1. My Big Subject Area is: Healthy Living

2. One really important thing I learned about this subject is: that people/families aren't being provided with needed resources, and education, one of the main reason why this epidemic is happening.

3. People should learn: or be educated about what they are eating and where their food comes from, how to choose the best food options for their health

Hope You Get Well Malala

I decided to create my Banner colorful because there is HOPE and she needs to believe in it. Malala needs to get up and make a change. I know she can do it! I believe in her. There is fear voices out there but danger  shatters them. Malala has the strength to make a change. MALALA HOPE YOU GET WELL SOON! AND REMEMBER- YOU CAN DO IT!

I am still trying to make a different banner! I am working on it!

Malala Yousufzai

Who is Malala Yousofzai?

Malala is a young 14 year old who lives in Pakistan, she is courageous and strong that she had her voice be heard. She wants to get and education and become a doctor.

Where does Malala live?

Malala lives in SWAT, which is now part of Pakistan.

What are the problems that Malala and her people face each day?

Malala and her people face tortue everyday. Girls aren't allowed to attend school, if they do they become endangered. They are threaten to be killed. Women are restricted to go out, the market, shool, and everywhere. The only thing they can do is stay home. Women are being treated unfairly. Girls are in fear of being killed. A young girl shouldn't fear anything at this age, they should worry about their education but it can't happen.

Concluding Thoughts

- Malala and her father were so overcome with sadness and happiness when they returned to their home in Swat Valley because the school wasn't destroyed as much, it was still there.-Reason why they were happy at the same time. They were saddened to see that the classes were destroyed, and threats were left behind.

- Malala was most excited to see her study books and room when returning home because since she is threatened by many people, she has to be around, moving all the time and doesn't have time to take things with her.

- Malala's study books were so precious to her because she loves to study and wants an education. She has many dreams. Her books symbolize her passion for how she wants to make a change in her country. How she wants to make a change.

- The school reopened on July 13.

- Over 200 schools remained closed.

- Malala now wants to be a Politician instead of a Doctor because she and her father believe she would be a great Politician. She wants to change the rules in her country and make it a better place.


NOTES-

  January 14 is last day for girls to attend school, they al will loose their education.
At the age of 12 Malala had the chance to meet with Richard(I forgot last name) Obama's right hand man.

Plan Game Scene

I am ready to start on my game! All I need is one more thing, more information. The main reason why this game scene idea excites me is because I have such a huge amount of passion for women. Some people still think of us as nothing and we need to prove everyone that we are equal as Male too. We are the same. We are also strong. They're not the only successful ones. I can already imagine my game although I am having some  trouble putting it together. 
  My vision is to start off with a title page of course

1st scene- The title of my game will be "I have rights", I chose that title because it represents that women also have rights and we shall be treated the same and correctly

2nd scene- The about page will provide information for the player such as statistics of how women are treated in other countries other than America.

3rd scene- It will provide instructions for the player, guide them step by step, in case they are lost. 

Playing Scene- The background will be displayed as other countries where women are treated unright. I can imagine that there will be poverty shown but I am not sure if I am suppose to show that. Show how exactly women live their life's in their country. What they have to go through. I have been thinking of the player
-Choosing a character, -concerned about doing both female and male, since it is Women's Rights. Males can be included as heroes for the women
- Give  a few sentences of the person, play their life such as having to go buy food, sell jewelry, things like that. There will be narrow streets included, small villages, market, and a school.

Choosing Learning Topic

  My Learning Topic is Healthy Living. The reason why I chose Healthy Living is because It is an important topic in my community and all around the country. I can already imagine the character coming to life and choosing the best choice of meal for him. The kids eating healthier and looking better. Many people in our country are not aware of what they eat because they are not educated. I want to educate families to adapt to healthier habits of life, that can help them improve their lives. The story is that you are starting a new life, ROAD TO HEALTHY EATING! You will start off by taking out  all the unhealthy food that is in your kitchen/refrigerator and throwing it in the trash or donating it, but you don't want others to eat unhealthy either.  My game will be a scene full of food, the character must find the objects that are not suppose to be there and will throw them away in the trash. You will also have to go to the store and shop for your new food, which is healthy food. You will have to compare prices and options. You will attend health/exercise classes. When you are at the store, you will be asked how to find the fat in an object. Math might be included in the game. 

Playing to Learn Part 1

Name of the Game: Don't Take it So Literary

What were you looking for?

 I wasn't looking for anything specifically. All I was looking for in general was the way of teaching, how they projected their learning topic. The Game was fun to play because I can see how it would help me understand and learn the definitions of the words.

Was the Game fun to play? 

  In my opinion the game wasn't as adventurous as I wanted to be but although it didn't, it had a strong education skill. Actually it was fun because I was able to learn at the same time as playing.

How does the designer reward you and keep you playing?

  The designer keeps us playing by doing the cool, glittery designs in the game. When I see those types of things it makes me feel inspired to keep on going and follow more on the game. It rewards me by saying "Good Job", or providing more levels for you.

What does this game teach you?

  This game teaches me definitions of words that we need to know in our English Class. For example knowing all the English Elements. It also teaches me how to find words that I don't even know about.

I'm not sure If I noticed the hidden objects that taught me the objective but one I did notice was that it had hidden clues that matched with the word, for example synonyms were included.

I would say middle school would find the game educational, it is also good for teachers in a way were they would make learning fun for their students and not be bored.

I would make this game better by adding more color because when there is no color it is hard to entertain the player. I would also add more clues to some of the words, also include sentences to help the player understand.
