Ideals Blog Prompt (Read it noob)

Hello all you noobs! This is Josh, the one and only, and I want to talk about a game which I think can go pretty far. I'm speaking of the game called "I Object!". The team that created it is called "The Things" and they have only one member, who's name is Damien. I personally think that he's done a good job on his own. He's gotten this far on that game, which looks promising, and I'd like to see more of it. Great job Damien! "The Things" go to Greenbrier East High School. He has a promising ability to work on his own and create this game. Hope he adds more to the game! Well, I'm getting tired, so I'll talk to all of you later. See ya!

My Civics Engagement prompt

When we were working on the paper prototype, we were discussing what the game should be about. I wanted a Mario-style game, and that's when Clyde made the idea to make it about Lewis and Clark. It sounded good, so we went for it. After a while, the prototype started to form the game. If it hadn't been for our discussion, the game wouldn't be here. I'm just glad that it turned out okay. And just for the record, it was pretty fun making the prototype. Everybody needs to discuss in order to have a successful game. I guess this is a good lesson to teach. Well, I hope you learned something about the importance of discussion. Okay, see ya! (Pig Latin: Iay amyay atingday hetay ewnay irlgay ownay. Hesay ikeslay emay oremay hantay Ritneybay vereay didyay.

Sweet (EEROYLAY ENKINSJAY!!!!!)

Wassup! This is your boy, Josh, and I'm back with an awesome, pumpin' vibe! I have no idea where that came from, but I'm going to come right out and say why I did that. I'm going to be in Law Day 2010, armed with an awesome rap. Yeah, that about sums it up. Back to the subject. Today, I'm going to discuss the prompt that Ms. Barker gave us. A few weeks ago, we all presented our game presentations to people in Charleston and New York. I personally think it went rather well, even if the PowerPoint didn't load. Let's just say I didn't block my creative mind from putting animations and transitions. It didn't load after almost 20 min. That's bad. I made up the presentation on the spot for people in Charleston and New York. I need credit for that. Still, it went pretty good and they helped me point out some mistakes that I made in the game. They also gave me some tips to boost the game. So, instead of going from left to right, I'm going from right to left. I'm doing this so that it looks like you're going West.

Yeah, check it out. Well, talk to all of you later. See ya homie! (No Pig Latin this time... sorry.)

How well do you believe the average citizen understands US ideals?

I believe that the average citizen does not fully understand the US ideals. You really need to dig up history to fully understand the ideals of the US. When I say 'dig up', I mean that you need to research the history of America and how it came to be the way it is today. It is important that you know this stuff because if you don't know, you won't understand hardly anything about this country. Let's use Lewis and Clark as an example. They helped to spread many new things across the US, including the laws. They discovered many places and helped to shape the ground on which we stand. I think it's important to understand how crucial their journey really was. If you want to know more about them, go here ----------------------------------------------------------> http://www.lib.fit.edu/pubs/librarydisplays/lewis%20and%20clark%20display%20website.htm

Either way, it's important to know about such things because it's these certain events that shaped our country into the way it is today. So, in conclusion, I say that knowing the US's ideals is very important. Thanks for reading and I'll see you next time! (Pig Latin: Ritneybay andyay Iay areyay ackbay ogethertay againyay!)

Wazzup! I'm Josh, A.K.A. "Beatbox", and my team's name is "The Dancing Goombas of Doom!!!!!". We are making a game about Lewis and Clark's journey across the West. It is kind of like a Mario-style platform game but it has the Lewis and Clark twist to it. I think it's a good idea and that it could go a long way if we try hard enough. Hopefully we can make it to the finals. Here is our team page. http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:The_Dancing_Goombas_of_Doom!!!!!

Check it out man, it's cool. Ok, see ya!
