Do you know anyone that lives in the North East?
How about in New York City? 
Yes, I do know someone that lives in the North East. My aunt lives in the North East in New Jersey. I do not know anyone in my family that lives in New York City.
If you were to make a hidden object game about Frankenstorm, what would the setting for your game scene be?
The setting of the hidden object game would be close to the beach area and the homes that are really close to the beach.
What ten objects would you hide?
1. Cars
2. Bicycles
3. Sea Animals
4. Sea Weed
5. Tires
6. Stop Signs
7. Houses
8. Trees
9. Buses
10. Light Houses
What kind of information would your player learn from playing the game.
They will learn that it is way safer to stay as far away as they can from the storm will be best for you and your family.

Plan Game Scene

Some things in my game or that are gonna be related to my game topic are children because the main topic is about children and their health. Mostly all of the fast food restaurants are the most unhealthy things kids to eat like McDonald's, Popeyes, Sonic, Wendy's, Taco Cabana and many,many more! The most important thing in the game is the healthy foods like carrots, apples, green beans, bananas and many more fruits and vegetables! These are the most important things/items in the game.

Choose A Learning Topic

Obesity
My learning topic will be obesity and how it affects a huge percent of kids in the U.S. I think this game will be important to kids and their parents because it will help them stay on track with their health and help them inform their friends and family to stay healthy. I also think it is really important to make the rates go down for childhood obesity now!!

Class Dismissed

Who is Malala?
Malala Yousufzai is a fourteen year old girl from Pakistan.  She began speaking out against the Taliban when she was eleven years old. On Wednesday, she was shot by the Taliban and is now in critical condition. Many say she is very brave, but I think she is more like a hero for the Pakistan women trying to get their education and have the same rights as the men. 


Where does Malala live?

She lives in Swat Valley,Pakistan.  


What are the problems that Malala and her people face each day?

Some problems that Malala and her people face each day are that they could all be killed or seriously hurt every single day!! Or be separated and killed or turned against their own kind.  



*After January 15 girls must not go to school,otherwise the guardians and the school will be responsible



Concluding Thoughts
Why were Malala and her father so overcome with sadness and happiness when they returned to their home in Swat Valley?
They were so sad because there town was completly distroyed!!


What items was Malala most excited about finding when she returned to her home? 
She most excited to see her bed and her books for school.


Why were these items so precious to her? What do they symbolize?
They were so precious to her because they remind her of home and the books reminded her of her dreams to go to school and follow her dreams.


When did the school reopen?
The school reopened in August. 


How many schools remained closed? 
Over 200 schools didn't reopen in August.

Presidential Debate 1

My thoughts on the Presidential Debate is that they brought up many important topics that really need to be talked about and the debate was really interesting!

 Some issues that were brought up were, Healthcare, the economy,taxes, jobs,the government, Obama-care,education,reforms,the army,economic growth,dept, deficits,Medicare,Medicaid are just some of the issues brought up in the debate.

I understood that there are many problems in the economy and in many other places in the government.

Some of the language they use was confusing and some of the topics I didn't really know to much about since I'm young but mostly all of the debate was pretty understandable.

I think President Obama expressed his feelings and views because Mitt Romney kept repeating himself and didn't answer some of the questions and didn't really benefit elderly people! Romney also changed some of the things that he already said and made it really confusing!! So in-conclusion I think President Obama is in a better situation to continue being president!!

Play To Learn Part 1

I learned from these games that if you take a lot of time drawing and putting in the code for a game with make the game very fun and make many people want to play your game. I also learned that a game is more fun when you have to look for the correct answers!
Some ideas I got for my own games are putting a scavenger hint type game for the player to find hidden objects in the game. Another idea I got was to spent time on the characters and enemies so the game looks good to the player while playing.
