About My Topic

My topic is about pit bull abuse. This issue interests me because I own a pit bull and many people abuse pit bulls. I want people to learn pit bulls are not mean and aggressive dogs because many people think pit bulls are, but they are just like any other dog and their behavior depends on how you treat them. This issue needs to be addressed because in some places they are thinking about banning pit bulls.

2 single story 2011

                                   "Danger of a single story" 
                                      Chimamanda Adichie

1. What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?                                                                                                                                                  Is when you judge a place or community when you have never seen it.
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 once thought that east Austin was a bad place, but as we started doing service learning projects i figured that it wasn't, i think people can learn more about a community if they do research or really get to know that place 

1. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?                                                                   If the game has true facts about the community.

THe lightning thief

The lightning thief movie was awesome.Itt was also wayy different from the book because in the book grover is white.i liked the movie better than the book. i liked the movie better because in the movie u watch and the book you read.

apollo 13

The movie watched was Apollo 13. Apollo 13 was about these three austronauts that went up to space to go to the moon.The astronouts never got to go the moon because the oxygen tank fell out and something blew up so they had to turn around early. They almost died.But htye didnt because they got lucky.

The lightning thief chapter 1-2

The boring book we are reading is the lightning thief by percy jackson.In the first chapter it talked about his self and how he is dyslexix.It also talks about his friend Grover and how he is really hairy. But the main idea of the first chapter was when they went on a field trip and percy killed his insane teacher with a sword.The second chapter was about these two old ladies knitting these huge pair of sox and they clip the string.

globaloria:/

My experience working by myself and in a team stunk.It stunk because i dont know anything and my game stunk and i didnt finish i wasnt even almost finished.I have no idea what I did that i was proud of, i guess theres one thing like when i made my monkey move.I learned im not good at making games and im not good at working overall.I learned about my topic that theres deforestation in brazil.I also learned in globaloria all of these different codes.All i learned in globaloria is how to draw and covert stuff into symbols and i barely know how to put stuff on the wiki.I kinda liked globaloria.The only thing i liked the modt about globaloria was being in flash.

free choice

Today i went to ELA and Fine arts. i didnt like ELA because we had 25 vocabulary words and we have to copy them down, if we dont finish we have home work.also in ELA we have a alot of home work this week and now in class we are starting to read a book in class we will read 3 chapters a day and we will need to finish it in a week.but today in Fine Arts it was fun because all we did was make mothers day cards which was fun. I hope the rest of the day will be good.

Stand and Deliver

The movie we watched was Stand and deliver.The movie was cool.i think the movie was messed up because they thiought the students cheated because they all passed.. I liked the movie because the teacher mr.escelante was a good influence on the students. I think he was good influence  because helped them have confidence in their self.

Taks test

When ever taks testing comes next week i will feel confident, scared, and nervous.I feel confident because when ever we took a practice reading taks i got 93. But on the math test we didnt and math is my hardest class so i dont know what to do.I also feel scared because if i fail i will not go to seventh grade and in want to go 7 grade so bad.Im nervous because sometimes during taks i start to get sleepy and circle what ever.

IPAD

I think the ipad with the second graders in kentucky is bad its bad becae they can break one and drop or they can run it over or throw it out the window or download innapropriat apps or look at innapropriate things

game

I haven't made any progress on my game because i am now by my self and i am starting a new game.But i had a talk about what my game will be about it will be a bout zombies and Michael will be the hero and u Will be able to kill the zombies with a shovel and every time u pass a wave u get money and get to buy new weapons.I think my game will be awesome. I think my game will win. my game is going to be very interesting its going to be like bloons tower deffense and zombie trailer park combined.

game

I havent made any progress on my game because i am now by my self and i am starting a new game.

bloons tower deffense

The game does not have a timer but has away to keep score instead of keeping score you earn money to buy different items.I think the game developers developed this game by figuring out different codes and i think they liked popping balloons.I think i will do this by figuring out how to make objects shoot on their own.the arrow keys tutorials will help also the drag and drop to drag and drop the objects.i liked the game because it was entertaining.

What ever it takes

The movie we watched was called what ever it takes. It was about a girl name Sherifea who wanted to go to a summer program but she wasnt passing her classes. And she got accepted into Dart Mouth college.And the princuple Mr.Edward wanted to be a lawyer ever since he was a child.Also Sherifea whent to hight school with a 4th grade math level!

the wizard

The movie we watched was called th wizrd. I thought it was cool because it was about video games.Also because it was sad.The bad guy wants to catch jimmy to put him in a home.

Spring break

For me spring break will be awesome. It will be awesome because I will go on a nickelodeon cruise.I will also go to macallen to go visit some famimly. I cant until spring break.

the future

I know in 10 in will be rich and famous. I will also have a nice car, a smoking hot wife, and a huge mansion. i will also be in college. people will want to be me and come to my insanely awesome parties.I am going to earn my money by being an NFL football player.

Paper Prototype

My paper proto type hasn't helped me plan my game. It hasn't helped me because i haven't added anything new.I think sometime it might help me later on.I think making the paper proto type was very challenging and making the actual game will be even more challenging. Making the paper prototype was very challenging because you had to draw the pictured and you only had like a week to do it.

my paper proto type

our game is bullying. our objective is to stop bullying.

Malcolm X

Malcolm X was very important person in black history here's why.Malcolm was brave enough to talk back to a police.Malcolm x married Betty.Malcolm X was assassinated in front of his own kids and wife while he was fixing to give a speech.

More Thoughts on Globaloria....?

My opinion on computer, videos,and games has changed since i've been in globaloria.It's changed because before i thought making them was easy.But now i know its soo complicated.

Reflection

1.Our game topic id bullying and our concept is to help the player know different ways to prevent bullying.
2.I chose bullying because it has an effect on peoples life and education we do not work well
3.I'm the programmer and the other two people are the director and artist.
4.books,videos,and web searches
5.our game play is that there are bullies and bully busters you are a bully buster and you have to try to capture the bully and put them in your van then take them to the secret lab.
6.Yes,because we have different characters and a different theme

Mad Hot Ballroom

The movie we finished watching was mad hot ballroom. I think the main message of the film was to go for your goals.And if you find something that your good at live up to your dreams. Also I think the theme was also to get people to follow their dreams and not just stick to dancing unless you like that much.

bullying

our subject is bullying but our subject about bullying is how much effect bullying has on people.

Malcolm X

We watched a movie called Malcolm X. i liked it because malcolm x was trying to save the world.i really liked his name.

Mad hot ballroom

Today we watched a movie called mad hot ballroom.The movie was awesome and funny because mostly all the boys said they likes girl named Marissa.Also on of the most popular dances to the students were called the marangae.Two boys from one of the schools couldn't dance because it was against their religion.I really think this movie is cool.

winter break

My winter break was cool because for Christmas i got a lab top,a dog, and a remote control helicopter.It was also awesome because i got to get away from the teachers and school work it was also not good because we still had to do math work and reading work.The math homework i didn't get because over the break i was texting my friend and in his group they didn't get any homework from her and i think she is unfair but other than that it was awesome.On new years eve we popped a lot of fire works i also almost blew off my finger.
