Imagine Your Own Game

My Topic is: Bullying


What 2 game genres do you think would allow you to explore this topic in a fun and engaging way?


Genre 1: Strategy
Genre 2: Adventure
Imagine and describe one game idea that incorporate your topic into one of these genres.


My game idea is: My game idea is that their is going to be a kid and and a bully you get to pick witch ever one you want then you are going to bully the kid but then the bully gets in big trouble.If you are the kid is still going to be the same thing because the bully is still going to bully the kid and is also going to get in trouble.The controls are going to be the arrow keys and if you are the bully there is the principal and its going to ask you questions to see if you are a bully or the kid is laying because he told on you. Also I`am going to add some music and sounds to it and I want the people to talk to the person that is playing it.You have to win the game by passing all the levels and earning points and it will tell you how much energy you have and you will have 100 energy per level and waste 5 for  everything they do to the kid or when the kid bully's someone else the same thing its going to happen with the energy thing.

♥♥♥♥New Schedule♥♥♥♥

♥♥♥♥ Well it feels fun because you get to meet new people. Also we changed the order of are classes. But its also sad because you don't see some of your friends. Also I don't even have some of my friends in one of my classes. ♥♥♥♥

Imagining your game

My topic is bullying and yesterday I was playing strategy games. I could compare them  because you have to use your strategy to defend your self. Don't let the bully's get to you like that. And then the bully's would not get to you and wont hurt you that was my compare with my topic and genre.

Genre

My favorite genre is action .It is my favorite because they are fun.A fact about my genre is that it show you to have a lot of fun with the games.

Daiary of Anne Frank

 ☻☺☻Some thoughts about the movie Anne Frank are that the movie is really good because they hide in their dad`s attic and they cant make noise until a certain time. Also is a exited movie because your like whats going to happen to them. Its also a mystery because your like what if the workers tell on them and they all get killed. Those are my thoughts for right know on the movie Anne Frank.When we finished watching the movie Anne Frank it was sad because they had been living in the attic for two years and they Caught them living in the attic and they go killed. Here are some links      Anne Frank    Otto Frank     Margot Frank

My favorite part of the mini game project so far is when we made the bunny move up , down , right , and  left. My least favorite part is when I had gotten mess up and ruined all my work but then Ms.Valdez helped me fix it.What I would like to learn is to do the steps so we could finish the mini game project and so we could move on. Also I would like to learn not to mess up because that already happened to me for not paying attention.

The Whole Week

What I been working on is to get information for my social issue.Something hard or challenging is when I am looking for information about my social issue because some of it repeats the same information I already have.A nother thing that is challenging for me is when you dont pay close attention and you get lost I hate that because I mess my work all up thats why I have to pay close attention .I'm looking forward of learning more information about my social issue. I want to learn more about my social issue because its cool to learn new stuff. Bullying is a social issue I want to learn because I don't want people to prevent it or for me to prevent it.The mini clip project is something we are working on I think that is helping us. For me it sounds interesting  because we are learning how to do a mini movie.It is also fun because I have never done this in my life.Rigth now we are in step three were we started to move the carrot I cant wait till the next steps so when we are finished it will look cool.Today we are going to do step four well we started yesterday when we put the bunny in.Also what we did yesterday is that we were trying to make it move down , right and left.Today I hope we finish step four and go on with five and six .

Social Issue

My social issue is bullying this is were I got my notes
http://www.brainpop.com/health/personalhealth/bullying/
http://youthviolence.edschool.virginia.edu/bullying/what-is-bullying.html
My NotesBullying is when a person does or says something that makes you look bad and hurt your feelings.They could make fun of you ,leaving you out of activities,and taking your stuff with out permission or they could force you to do something or  they could physically hurt you.Anything someone does that makes you feel bad or unsafe is bullying.If you are getting bullied you have to use your head and understand why someone is picking on you they are picking on you because they think it makes them feel bigger and you smaller.A tip is when they bully you then just walk away and ignore them or gather up with a bunch of friends.Just tell them that they`re making fun of you and that its hurting you they might not even realize.
It is estimated that 160,000 children miss school every day due to fear of attack or intimidation by other students. Source: National Education Association.
American schools harbor approximately 2.1 million bullies and 2.7 million of their victims.
One in seven students is either a bully or victim.
Students report incidents of bullying as a problem at their school.
Mean behavior among kids.
 In a poll of 232 kids in kindergarten through 8th grade at a Connecticut elementary school, every child claimed to have been the victim of at least one schoolmate’s or sibling’s meanness in the previous month.
BULLYING MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. TOO MANY CHILDREN ARE
BEING EMOTIONALLY OR PHYSICALLY INJURED DUE TO MEANNESS.
The best way to help children not become victims of bullies is by teaching them bully-proofing skills. Parents Do Make A Difference has simple but powerful strategies that help children learn to assertively and confidently stand up to bullying and teasing.
As a culture, we are focusing new attention on childhood bullying and harassment. As we watch children being crushed by bullying, we often feel powerless. No more! There are ways to stop bullying, based on decades of research.

According to world-wide research, 50% reductions in rates of bullying are possible.

There is little need to describe why people want to stop childhood bullying. Youth who bully frequently during adolescence are more likely to be aggressive and to have criminal records in adulthood. Bullied children may grow up with diminished self-confidence.
We sometimes see bullying as an inevitable part of childhood. Yet, according to world-wide research, 50% reductions in rates of bullying are possible. The Stop Bullying Now intervention is based on the work of many researchers in bullying prevention, including Norway's Dan Olweus, England's Smith and Sharp, the USA's Dorothea Ross, Canada's Wendy Craig and Debra Pepler, Australia's Ken Rig by, and on social worker Stan Davis's forty years of experience with children, families, and schools.Bullying can be defined as the use of one's strength or status to intimidate, injure, or humiliate another person of lesser strength or status. Bullying can be categorized as physical, verbal, or social. Physical bullying involves physical injury or threat of injury to someone, while verbal bullying refers to teasing or insulting someone. Social bullying refers to the use of peer rejection or exclusion to humiliate or isolate a victim. Bullying must be distinguished from other forms of peer aggression or conflict; bullying always involves a power imbalance between the bully and the victim .

☻☺☻☺☻Communication☺☻☺☻☺☻

Some ways that Internet is used for communication's is when you haven't seen you friend and you want to communicate and you could go somewhere and chill.Also if your cousins live in a nother city  or country you could talk to them by Internet. A nother way to communicate in the Internet is to get invited to something because they don't always know were you live.The one that is more important to me is the one to communicate with my cousins.It is important to me because you cant even see them in  real life migth as well talk to them by the Internet but if I  get to see them ones I will still talk to them.☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻

♥♥♥♥ The thing I will try to change so I could be healthier is to stop eating hamburgers and eat vegetables and fruits and other healthy food. Also we need to stop buying meat because that's how the animals die or get hurt  they also have the rights to be alive.Also the meat hurts people because some meat has infection that the animals have like that 2 year old kid  died because of the burger he ate it was sad. That is the things I will try to change. ♥♥♥♥

Dirt The Movie

What I learned about the movie was that dirt is important because its has minerals and it helps the plants grow and also it helps grow are fruits and are vegetables .Dirt the movie was a cool movie because it showed me new things that I wouldn't know with out watching that movie.The won I liked better was food ink because I learned  more.What did I learned what I learned was that the hamburgers arn`t just one kind of cow there is at least 100 little tiny Pisces of different cow in there and you never know if the cow had a infection or was sick and if it does you could get really sick. also it said that its better for you to go buy your food at a farm instead of a market store.☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻☺☻

What have I learned?

What I learned so far this week about social issues are global warming is affecting are EARTH .I also learned that we have to recycle.And we have to keep are EARTH clean and safe .We have to stop all that pollution we are causing.
♥♥♥♥♥Keep Earth Clean ♥♥♥♥♥

The least affected game is...

The least effective game is nothing but net.All you learn is to throw a basketball into about 10 hoops.Well i didn't learn anything all I learned was that i know to throw a ball into hoops.Its genre is sports yea its in the right place. The game does look good but doesn't teach you anything but the game works well.All the things I want to learn is to do it perfect and put music.♥♥♥♥

Most Effective Learning Game

The game that taught me the most was What would you do.The game explores the topic of preventing teen pregnancy and to make good decisions.By playing that game I learned to make good decisions.The game is an adventure game yes because its teaching goodness.The game does look good.The game was clear of what I had to do as a player because it gave you a question and three answers and you have to pick the best one.I will change the game by having the player customize its own self.What I will like to learn to do is to but music and a cool background and let the player customize their own self's.

Social Issues

A social issue important to me is the enviorment.Its important because we have to take care of it and we have to clean all the trash.Also we are causing pollution.We have to take good care of the ♥earth♥.Its realy important to take care of ♥earth♥ I don't want to see ♥earth♥ destroy apart.♥ :( ♥
