This week I was asked to pick someones game and compare their game demo to their paper prototype.I'm supposed to talk about the changes they made and the development of their game and some advice to help them with their demo.This week I choose team Tigers.The students in this team are Cassie and Heather.Their game is called Supreme Basketball.Last week I did my blog on Aaron and Andy.Their game title is "Hitler vs Stalin: Who Shall Win?".Here's the link to their team page http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/shhswiki/index.php/Team:A-Team2. I think that when Cassie and Heather's game is finished it will be very helpful in civics.The game's topic is Freedom of Expression.When Cassie and Heather finish their game I think it will be great and I would love to play it again.The link to Cassie and Heather's team page is http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:Tigers.

I think that the "Hitler vs Stalin: Who Shall Win?" game is the best.The students who created this game are from South Harrison High School.The creaters of this game are Aaron and Andy.The link to Aaron's projects page is http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/shhswiki/index.php/User:Aaron.underwood4. The link to Andy's projects page is http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/shhswiki/index.php/User:A.Merrill3434. I think that this game teaches about Adolf Hitler,Nacism,Facism,Socialism,and Democracy.The link to their team page is http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/shhswiki/index.php/Team:A-Team2.%20. During the Holocaust six million people got killed.

I am going to share the most fun and easiest work from my team page.The easiest thing was probably the paper prototype.I picked this because it was fun and me and Stephen(Teammate) worked really hard together.The paper prototype relates to civics because it is about the Freedom of Expression.I think that our game relates to the function community because in the first scene you are in a car on the way to the court and facts will pop up about the Freedom of Expression.Then in the second scene you are still in the car, but this time instead of facts popping up it will be questions about the facts that we gave them.In the third scene you are at the court and the judge will tell you information about the case and then the lawyers are going to tell you their side of the story.In the fourth scene you are still at the court, but this time you just have to pick who you thought won the case.I think that me and Stephen worked together because I would do one scene and he would do the other.If one of us needed help we would be there for each other.Sometimes we would argue a little but we would eventually get through it and agree on something.I think that working with Stephen really made me realize who he really was.

How They Went!!!!

I think that the game presentations went well besides the fact that I used the wrong PowerPoint. I learned that our game needs a lot of work done with it. Yes we are going to probably rename our game and we are going to focus on one amendment.We realized that we need to focus on one amendment, change the title, and finish the game scenes.


We have two or three different topics, but the game presentations made us realize that we need to narrow it down to one.Like I said before we have two or three different topics, but we are going to narrow it down to one, but we don't know what one.We still need to do a little more research about the amendments and peoples rights.We might change our name, but we think that our name suits our game because it is a trivia game.We will add more scenes.
