What I've learned


Well I have finally finished the unit.I did my paperprototyping and recorded it.This unit has been very interesting beacuse Abby Taylor came here and talked to us.This class is really learning because I learn more and more every day.I have leared that there is a basket ball cout in the supreme court.That was amazing because my game is on basketball and the Judical branch of goverment.The judical branch of goverment deals with the courts like the supreme court.I have really leared alot. I leared that the first admenment deals with students rights for example freedom of speech.My game is going very well so far I think that the people who play this game will really learn alot.They will mostly learn about the first admenment.There will be two cases on my game and the cases are dealing with the principal and the student Cassy.I have learned alot so far and I am really looking forward to learning more.

I am finally finished with my paperprototying.I have learned alot in this unit.I learned what the first admenment included such as (Freedom of speech) things like that.I also learned what plandiff and defindent meant.Plandiff means the one who filed the case.Defindent means the one person that the filer filed againt.(Example)-Lets say Mr.Cambpell told me that I couldn't wear my favorite country music artist shirt.So I take him to court I am the Plantiff and Mr.Cambpell is the defindent.I liked this unit mostly because Aby Taylor came here to Sandy River to talk to the Globaloria students .She works for Sandra O'Connor which they both are part of the Supreme court.As you can tell my game is on basket ball.Aby Taylor told me that there was a basket ball court in the Supreme Court that really shocked me.The thing that i got really confused with was when my game was turning into a quiz game and that was begging to agervate me.Aby Taylor and the two people from New York City was the ones who helped me get my game back strigted up.They gave me some advice about Civivcs epecially Aby Taylor.They told us that there is a compition that students can enter that is in Globaloria and every one that pretisapates will be given something everyone will me given a a letter from our govener Mr.Joe Manshone.That is also interesting to me.Well this unit has been very fun and exicating.I have learned alot in this unit.I enjoyed this alot.I am looking forward to the next unit.I loved Aby Taylor's games I really liked supreme decision the most tough.

My Game



Well my game is going great so far I am almost finished with drawing it out on paper it.My games's topic is basketball.Well my game is related to civics because it is on the three branches of goverment mainly the judical branch though.When playing my game ,kids in 5th and 6th grade level will learn a litlle more about the goverment and how it works.They will mainly learn how the judical branch works by being asked questions.For example they will be asked a question some thing like this one,What type of court does the judical branch handle.Well the way I am putting this it sounds like this game is gonna be all learning and know fun.But it's not, it will be a basket ball game and each team(PLAYER) will be asked a question and the question will be based on the (JUDICAL BRANCH OF GOVERMENT).That is how the kids will learn more about civics.My game fits in the Function part of civics knowledge framework.It fits in this part beacuse it is based on the three branches of goverment.Function means how the goverment works.As me and you know the Judical branch makes the laws.

Freedom of Speech


Well Freedom of Speech means alot.I think that you should me able to say what you want when you want but only to a limit.There is lots of restrictions tough when it comes to school.I mean there is a limit what you can wear to school.I like that kids isn't allowed to wear shorty shorts and shirts with bad things on them.I mean shorty shorts are not ment for school I don't think beacuse I think they show to much.So I truly agree with that rule.Shrits with bad things on them what I mean by that is I don't think students schould be allowed to wear shirts with cuss words,dirty pictures ,or drugs and achol on them.So that is another rule I truly agree with .There is two rules that I dislike tough I hate the rule know flipflops and tanktops.My opinion is I see nothing at all wrong with flipflops.I know Mr.Campbell thinks that people was getting there feet hurt in them.I think that is just the chance you take and if students wated to wear flipflops I would see nothing wrong with that.Tanktops I see nothing wrong with tanktops eather I mean as long as nothing is showing I don't see why we can't wear them.Well lets say Mr.Campwell comes up to me and says I forbid you to wear that Trace Adkins bad t-shirt tomorrow.That's my favorite shirt I say and I say I don't understand why I can't wear it beacuse it doesn't have anything bad on it .I say I have the right Mr.Campbell to wear my t-shirt it is in the first addmenment.That you are allowed to express your self.That t-shirt is my favorite shirt and in tells the kind of music I like to listen to.Which mean it expresses me.Now I am gonna tell you a little thing about locker search.Let's say a student goes and tells Mr.Campbell that I have drugs in my locker and he says I am gonna go search it well I could under stand that that gives Mr.Campbell a reason.Now lets say Mr.Campbell comes up to me and says Heather I need to search your locker and I say why and he says know reason then I don't think that would be acceptable.I truly understand that there is clothing rules in school and we have to follow them.

Imanging your game Unit




I enjoyed the Imanging your game unit.I learned how to do text boxes on flash.My games title is gonna be called The Branch Game.The Branch game is gonna be fun and learning to.It is gonna teach you about the three brances of goverment.It is also gonna be fun because you are gonna be playing basket ball while they are learning.How you are gonna learn is when the game begins one team will be picked to anser a question.The question the team will be asked will be based on the Judical Branch of goverment.If that team gets the question right they will get to take the ball out.If the team gets the anser wrong the other team will be chosen to take the ball out.Once the ball is took out the first team to get ten points will win.They will win another Judical Branch question.If they get it wrong like I said before the other team gets to take it out.There will be three levels.First level first team to ten wins,Second level first team to get ten points,Third level first team to ten again.All the points will add up to thirty points.I plan for the game to look real like it is a real life basket ball game.I want the (SIX) players on each team to look like they are really running up and down the basketball court.They will really be shooting and they will have a scoreboard to keep up with there points.The back ground on my game will look just like a basketball court.I can't wait to design this game and so far I think Globoraloria is goning great.I am learning alot and I have a really good teacher Mrs.I Barker she seems to know alot about all of this stuff.I really learned alot in the Imanging your game unit.

What can I do







Well for some people sports is all they know.They never take time to study or do there home work.But not any more that is gonna change.The game I am gonna be designing is gonna be about basketball but it is also gonna be about the three branches of goverment.Don't get me wrong I love to play basketball,but when it comes to my school work I have to study and forget basketball sometimes.I am hoping to get to design a game about basketball.So there for I want to make it about the three branches of goverment so it dont make studying so boaring.I know learning can be very boaring so I am gonna try to make it a little bit funnier.I am going to make a basketball game.The game is gonna be based on the three branches of government, but mostly the Judical Branch.It is gonna be on life Stimlation Topic it is gonna be similar to the Dalfur is Dying game.The games background is gonna look like a basket ball court.The game is goona be sit up like this you have to use the arrow keys and the mouse and the space bar.This is how the branch game works.There is gonna be two teams of players.The players are really gonna be running and playing basketball.The first team to get ten pionts wins.When a team wins they win a Judical Branch question such as a civic question.They must have ten points before they get to anwser this question.Well if your team gets the question right they get to take the ball out if they get it wrong then the other team gets to take it out.Well once they take it out the game will begin again.When one team hits thirty points the game over.There will be a score board that keeps up with your score.To keep up with your points.When you make a basket it will atomatically keep your points. This is how I plan to make my game.I hope it works out and I would say it will if it is left up to Mr.Barker to help me I am so ready to design this game.I am gonna make the game like a 5th 6th grade leval so that kids that is in 5th and 6th grade will understand.I am think of s questions that i needed help with last year whan I was in 6th grade mabe these questions will help them.I really think The Branch game will help students with there schooling because I know last year if I would of had a game like this one to play it would of helped me alot.In this game the questions that the teams will be asked will be some questions that I needed help with last year.The questions will be 5th and 6th grade level questions.
