoes you have to be in third place but he got in first place.
His family was way different from my version of a Muslim family i thought they were more violent.Muslims are actually pretty calm from my prospective.Ali is nice giving and thoughtful.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslimsthisllink tells you about Muslims and life's style

what happend

I think  Osama Bin Ladin  started  9-11  because    he  wanted  to  get his  name  out  and  get  noticed.I  want  to  know  what  were  the  terrorist  names.  I  also  want  to  know  how  the  terrorist  trained.

join the community

 A single  story  is  when  people create  a  stereo  type  about  a  race,ethic groups,age,gender,and  where you  live.A  example would  be  all  boys  like  foot ball.A  single  story  in  my  community is  that  all  boys  there  like  soccer.It is  not  true  because  I do  not  like  soccer.A  single  story  in  my friends  community  is  that  there  is  only  African  Americans  there .That  is  not  true  because  alot  of  diferent  races  live  there.If  I  were  to  create a  game  about  streotypes  and  what  type  of  stereo types there  are  .It  is  also  show  how  all  people  are  the  same  nomater  what  race  they  are.

I  have  learned  that  cyber  bullying  is  a  sereous  thing  and  you  should  not  mess  around  with  it.Even  do  I  have  never  been  cyber  bullyed  I  have  been  bullyed  phisicly  and  verbally.If  I  ever  saw  a  kid  being  cyber  bullyed  I  would  tell  a  trusted  adult  like  a  teacher  or  the  web  master.like  for  insample  the  movie  cyber  bully  they did  so  many  things wrong  that  I  ca  evenkeep  countnt . 

First week of school

In  my  first  week  of  school  I  was  kinda  nervous  because  I  didn't  know  where  any  of  my  classes  were.Most of  the  new  teachers  were  nice  I  even  got  to  see  some  of  my  old  teachers .I  like  all  of  my classmates  and  I  haven't  had  arguments with  any  of  them. I  also  got  to  see  some  old  friends.I  am  looking  forward  to  creating  a plat  form  game  in  flash.I am  also  looking  forward to  drawing  in  flash it's  going  to  be  fun .  

NASA

Last  Friday  I  went  to   NASA   it  was  a  long   trip. My  mom  went  with  me   to  NASA   it  was  a  benefit  for  me   because   I   didn't  have  to  see  a  boring   movie   that   I   would    not  like .Thanks  to  my  mom   I  didn't    have to  see  it  .   Me   and   my  mom   tried  allot   of  cool  machines. By  the  time  the  movie  was  done   the  other   kids  didn't   have  time  to  play. 

Apollo 13

Me  and   my    class  watched  Apollo 13   it   was  boring   in  the   begining   but   it  got   more   interesting  as  the  movie  went  on .I  was  inthousiastic   to  see  what    hapens  next   in  the   movie 
The  mission   symbol  is   of   a   horse  flying  throu  space   I  think  it  looks   cool  and  weird  at  the  same  time   ☺ =D  : )  .Apollo 13   was   the   7th   maned  mission  in  the   American Apollo space program .The mission was launched on April 11, 1970 at 13:13   it  looked   cool  in  the  movie.

The Lightning Thief

We  read  the  The Lightning Thief   yesterday  it   was    funny  and  exiting   at   the  same  time  .
The   exiting  part  was   when   Mrs.Dods   turned   into   that   creature  and   percy  kills  her  with   the  sword.The  funny  part   was  when   Nancy  was  thrown   into    the  water  fountain I  was  lafing  when   that   happened .My  personal  opinion  is  that  the  book   is   exciting   and  interesting .
Hopefully   when  we  finish  the book  we  watch  the  movie  .

There    are   allot   of  types   of    cars     my   favorite   type   of    car   is   a    sports   car.  My    dad    has   a  candy  red  suburban  .My     mom   has   a   white     Chevrolet   avalanche.I   think   both   my  moms    and    dads    cars     are   really   cool  because    of    the    colors    of    the    cars.So    I   want   a  car    because   I   want    to   drive    around   in   it .

My Game Is Finished!

I   have  learned   allot  on  flash   I   have   also  learned     allot   of  codes  that    can   help   me    in  the   future.I   think   it  was   a  great    idea   to   work    alone  because    I    got   more  work     done   .
I    learned    how   to   trace     pictures   in    flash    it   is    really    easy.I    also   learned     how  to     do   hit  test   on   flash  .   It    was    easy   to    put    on.I   finished    my   game   on   time    because   I stayed   after  school.In    my   perspective     my    game    is    really   fun.I   also   got    nominated    but    I'm   not  a   finalist.  The    prize    that    we   won   is    a   trip   to   NASA.
I   just   can't    wait   til    we  go  to   NASA .

Fast Five

Last  sunday    I  went   to    see   Fast    Five    it  was  awesome   and     funny   at  the    same    time  ☺☻  .   I Went   to  see   it  with     my   dad   and    my    Little     brother .Since   the  theater  was   full  we  had  to    sit   separated    my   Little   brother   with   my  dad   and   I   sat    alone.It   didn't   mater    because    we    were   close   together .At   the    end   Dom   kills  all  the    cops   and   him   and     his   crew   get  $100 million  .

Stand and Deliver

It is  about  a  teacher   who  wanted     his  class  to  take  the  A.P  calculus  test.I  think  the   movie  teaches   you   about   not  to  be  racic  or   judge  people  because   of    their   race  and   from  where  they  come  from.I   also   like  that   he  was  determend   to  teach   those   kids   A.P  calculus  because  it  must  have  been   really  hard.I   also   like   that   the   kids   give   up   their   summer   to    learn    A.P  calculus  with  Mr. Escalante.I  also   cant   beleave    that     Mr. Escalante  gave   up   most    of   his   time   to   spend   with    his   family    to   teach   those   kids.

iPads for Kids

It   is  not   that   2nd   graders   are   getting   iPads   because  the  sixth  graders  need   them    more   for    more   efficient   learning ☺☺☻ .The    sixth  graders  also  need  the    iPads   to   prepare   for   TAKS   ☺☻.  I   also   think   a   iPad    would   help   us    learn    better   because    they   are   really  cool.A    down   side  about   iPads    is   that   kids   could   get     on   You tube     and   watch    videos.
It    would   be    cool    if    our    school   had   iPads  ☺☺☻☻.
