Mini Game

Not really do I play games on my free time but when I do I like to play Bejeweled thats my game it like to play. And now I think im going to be playing more games when I have more free time.

Game based on 9-11

I think that it wouldnt bea good game because people think to as like thats nothing to play around with and to make not fun of and i thats right because its just something that you dont make a game out of now if it was a game where your just like put something in memories of those people that died but not a game game. I mean i think it would of been a good game but i think that the fact that people lost to many people and families in that attack.

SEPT. 11 #3

. How old were you on sept. 11

I was 4 years old when 9-11 happened.

.When did you learn about the attacts and who told me about it.

.I think I was in the 3rdor the 4th grade and my mom and the teachers that were at the school.

. What kind o an impact did it have on your life or your parents lives?

It made a big impact on my life knowing that all those people died and that someone would run two planes into the twin towers. but i think it had a bigger impact on my mom because she was older and she knew what was happening and also because she had me a 4 year old, and she was thinking that god all those people lost their kids.

#2 Single Story 2011

" Danger of a Single Story"

1: what does it mean to have a single story about a place or community?

what I think it means to me that theres storys about how people look at something and get something thing in there head without getting to know the whole thing.

2: Describe a single story you have heard about your community. What is missing from that story? how can people learn more about that community?

What I heard about my community is that the schools on the eastside of town are bad that we wont leran anything, but the thing that is missing form this story is that people dont know whats going on over here and we are really doing good over here and making good grades. And people can learn more about whats going on over here by coming and looking at what we are doing and how the eastside school are changing.

3: Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn about that story? How can you find out more about that community?

In north Austin there where saying that its nothing but good over there and that they have the best schools. And I learned about this community was that some of my friends were telling me about it. I can learn more about this community by asking people that live around or live in that community.

4: How can a game let players know about many stories about a place or community?

I think that by making a game that people play will let them know about what is really going on over there but the person who is making that game has to be part of that community or place to really let people whats going on so that it will nothing but facts.
