mAlCoM X!!!

Yesterday we finished watching Malcom X. At the end of the movie it all starts when malcom gets out of jail and finds out his real religion. After he gets out he becomes a leader of the Muslim group. The muslim is a religion that malcom never knew he was part of so he decides to take responsibility for all the brothers that are in the group. There not really brothers but that's how they call each other as part of the religion. Later on he finds out that brother Johnson was attacked by police men and brought into jail. Malcom was not pleased by this and heads to the police headquarters and asks to release brother johnson. Police don't want to but he demands they do. The police had to release himand had no choice. Malcom immediately sends brother Johnson to a hospital because he is severly injured. Later on from all the chaos Malcom finds out that one of his brothers Elijah Muhammad had been getting women younger than him pregnant. Malcom felt dissapointed and betrayed by his own brother. Malcom then decides to take a trip to Egypt to see the muslum religion and pray with them. He goes to Arabian and prays the original way the other muslims do. Malcom realizes that anyone can get along no matter what color they are. He shared food,drinks and talk to any kind of people. When malcom comes back from egypt he starts receiving threats from many people. He even has his house burned down. Malcom then plans to have a meeting of his experience about egypt. But to a tradegy malcom gets killed by the people who were threating him. Even tough malcom died he will still remain in our heart as an Afroamerican

1. Describe your team's game topic and talk about the most important concept you want your players to learn. What we want our players to learn is to prevent water pollution from happening. Many kids don't know that this can harm humans and animals in different ways. That's why we will show many kids how we can all stop this by them playing our game and learning many new stuff about preventing water pollution.

2. How did the ideas you discussed in "Imagining Your Game" come together to help your team decide on a game topic? Well... we had many great ideas that we all shared but what we decided to do was get the most main topic important ones and combinje them together as one.

3. Tell us more about your team by saying who has what role, and how you work together. My team and I are really great friends so we all worked together fine we had no problems and had an awesome game. I would have to say that I was the leader of the group not in a bad way,my teammates didn't really have a problem so we all worked together. 

4. What kind of research did you do to find information to express the game topic? Examples: books, films, web searches....etc. We got all our research on wikipedia.org. It is a really interesting website it has many facts that we used and you should use it.

5. Explain the game play. What does the player have to do? Basicallly the player is a turtle, and what the turtle has to do is that it has to move around the ocean and catch jellyfish and try not to get hit by the plastic flags. This game really will show how we can help out the turtles and that they can do it on their own too.

6. Has this changed since you first started planning your game? How? We changed a lot of things in our game. We had to focus on one main thing and we decided to change it to water pollution. It was really hard doing it all over again but we got through it.

My toughts about how videogames, technology and computer has changed is a lot of things. I think that we are learning many new helpful stuff that can help us on our future and learning skills. Videogames are being created with many new creative stuff and we learn from that and we can also do it. Computers are definetely changing because they have many new software programs that we can use to study or work and that's very helpful to us. Technology is everywhere we go and will always help us in many fantastic new ways. Technology definetely has changed a lot.

One thing I have learned in Globaloria is to be able to work in a team and ineract with others. I think that it is a very valuable lesson because we get to see each others ideas and come together as one.My favorite thing about my Globaloria class is working on our Flash Game. I really like working on it because I get to experience many brand new things and learn about them. It is also really fun because we get to be creative and learn about all the different stuff. I think being in Globaloria now will help me in the future because it is a really fun big topic that we can learn many new things about. It also can help later on in pursuing my career and helping me out in achieving it. Globaloria is a class that can help anyone and I'm glad that I have it every day.

The topic that me and my team are doing is about Global Warming. What we are basically trying to tell the people who will play our game is that earth right now is really having a rough time with recycling and pollution. We would want to see more cleaning around neighborhood and less pollution everywhere. This topic is really big around the world and that's why we would want to spread out the word to start cleaning and being more helpful to the community and the world. We would really want to accomplish this goal and hope that everyone agrees with it.

MaD HoT BaLlRoOm!!!!....

The main message of this movie was that no matter what shape,size or age you are you can still do what you want to do. Like these 5th graders they practiced their butts off and they got to a big goal they weren't expecting. I think that it is really inspiring for other 5th graders who would love to try this out or any other grades that they would like to do this because it gives them motivation to pursue their dream and be proud of what they done. This is what our future holds and I am very proud of this children who accomplished this I hope to see more of this motivational competitions for children later on in the future.

MaD HoT BaLlRoOm!!!

Mad Hot Ballroom is about 3 groups of 5th grade in different elementary schools in new york competing against each other in dancing. This movie shows how they can practice dancing in over only 8 weeks and pull it off. For kids about 10 years old they are really good and had great motivation throughout the whole 8 weeks. Definetely one team doesn't make it to the semifinals but they still did a greata job. We didn't finish the rest of the movie but I think that all the teams did a really great job. Dancing for them just wasn't an excersice or a fun thing to do it was motivation and inspiring for them because they get to prepare for their future careers and have a wonderful life. I recommend this movie to anyone that likes dancing and who would like to get inspired.

I am going to take you on a day in my dream career. My dream is to become a Pastry Chef and open my own bakery with my family. Most of my cousins really liked my Idea of my career and they tought that it was really fantastic and hoped to work with me later on in the future. I would graduate college and go on to look for the perfect place for my bakery. On a normal day I would wake up at 5:30 in the morning and drive up to my future bakery called "Sweets and Treats" and open it. I would go in there and start baking and decorating my cakes with my family. While I would be working I would get calls from people who want to place an order for a cake or maybe want to have a meeting with me about the cake they want. I would sell some of my secret family recipes and let other people enjoy them. I imagine the bakery being full with lots of customers complementing on my sweets and treats. After the bakery would close I would have a toast for making it through the day and doing our job. I hope to accomplish this dream and  make the best of it that I can.
