About My Topic

My topic is about the Rastafarian movement

This issue interests me because Robert Nesta Marley is a Rastafarian and I listen to his music

I want people to learn how the Rastafarian movement began because it can tell some people about there background

This issue needs to be addressed because it was a big movement in the 60

's to the 70's

March of the penguins

What challenges do the penguins have to overcome?
The penguins have to overcome the brutal weather and hunger.

How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?
Their habitat threatens their life because when it's cold they can freeze to death but after the winter is over it's summer and they can swim the seals are looking for food.

What types of adaptations do penguins need in order to survive brutal winters as well as predators?
The baby penguins have to gain muscle to swim back and the parents have to overcome eating and predators do too.

Why is there a period of time in which there is practically no sunlight? What affect can no sunlight have on this region of Antarctica?

How could climate change negatively impact the mating ritual of the Emperor Penguins?

It can affect them because they can miss mating season

What was the best part of this topic? I would say the best part of making the game was finishing and uploading it.

911 Survivors 2011

How old were you on September 11, 2001? 3 years old.

When did you first learn about the attacks and who explained the events to you? I really heard about it in 5th grade but I really learned about it in 6th grade.

2. How do you feel about it? I don't like because you are still killing innocent.

4. How can you make sure that your web games tell the whole story or teach a lesson in an honorable way? Comment and make an suggestion or suggestions.

2 Single Story 2011

''Danger of a Single Story''

1. What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? To be fed one story about a community and not a full story about the community.

2. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community? I have heard stuff about East side all my life like drugs,raping,killings, and bad schools but what they don't know is we have a college prep school right in the East side, and what they are missing is to visit the East side and really see what is happening instead of being biased.

3. Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community? How California has all of these gangs,killings, just nothing but bad stuff but what people fail to understand is that's only one part and it's really not like that anymore.

4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? Doing a game that tells you about all of the community instead of one neighborhood.

It shows bullying on another level we all think know bullying happens in school but it happens online too. It can lead to dipression and thoughts of cuicide it has become such a problem that they made it a law in some states.

I think the new Ds 3D is cool because it's 3D and you don't need glasses. You can still play games from the regular Ds. It still has a touch screen and you can turn off the 3D if you want.

I would pick Chris Johnson to be on my game because he's the best running back in the N.F.L And that's really hard because the N.F.L is like a league full of allstars. When they are in a season they do good in training but when the season is over they train even more like Adrian Peterson he plays for the Minnesota Vikings he pulls 8 parashutes. If I tryed to do that I would fly away.

I think the Japan disaster was was very bad if I could help I would but the only thing we can do is send in money. I think every school should hold a fundraiser. If this happened in America buildings would have been back up in months.

The new PSP is cool but I wouldn't use it because it's almost all the way touch. I would play it because You have to use less buttons. I wouldn't like the back of the PSP because it's like having two controllers. Another reason I would like to play the new PSP is because it's touch screen.

I think the math games were kind of fun but it needed more action. And they should have had sports games and lots of others genres. I think if the math games would have had more games people would have asking the teacher if they could have been on it for a little bit longer.

You can play math games at this web sight

Mad Hot Ballroom

What does the word "teamwork" mean to you? Teamwork means to me is helping one another and communicating, and collaborating

How do you see the kids working together? By moving to one another beat and by communicating.

How important was teamwork for these students? The team work was good because if they didn't have team work they wouldn't be anything.


What do you think is the main message that these students should take away from this experience? Anything you do always try your hardest and don't give up.


How will you work together with your teammates in Globaloria? By helping them when they don't know anything they don't know and with what I don't know I'm going to ask them if they know
