About My Topic ;

My topic is about Children who are being

abuse known as "Child Abuse".

This issue interest me because I really wanna know more about

Child Abuse because I've seen movies based on true life

stories about Child Abuse , so I really do want to know

about that topic ..

I want people to learn that Child Abuse is a very serious

matter , and there is a way to help prevent it from happening or also

be aware Child Abuse because children are dying at a really young age sometimes...

This issue needs to be addressed because Child Abuse is a very serious matter..

Choosing A Topic

Most likely for kids who want to learn about child abuse . My game will teach the specific things about Child Abuse and it will also give out a lot of facts about child abuse and to be aware of child abuse . Either in area where child abuse happens and that would most likely be at children homes . Because it would show where the kids are most likely being abuse at . It helps them notice child abuse and to be aware of it .. Because you'll actually learn about Child Abuse and know about it instead of a quiz .. And it's most visual work .

My thoughts about that particular commercial is that

it's NOT good at all because what is it doing?

Like really I don't see how that commercial is helping him.

And to be honest I really think that video is

sooooooo strange , like why would you have smoking in it ?

Why would you have the guy at the end and with a CREEPY smile !

I really don't like it at all whatsoever !

March Of The Penguins 2011

What challenges did the Penguins had to overcome?

-Starvation , Predators

How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?

-The Penguins might starve to death or maybe because

of the really bad weather ,

like for the unborn baby penguins .

The just might die in the egg because they are not use to the

weather yet.

What types of Adaptions so Penguins need in order to survive

winter and predators?

-They have to adapt to the cold weather

and walk a long distance from their

feet to their destination in order

to get food

. And they have to get

use to not having food for at least

a few months .

Why is there a period

of time in which

there is practically no sunlight ?

How does that effect the climate?

-It effects the climate because the ice is to frozen , so that means

that the Penguins can't get any

food therefor they could starve

to death and just die .

How could climate change negatively impact the mating ritual

of the emperor penguin?

-Because they could become extinct.

Why is it important that the

ground be frozen solid during the month of birthing?

- It's very important because when

the baby penguins aren't born yet

they could die underwater because

they haven't been underwater

yet , and they need to be warm and kept that way until they hatch .

After reviewing the games we had to play ,

I've learn somethings as in sometimes the educational value

or matter might not be Incorporated into the game and maybe

genres to.

Also the game(s) that stood out to me was one of the ones my

fellow classmates had created .. And I'm not saying it because

2 students from our school made it , but because the way the game

was created and very well thought out and had some well known facts

and maybe the only thing about it if it was more illustrated .. And what could be improved

was Chemistry 101 ..

Gamer's Solve Scientific Problems 2011

1) How did gamers use the computer game

Foldit to solve the protein folding mystery ?

They used it as a model maybe ??

2) Who can participate in this problem solving and be

a player in Foldit .

Anyone with strong critical thinking skills can play this game !

3) What can critical thinking do for science ?

I'm not all that sure what critical thinking can do for

science , but my guess is it's really helpful in a way ..

4) If you can solve a mystery through gaming for

any kind of disease or illness in the world , what would it be?

I think it would be like some kind of game for cancer because that's how my

grandma die and I would love to cure it .. But I'm not sure if

they have a game for that ??

Mini Game 2011

Was it hard to make your assignment ?

Umm , the Mini Game assignment wasn't all that

difficult .. In some places it was , but not really .

I feel maybe it would be hard for beginners .. But that would be it ..

What was the best part of the topic ..

The best part of the topic is probably when

you get to draw and then see the movie at the end .. Which

I find it awesome , might not be to others ... But to me it is !

The worst part ?

The worst was probably trying to get all the codes down

and making sure its the exact cold and they each

have a instance name and you have to have on a

separate layer .. Basically starting out and have the codes seems a little hard

to me , but that's just me might be different to others .

September 9 , 2001

How old were you on September ?

When 9/11 happened I was at least 3 or 4 years old and

i was really young by that time so I really didn't know what

happened , until now !

When did you first learn about the attacks and

who explained these events to you ?

I think when I first learned about these attacks is when I

was in second grade and my teacher Mrs.MaClain

my teacher is the one who told me only about the Twin Towers

not the other ones.

What kind of impacts did these attacks have on

your life and your parents lives ?

I'm really not sure about my parents lives , but mine it kind of does bother to see like the

two tallest towers fall down or get torn down like that

and maybe actually one day I would like to see the Towers , but I can't

now /:

What was the issue with this game ?

Some people might remember this day and take it horrible

once again .. Or maybe the game wasn't all that great

like they said " Eventually a plane is going to sleep threw " ..

How do you feel about it ?

To be honest I kind of feel bad just to even hear about it ,

and now they have a game about it makes it more terrible for me !!

What is the problem with portraying on such a awful violent event

through a video game .

I think the problem is people playing and reliving the tragic day , maybe

that's how people feel?

2 Single Story 2011

" Danger Of A Single Story ''

It means like you basically make a assumption about a place thatpeople say it's a bad place , which it may or may not be true ?!How could people learn more about that community Since we live in the " East Side " they automatically think that it's the badside and that almost all thekids over here drop out and I really don't think that's true ..Because not all kids are bad or dropped out of school .Look at us we are in a school in the East Side that are perusing ourselves to go to college and their are teachers here making sure we actually do that !And they can changed that is by coming over here and seeing what our school does and how good it is ..!I don't I have heard a single story besides the East Side .???But if I was to here about a place ,I think I would probably visit that area and see what it is really about ..It will help people out because , they would learn more about that place and teach them that , that the place isn't what people say it is ..!

The game had tough me a few things even though I didn't that much,

but lucky I got to play it over there where we had met Sandra O'day Conner .

First female Supreme Justice !

I have learned a lot from it

like you have to chose from the bad choices and

what you learn is all about the Democracy

and more things ! It teaches us about

the things that they do in the

government or maybe even the president house !

I like how the people move and

I like how the are weird but I really do think it is fascinating!(:

The Nintendo 3D had just came out not to long ago . And

I think this Nintendo is absolutely extraordinary

it has quite a few things like ,

A built-in 3D Depth Slider that allows you to adjust the intensity and it

could also be played in 2D as well in 3D, it also comes with a Gyro Sensor, and still has

the touch screens, but instead the one on top is bigger than the DSI .

It also has 3D photos .. And so much more,but it to much to tell, but I really

do think their new design is really amazing . Especially now that it is in 3D . Who would

ever though about that .. And I just saw now that the charger is weird, like I mean

instead of the plug going in you get to plug into a black little thing that I have no clue what

it is ??? But I really Am Interested In the new Nintendo 3D..

All The Info About The New D.S

I'm guessing the DS Price is around 250-300 ??

If I could have a chance I would try to sell it, but that probably

won't happened so it would most likely be

a no, just for right now .

I would attach a celebrity to my game, but I'm not sure who I would

like to have play because their are a lot of celebrity's that I like

and its going to be a while .. Umm... I would have ....

Michael Jordan .. I'm not sure ... Though because its a tough decision for me ..

Japan's Disaster

I really do think that it is sad to see so many lives gone .

And trust me I really do feel bad for the families who had lost

their loves ones in their life .. Especially the little children who don't get to

know what life is and what they can do in life ..Like knowing

that their loves one wont be home anymore to greet them or won't be able to see

them anymore is really depressing ..

If their was anything I could do is probably

fly to Japan and help the people who survived, give them food and shelter, help them

out because they have no where else to go ..

And if I could not do that then we

as a school should have a fundraiser to help out ..

We should sell food and save the money and give it to people in

Japan .. I would so do that ..Just to help them out !!!!!

1.Happened In 1994.

Public School Num.'s 112 & 115

They started right after 9/11 just a year ! Some kids don't even have

parents in their life all they have is there grandparents and those kids see bad

things sometimes and that's why they want to be better than what their parents

were to them

or they want to have a good life without any problems .

Some kids that are learning how who dance ball room want to dance and the teacher and

the ball room teacher have to choose at least 5 couples and 1 substitute couple.

Some teachers get upset because they don't want the kids to feel bad because

they did not get chosen and that's going to make some kids that weren't

chosen feel bad and think they are not a good enough dancer .

A lot of the kids from the video don't have role models in their

life . Teamwork means working together as a team like everyone is helping

not just one person everyone is actually helping and they are not

arguing with another or anything like that ..

One of the schools didn't make it and they are now having a discussion about

it ...I really do see the stundents working hard together as a

team they aren't fighting about who wants to be with who or they are not

complanning about how boring it is or saying they don't want to

dance at all ! One of the kids were close to becoming a street kid and ever

since he had joined he had change his attitude and he is really commited !

The Public School 115 won the big trophy, they achieve their goal !

Teamwork is really important to them because if you have a lot of

work and their people who aren't helping then yall would never get the work done !

I would work hard with my team and achieve are own goal as well !!!

I think the main message should take away is work together as a team to achieve their goal even though you really, really, dislike your partner ..

I will reall try my best working with my teamates who sometimes get off

topic, but thats alright because we get our work done and we achieve our goal as well !!

The game I had played for Math games are

Demolition Division & Meteor Multiplication & Minus Mission as you can tell it is about Multiplying and Dividing and to me in these

games you have to think very quick because in the

for Minus Mission and If the Minus touches you then you die and the point of the game is

you have a number in the shooter and you just math it to the correct equation

thats all you have to do for all 3 Games, But they are all different by the Muliplication,

Division . But the game was kind of easy because I am Good at both so yeah ..

The first game (J.Lo Fur Bully On The Block) is basically played with the arrows and the space bar and you just keep a distance from J.Lo and save all the Little

animals..

And the Second game is also the arrows and you just move and just, really it's

kind of like The Super Mario Bros.

The social issue is maybe endangered species or maybe the people who

use too much fur..

Second is people who use too much of a kind of food !

The first(J.Lo Fur Bully On The Block) game taught me that

using to much fur can effect the animals in so many ways like it's basically

saying that J.Lo is one celebratiy that uses animals fur and it's not just the fake it's

the real fur from animals and thats what I had learned from the first game.

The second game (Super Chick Sisters) taught me that KFC uses too much chicken..

Alexis C 4 2011

At the beginning of the movie, Jimmy is walking down the highway. Where is he going?

- Jimmy was heading to California.
What is the problem that the little boy, Jimmy, has?

- Jimmy has a kind of probelm is ever since his twin sister drowed he has
not been himself because they were so close that he felt like he had no one else.

Jimmy likes to stack and build things. How does this relate to video games?

- I think jimmy likes to stack things is because it some how relates to games like in games

the some how have a lot of building and more, but that's what I think of and

maybe it really does help him think about game.

Playing video games seems to help Jimmy feel better. Why do you think this is?

- I think ever since his sister died he didn't have nothing else to do and I

think he just started to play video games and ever since then video games made

him feel way better.

What makes him such an awesome video game player?

- I think what makes him a great gamer is big time practice or its probably what

he use to do with his twin sister.

What kinds of games do you see being played? Have you ever played any games like this before?
- I have played some games like that before and I have seen some games like

that before because I use to have an old time Nintendo myself and I had use to play
How many different game systems do you see in the film?
- I can not say how many games I see in the film, but their were

quiet a few.
What did you think about the Power Glove?
- I think the power glove was an awesome invention !!!

Alexis C 2 2011 Crayon Physics

Crayon Physics

I could really incorporate this in my game because is showing strategy, which

I think is really fun, but at the same time

hard so it would be similar like the Crayon

Physics but not that similar because that would be copying

which is illegal but I can see

how to work with it

in different areas since it would be my own game and maybe

I could make a few agustments to it in my

own way so it could

be more different

and maybe I could have more items

to it so it would be

more challenging and that way they cant figure out a way just to get to the

other level.

What I think about Google having a Science Fair is awesome!

Even though it's the first I had ever heard of it because I have really

have never even heard about google having some kind of fair, But I think what they are

trying to do is a good thing especially for people who are really interested in science

and electronic stuff.

To be honest I really don't like science and I am not that type to

be interested so I am going to have to say not I would not see myself entering

into a science fair and I have entered once

and it really didn't go all that well.

It's exciting to be competing students from all over the world, But I would be kind

scared because I might think like "Man, his is better than mine" I would really have

negative thoughts and really put my self down.

Sharing ideas with other people is cool

because you get to come up these ideas that

nobody has ever came up with

or even have thought of it.

The idea I would have is maybe chemistry and the only reason why is because

I have never done nothing to do with chemistry and I would like to try something

new for once instead of like making something so easy and simple like making

a volcano and I just really wanna try something more

challenging. (:
