My dear students! As always, your blogs are a great read that gives me tons of information about you and your work in Globaloria. You are all ready to start on paper prototypes and get to seriously thinking about your games. Your game ideas are great and overflow with creativity. The Spikers are rocking for the Constitution; Tigers are playing hoops to learn more about the branches of the government; Smarties are exploring the White House; The Dancing Goombas of Zoom!!! are embarking on the historial journey following the footsteps of Lewis and Clark; and Halo Machines are trying the cases in the court house. The Fox Racers are racing to answer educational civics questions, as the Blond Chicks are exploring student rights and responsibilities. Make sure you go to check out each other's team pages and blogs to find out what students are doing in your class.
Now, let's go to our weekly prompt. Last night I played Supreme Decision game and spent a lot of time thinking through the judges' decisions concerning the student freedom of expression at school. Go to play this game and blog about your impressions. What does freedom of speech mean to you? Are there any restrictions to your expression of views, likes, and dislikes? If Mr. Campbell forbid you to wear your favorite shirt to school, would he be right in doing so? If your locker was searched, would you have a right to refuse a search? Why?
Take your time thinking about the answers and base your responses on what you have learned throughout playing the games, reading different blogs, and doing research for your topic.
Good blogging!
Mrs. B.
