Aluminum Fighters
SHHS: 53,595 Infected Lawyers.
This game teaches about the amendments, 2nd to be more exact. This game teaches you about the 2nd amendment through a fun kind of shooter game is how I would describe it. There is a maze, quiz and a surprise at the end. I can't wait for the final game to be ready. If the Aluminum Fighters have entered their game in the Competition, every other team, GOOD LUCK.

Game Idea & Factors of Chosen Team

The Smelly Closets: What are they Thinking, RTC High School. Their game is to teach about politics. The design plan aims "Bull's-Eye" at the subject of the game. Their audience is Middle School and younger High School Students. I can't wait until they finish their game, so us at SRMS can play it. Link to where I saw what they are going to do http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/rtcwiki/index.php/User:VMal/Projects. I wouldn't take anything from this game, it's one-of-a-kind. I don't think they should add anything to their game, it is fine as is. What I like about their game is that it teaches about politics. The way they teach about politics is that througout the game you play crossword puzzles, find a word puzzles and others in an educational way. If you have entered your game [The Smelly Closets] GOOD LUCK!

Civic Engagement Blog Prompt 2

The paper prototype is what I'm focusing on. We had to really cooperate with each other for this one, and we did pretty well. We used more than what we needed for it but it turned out okay. Garrett and I went into the computer lab with our teacher and videoed our paper prototype.

Shortening Our Topic

To shorten our game Garrett and I shortened our focusing to the most important amendment, the 1st amendment. 1st Amendment- Freedom of Speech, Press, Religion, Assembly and Petition. Which all of the songs in our game, every song in the world has the Freedom of Speech in it, because when you sing you voice your opinion to the world. Like the Song "Kryptonite" (used in the game) is about a guy who has probably lost a girl in his life. So he wrote a song and it went something like this http://artists.letssingit.com/3-doors-down-lyrics-kryptonite-43fzvxb. Writing songs isn't that hard... I've wrote lots of songs.

Game Presentations

I believe Garrett and I did well on our game presentations, it went very swimmingly. I think if I would have changed the color of the text in the background of some of the slides it would have went more smoothly. My computer hasn't been acting up as much lately... although it still acts up A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's about all I say about the Game Presentations.

How well I think the Average US American Citizen Understands Ideals

Well the average American citizen, I don't think that they understand the Ideals very well.

Their Voting right: I believe the people understand their voting right well. Not a lot, but good.

Their Origins/History of key ideas and value: Well some people don't understand how America came to be, some people think that Christopher Columbus discovered America, he might have, no one knows for sure. Here's what I have to say, In 1497, the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci discovered a new country. He named it America after himself.

Their Rights and Freedoms: The Average US American citizen barley knows their rights and freedoms, which is what I'm trying to teach in Mine and Garrett's Game. Like some people don't know what to do if a policeman comes to your house and tries to arrest you without a warrant, because they can not do this.

What is up with all the 'Quakes today?

I'm sure you've heard by now about the Chile Quake. Well what is is up with the Quakes today! Here is a list of Quakes from 2010.

1. Haiti Quake
2. Chile Quake

What's Next a W.V. Quake?

Well actually we are pretty lucky not to have earthquakes in McDowell County but with all of the Earthquakes happening near us today we are waiting for one to hit. There has been a lot of talk on how to help Chile and Haiti, like going to http://www.redcross.org or http://www.helphaitinow.org.

Info On Team and Game.

My name is Charles, I am 13 years of age. I'm in "The Spikers" Globaloria Team with Garrett. Our game's name is "Rock for the Constitution". The Category it fits in is the Citizenship Category. Our game teaches about the first 10 Amendments, so kids can learn about their rights and freedoms. Like, for example, a cop comes to your house and tries to seize you or your parents (If your a kid.), and you played the game the night before, and they don't have a warrant for your or your parents arrest, then you'd know without a warrant they can't arrest you. If you've played Guitar Hero 1, 2, 3, 80's, Areosmith, Metallica, World Tour, Smash Hits, Van Halen, 5, Rock Band or Dance Dance Revolution, then you'll know what you have to do to play our game. We'll be using 5 songs in the game, patriotic that is, even if we have to make them. http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:The_Spikers
