Reflect on Game Idea

• WHO are you designing your game for? This game is for kids that are being abused or neglected at home or any where else. This could also be for people that know somebody in this situation and could help them.

• WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? My game will teach people how tell if a child is being abused or neglected ( like the signs of it happening ), it will also teach people how to stop child abuse.

• WHERE does your game happen? My game will be taken place at school and at little kids homes where the action is taking place. It will add to the learning experience because it will show that this can happen anywhere.

• HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic? It will help they be aware of whats happening at home or any where else.

• WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz? Its better than a quiz because the game is visual and it will give information as you are playing the game.

Civics: National Politics

My thoughts about this campaign video was that it was really strange! First of all why would this guy "Block" be on this campaign video ad and not Herman Cain? He isn't the person running for president. Then why would you show someone smoking on a presidential ad?! Then he says," get the United States back", like were we held under hostage? I don't think so. And the end of this ad was so wierd, him and that really creepy smile like 'ewww... Get away!'

March of the Penguins

What challenges do the penguins have to overcome?

They have to overcome the challenge of starvation and predators.

How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?

On some days its super cold and others its not as cold, and then there could be a big snow storm.

What types of adaptions do penguins need in order to survive brutal winters and predators?

They need to all stick together because in the cold they can keep each other warm and if a predator comes to attack them, they can all fight them off.

Why is there a period of time in which there is practically no sunlight? How does this effect the climate?

Its because they are so far up in the south pole, the sun can't always shine all the way there.

Why is it important that the ground be frozen solid during the moths of breeding?

If the ground isn't frozen solid while breeding the little baby penguins could fall through the ground and into the water and die.

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

The climate change could negatively impact the mating ritual because the weather could make the ice start melting and the sea water would rise. With no ice they would dire and eventually become extinct.
