IMAGINING YOUR GAME

• WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.) Im going to make this game for kids 5 and up because they will get it more then others

• WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)

My game would teach others about how our government works and how they are a big part of our government.

• WHERE does your game happen?
• My game doesnt really have a scene
  
• • Describe the world you will design for your game?
  • in my game the player would see just so questions and have to drag them in the right amendment. but with lots of color.
  • How will this setting add to the learning experience?
• some of the slids that i had plan would be part of what im asking in the questions.

HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
because all the game will have is government in it so that would teach them about the topic that i picked.

• What happens in the world that helps the player learn?

Because when the player is playing the game. its going to tell them why they got the questions right or why they got them wrong.

How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?

Because when the player gets one wrong he/she will know next time what the answer to the question would be and why its right.

• WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?

because with a quiz the kids would just pick any answer but with a game the kids would have fun learning and getting new information doing it.

Choosing a topic

The choosing a topic that I picked was government, and the reason I picked this topic was so that people will learn more about the government and whats it like and how it works.

My 3 sources are "The Constitution", The Three Branches", and The Bill Of Rights".

climate change/ the emperor penguins

what challenges do the penguins have to overcome?

The penguins have to overcome the ice cold winters and the predators and also to keep their babies alive.

How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?

Because with each day you dont know if its going to get colder and also what they eat sometimes they go a long time not eating and the predators that they can have.

what type of adaptions do the penguins need?

They need food and to also keep their babies warm and to keep away from the predators.

Why is there a period of time in which there is hardly any sunlight?

Because when the earth is on its axis and is rotating around the sun and when the seasons change the sun is more away from the part where they are at and thats what keeps the sun from shining one that part of the earth.

Why is it good that the ground to be solid during the time of breeding?

Because if the land is not solid then the breeding wont go to well because the egg has to be kept warm and also the breeding wont work in the water because it is to cold and it would be hard to find food for their baby.

How does climate change negatively impact the mating ritual of penguins?

Because when it gets to hot and the ice starts to melt the ice gets thinner and when that happens the ice beaks off, and there is no way they can breed on that and also when the mom goes off and finds food it would be hard for her to find her way back.
