Globey Awards Article

I thought the Article was interesting and kind of funny. The way the author puts that they don't know how to make games as well and that they will be sulking somewhere.
It makes me feel proud that our school is being recognized for something so awesome and unique.
My game wan't featured in the Article, but I'm proud that my classmates' games did.
Since my game wasn't mentioned, I would like it to have been noted as a unique game that hasn't been created before.
They did mention the game that I wanted to be mentioned: Forest Rats. So, yeah all is GOOD.

Forks Over Knives

I think this documentary will be about healthy eating choices because that's what were focusing on today.
The title implies(to me) that it will be about making healthier eating choices and healthier habits.

1 in 5 American children over 4 are obese.
More people in the world die of cancer and diabetes.
1 out of 3 people will develop diabetes in their lifetime.
Over the years our intake of meats, dairy and processed foods have nearly doubled in numbers.
Animal based foods that are processed can cause cancer and high cholesterol.
The U.S is highest in obesity, food intake, diabetes, and heart disease.
50 billion dollars annually are used to do surgery on hearts and arteries.
When the Germans invaded Norway, the rate of death due to circulatory problems decreased because the Germans took all the meat and protein from them and the people in Norway had to eat a plant based diet.

Final Game!!


Name of Game: Journey to Greece.
Team Name: Journey to Greece.
Topic of Game: History/ Social Studies.
The learning goal is to learn more about Greek Gods and Architecture in Greece.
The player will learn about Ancient Greek mythology and how it ties into ancient Greek architecture.
In order to improve my game, I would like to add more difficult scenes and a few drag and drop scenes..(Although I did, they didn't want to work.)
The most challenging part of my game was correcting codes that weren't fit for the part you wanted. I kept having to go back and review my code.
I am most proud about the concept of my game and the originality of it. Also the fact that it works and all the code is in correctly!!
