March Of The Penguins

1. Some challenges that the have to overcome are the very harsh winters and also the struggle for food and the struggle to keep there baby safe and warm .
2. It gets really cold for them sometimes and they have to stay warm for there babies .
3. They have thick coats of fur to keep them warm and another thing they do is they huddle together in a big circle and rotate to the middle every now and then so that each penguin gets at least some warmth !
4. Because there is a tilt in the earth that makes in pitch back sometimes .

**5. The snow needs to be thick so the penguins eggs don't go threw the snow !**

Mini Game 9-20-11


Was it hard to make your mini game ?
Well , I wouldn't consider the hardest thing in the world but it also wasn't the easiest thing in the world . But once i got the hang of it i got right away , But it wasn't so easy in the begging !! But i got it and that's all the matters !!(:

What was the best part of the topic ?
The best part for me was actually seeing my Mini Game work and do what it was supposed to do and not just freeze like it did at least 5 times !!/: Also making it look pretty i like when we did the background and not just let it stay white like always !!!(:

The worst part ?
The worst part of the Mini Game was putting those codes in !! They got me really mad when i thought it looked perfect but wouldn't even work !! Also make sure everything was perfect because one little error would ruin the whole game witch i find really umm , weird !! ? .. But other then that , That's It !!!(:

2 Single Story 2011

'' Danger Of A Single Story ''


1. What does it mean to have a " single story " about a place or community ? It means , having your own idea of a race , gender , country or even city . With out even knowing all the REAL facts about that place ! Like a stereo type sort of thing . When thinking something totally different then what it really is.

2. Describe a single story you have heard told in your community. A single story that i have heard in my community is that they think that in the East side that we are all drop outs and always do bad things like steal and graffiti and we don't learn and we do drugs and stuff like that . That a single story in my community !

3.Describe a single story you have heard about another community. A single story that i have heard in another community is that in Africa there are people ''Black/Brown'' that live there and that they are all poor and they live in tree bark houses and that they don't have close and that they run around naked ! That's a single story that i heard of in another community .

4.How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community ?.It could show them how places really are and what they really do and how they really act and show people that not all story's that they hear about are true and that most stories that they do hear are not true.
