In this blog I'm going to tell you about our game that we hope to make this year. We are doing our game on Anne Frank. It will help kids learn a little about her and how to write a journal.
WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.) We are making this for 8th grade student's, they must be able to know how to write a good journal.
WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!) It will teach them how to write a jornal and how often you should write in it.
WHERE does your game happen? In the 1800s
Describe the world you will design for your game.Our game will be designed in the old days.
How will this setting add to the learning experience? It will add learning cause our game is about Anne Frank.
HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic? It will tell about the girl and about your journal and how you can compare.
What happens in the world that helps the player learn?It helps them learn cause one day they might have to write a journal.
How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game? It helps them save Anne Frank and her Diary.
WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz? Cause it doesn't act like a quiz game.
In playing to learn the game that I didn't learn anything was Saving the Animals because the only thing you did was save the animals from the oil. The lesson was not to put oil in the ocean. It is drawn alright and it works just fine, but the test hit doesn't work too great. The game I learned the most from was Andrea's Rockin Game because how to reduce fractions by being timed at the same time. It is good for students because you don't have time to put it in your caculator. It works just fine and the drag and drop works great. You only know what to do if you read the directions.
Coming back to Globaloria was fun. I knew I would get a new partner and get to make a whole new game. I was kinda sad because we don't have Mr.Lester anymore, but Mrs.Garrett is cool too. I like being back in globaloria cause I get to make a new game and having a new partner to see what they are like. My partner this year is Lillian. We are going to great this year I feel it. This year I'm going to improve by getting a little help and not make my game sloppy and bad. I'm glad i got back in globaloria becuase it is fun and kinda easy. The only thing I find hard is the codes and how they go in order. I can't wait to start on our games, but first we have to do our mini game.
This is my Final Blog til next year!!!! I'm so excited for the summer, but I'm sad to leave this year behind. I hope that next year is as great as this year. I'm gonna do globaloria next year and it might be my last year with it unless they get it at the high school. I have had a great year with globaloria. It has been a BLAST. I don't know if I want to have the same partner next year. I'm hoping we change groups kinda, but kinda not. This was a great experiance fir the first time. I can't wait to do this again next year. I can't wait til I get to make a new game and might get to meet new kids.
I think I did good on the West Test. Well I hope I did do good or great. The math and language was the easiest part of the test. The science and social studies was the hardest part out of all four parts. I think I did very good on the math even though we had 3 different math teachers. I think I might could have done better on the science and social studies part, but I don't know cause it was hard.
We did great on our presentation because they gave us good comments. I was nervous at first but I got used to it by the end. Their comments were"They said that it will be great if we added our surgery scene", but I don't know if I we can get the blood to come out of BillyJean. I hope we can, but I just don't know if we can. Our game is good, but they said that we needed to shorten our about integers scene. We need to do a lot of work to our game. They gave us great comments. I Think our game is good, But it could better.
We have made so much progress in our game from my last blog. I have learned how to do hit test and buttons. I have almost got our game done. We have to do a code to make the numbers loop back around. It is very diffcult to do this but I have tried and tried and won't quit til I succeed. We can have a good game, but one of the scenes diodn't work so we changed it. I like our game but, I don't know if everyone will like it. I can't wait til our presentation because I wanna meet all the New York people and show them our fantastic game made by Fantastic Faith's.
