Scratch Reflection

EunSongK — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:27:15 +0000

We made a jumping game using Scratch. As you can see above, the man with black hat, blue tie, and blue shoes is jumping on the blue blocks to move to the next level; when it reaches to the door. Each level will make the game harder and the character have to avoid falling on to the spikes. We really enjoyed this project working with other students in Michigan and applying the script to the character, though we had hard time making the character jump and bounce. So far, we made the game until level 1 but we will be adding more elements and levels through out this semester.

Right now we are working on a scratch collaborative project with students from some school in the U.S.A. My group members are Richie, Junior and Kareem. We are joined up to make a shooting game.
I would say that our progress with this project is good.Although, as we go through we are finding little problems with the programming of the different sprites. In our shooting game there is a shooter. A bullet and 5 different monsters. So far this is our progress. Soon we would like to add more bullets to function at the same time.Also, to get our different levels in the game once we find out the problem to the invincible bullet. Our one and only bullet is just going through the zombies then at the end of the screen disappearing and being ready for the next shot. What I like best about this project is when we are testing the game because we have included sound effects to the game to just make it more interesting. Whenever the character kills a zombie it says “Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha”

We are working on making scratch game, we have chosen a game that we want to create and we are working working with other student in US. As we created commands for our game we made many mistakes and those mistakes made us to think about how to fix those mistakes. I liked this scratch project because your working as a group and sharing ideas. Sharing ideas were my favorite part of this project. I struggled with the commands, because sometimes our commands didn’t work. My group worked on making space ship game. In this game you have to earn points by destroying asteroids and stars.

In ICT, my partner and I have been working on creating a scratch project similar to a mini-game in the wii game Mario Party 8. It’s a two player game, wherein depending on the color of you car, you have to pop the balloons of the same color of your car before the other player does. The thing is, you have to dodge the balloons of the other players’ because you can pop theirs if you run over them.

We aren’t the only people involved in this project though. A school in Michigan, Valleywood, is a part of this, and 2 students from that school are our partners. They were thinking of a car crashing game, where we said that it may be too hard to program and offered our idea. We added the shooting idea because we thought they would like it since we didn’t agree with the car crashing game. They were cool with our idea though, but didn’t like the shooting idea. I was a bit confused at first, but decided to just go along with it.

Now, there is a time difference between Michigan and Vietnam, exactly 12 hours, I believe, and we can’t necessarily connect when it’s nighttime in one country and day time in another. We connect by using a Google Document that is similar to Microsoft Powerpoint Presentation. We put in pictures and comments about ideas we want, and share the scratch projects with them for them to program it themselves and to see how it would work.

All in all, we aren’t exactly finished with our scratch project yet, but we’re doing a pretty good job. We’re cooperating, and sending ideas. We’re sending different sprites and backgrounds for the different courses.

I am enjoying doing this project. There will be times when you can’t always do what you want, but you’ll learn to accept the other ideas that others have to offer. There will be times when you feel like you can’t seem to work out the problem or that you can’t fix it, but there will always be a solution. Sometimes, it may also feel like it’ll take forever to get this done, but you just have to be patient. Everything takes time… and this is what I’ve learned from working on this Scratch Project.

This project is not completed and is still in progress. This is part of a collaboration. Now, instead of the cars bouncing off of the green area, they return to the starting position.

In making our scratch project, our group member is Junseok, Nam and I. We are now making super Mario game. We already made a presentation, and made a spirit to move and jump in another group’s scratch draft. I think we collaborated well.

Scratch Reflection

hlee14 — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:00:33 +0000

In my ICT class, we are creating a game using the program “Scratch” with other students from a school in Michigan. When I first heard my teacher say that we would be working with another school that’s half way around the world, I thought it was really cool, but I also knew that it would be hard to work together cooperatively.

I have 3 members in my group including me. Those members are me, Abel, and Hee Youn. When we were brainstorming about what game we would create, I thought that bowling would be a fun game to make. So, I suggested the game, and we decided to go for it. My group found some bowling games made by using scratch, we tried to play it, and it turned out to be really fun and cool. But, later on when we downloaded the game and looked at the commands on the bowling game to have an idea about what to do, I found that creating a bowling game would be extremely hard. Therefore, our group decided to look for another game.

When we were brainstorming again for a new game, Abel suggested a soccer shooting game. We would use a sprite to move the ball, and shoot the ball in to the goal. Making the command for this game wouldn’t be so hard because the command of the soccer game would be similar with the pong game we created during class. But the problem for this game was that my group thought that it wouldn’t be very interesting, and although we were creating this game for a class assignment, it would be much better if we could enjoy it. And so, we decided to find another game that would be interesting to create.

We brainstormed for ideas, but it wasn’t easy so we decided to go on a Scratch website, look at some games, and then decide what game to make. As we were looking at some games, we found a maze game. At first I thought that a maze game would be too easy and not interesting at all. But when I tried it for myself, I really wanted to give it a try and create the game. Abel and Hee Youn seemed to like the maze game too. Therefore, we decided to create the maze game.

However, it wasn’t so easy after choosing what game to create either. We wanted to use the mouse for controlling the sprite in the game, but choosing the right commands for the game wasn’t easy. We spent about 15 minutes on experimenting the commands, but it was too hard. And even after we found the right command to make the sprite follow the mouse, some problems occured. Then, I thought of what my teacher had told my group when we first told him that we would make the sprite follow the mouse instead of using the key arrows on the keyboard to move the sprite. He said that using the key arrows would be much more easier than using the mouse. I suggested to my group members about using the key arrows, and it seemed to me that they also had the idea of changing the controller to key arrows instead of the mouse. So, we decided to change the controller to key arrows.

After we started to experiment commands and create the game, I felt that my teacher was absolutely right, using the key arrows were much more easier than using the mouse. We made the right commands for our game, and we are now creating different levels for the game. My group has made up to level 3, and we plan on to create more.

A part of this assignment that I would like improvement on is cooperation. Me, Abel and Hee youn are working cooperatively, and we are exchanging interesting ideas. However, the students in Michigan have done nothing to help us with the game. And I am also a little worried that my group would end up doing all the work, or the students in that school will want to change our game when we are almost complete with it.

But until the students in Michigan contact us or show us their ideas, we would continue on to making the game more challenging, find even more precise commands for the sprite, and make the game work!

I love twitter I tweet everyday and everynight. My friends are all on twitter, i use twitter as a new search, music seacrching and chating to friends site. I like it a lot but i like facebook better. The only thing that is frustrating is its over load sometimes and gliches happen so that all, but overall its okay i like it but in the future i think twitter needs some more improvments.

Tweeting on Twitter Jackie

JackieB — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:40:43 +0000

Just a few weeks ago, I signed up for twitter partly because all my friends were telling me how great it was, and also because my Facebook was down. At first, I didn’t think it could do so much. All I could really do was update extremely short status messages. Then, as I learned to use it, it was capable of variety of things. I love the way twitter makes everything seem like it’s actually really happening. Also, it keeps me updated on the latest news, the latest fashion, latest jokes, and the celebrity everyone’s talking about. So many tweets are formed in just mere seconds! Also, you don’t get spam notifications on Twitter like we do on Facebook, and chat is not necessary! It’s a good way for people to communicate from long distances. At the same time, there are bad things about Twitter as well. Some tweets are extremely negative about certain issues, and there are also lots of racial issues. As you’re gaining information, you’re learning bad stuff about it as well. I hope if they’re gonig to swear, they could just keep it to themselves. I think in the future, more people will start searching things up on Twitter for a search engine than Google. I’m really looking forward to it!

Twitter, although being somewhat new to the scene, has taken the internet by storm and already has millions of users. It offers a great updating news feed that can provide all the latest news and trends. In my opinion, Twitter is fantastic to stay ‘in the know’ about any topic, anywhere, anytime. Just type in a word in the search and you get a swarm of tweets, just like that. If you use the ‘#’ search, you can narrow the topic down and get exactly what you want. Twitter isn’t the same as other social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace, but it sure is a lot simpler to me. There are no games or applications you can play, which makes people focus more on reading the tweets that other people post and really utilizing it as it should be.

After I tried to search on twitter, I’ve been using it for the games that I didn’t watch like when I missed the game of Manchester United vs. AC Milan. I didn’t know who won but by the time when I searched it on twitter I read there who won and whats the score and the players who scored. It was so cool. By the way… Manchester United won 4-0.. I’m a big Manchester United fan. And I also found out that Real Madrid was out of the tournament because Lyon beat them by 2-1. But what I don’t like about twitter is that most of the comments have at least 1 bad word which is not cool, they should have a language sensoring.

Twitter search should have some language sensoring. Every search I find, there will atleast be one bad word or phrase in a post. There is a little bit but most of them are good thing about the post with bad words. Twitter should Inprove on Sensoring words and phrases. The good thing about twitter search is everything! I can search for anything on twitter search. Just the other day I was searching for a friend of mine and I found him. It was so easy. I just typed his name, Scrolled down, and clicked the follow button! Twitter search is as good as Google search.

What do you like about it?
What if anything is frustrating or could be improved?
How do you think this will affect the future of searching for information on the internet?

I like twitter about twitter search and the home page. On the bottom of the home page, it show the top 5 things that people talk about today, in this minute and this week. I am frustrating about do Twitter have chat like facebook and also can we play games on Twitter. I think this could be improved in the future.I think Twitter will affect the future of searching of informaiton on the internet by on Twitter’s home page, it can have more place to search. Like yahoo, google or ask.

I really like how twitter workes! I have never heard of twitter before, and Justin once asked me if I had a twitter. I said “What is Twitter?” so victor told me what it was. But still i didnt really know what it was. He just told me its something like Facebook. Today I finally got to learn what twitter is, and the person who created twitter is briliant! I never thought about these things. You commant and leave a message about small things in lees than 140 characters. You can find news and important event on twitter by reading other peoples information. It even tells what was hte most famouse blogging that day, yesterday, and this week! I think by using twitter, its easyer to get information and know morea bout people. Since they type in what ever they are doing like “I am cooking” or “I am watching simpsons”. If twitter get developed so much, I think for the news paper company they cant sell a lot. Plus i am worried that the news company might now earn alot of money too. Since everyone is using Twitter and other stuff, its free and its faster to get the information. Si my prediction is that the news company might not stay for a long time.

Twitter…. a nice website to.. share your thoughts with your friends. People may hide their thoughts outside, but once they’re on twitter, they put their thoughts or whatever they want to put as their status, or twitter’s version… tweets. Twitter search helps you find out what people are saying about you, or about other people or places. Twitter search helps a lot. You search a certain topic

Scratch collaboration reflection

In ITC, we are working on making a game using Scratch program. We are also collaborating with students from other school. We use Google Presentation to carry out our collaboration after making the groups and choosing which game we are going to create.

My group members are Gina, Christabel, Jasmine and Marcel. We chose to make a simple maze game. Right now we have decided that we will make the sprites go through the maze under our control using key arrows until it reaches the square at the other end which will take the player to the next level.

We have created 3 different levels so far, and we will continue on.

This is our maze game:

The Digital Divde explained through Xtranormal

KKannan12 — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 05:16:09 +0000

One of our latest projects in ICT class has to do with Xtranormal. For people who don’t know what it is- Xtranormal is a website that helps you create a video presentation in a quick and simple way. To create a video all you have to do is Sign up, chose your setting and characters, and type in your script. You then add various effects like camera views, expressions (for your characters) and animations. And that is basically all you have to do to create a video.

The video I created is based on the digital divide. It consists of two characters- an old lady (who doesnt know what the digital divide is) and a British man who describes to the old lady (and us) what the digital divide is.

Here it is!-

I am working with Tuan Anh on a game project that involves platforming and taking down enemies by shooting them. For my part, I was working with the in game actions like moving left and right and jumping up and down. I am also responsible for designing the stages and levels and the character movements. I plan to incorporate Mario Bros style of platforming and jumping, but with shooting mechanics similar to spaceship shooters with a little bit of puzzle solving. So far, Tuan Anh have developed the shooting mechanics and the amount of bullets you can expend before reloading. I have designed a stage so that there will be bonuses if the player chooses the longer route to the objective. The objective of our game is to reach the door on the other end of the stage, but along the way there will be tough enemies, but you have the option not to kill them, but you are rewarded with more point by shooting down the enemies.

Reflection of Scratch Game

Reflection OF Scratch

Gina, Hee Youn and me, tried to make a bowling game out of scratch. At first, we thought it would be cool to play bowling on scratch. We were curious about the commands that we’re going to use to make a bowling game. We searched and found good examples of bowling games. We were more interested in the game, so we played it for several times. We didn’t concentrate on the commands. We thought that bowling is such a cool game. After a while, we came back into track to look at the commands. Oh gosh! The commands made me blind. Well, not literally but it hurt my eyes. There were too many commands to do. We couldn’t even understand how the creator did it. We were surprise, so we decided to change the game.

We thought about it… Hmmm… An interesting game, but not too hard to make. We thought of a shooting game in soccer. The goalie will move right and left, and the ball will bounce off if it touches him, if it didn’t and if it went into the goal, you just scored. We thought that the commands would be the same as the pong game. We thought it was easy, but, never mind.

We started another round of thinking. We spend about twenty-minutes in class to think and search. We found a maze game. We weren’t interested in it at first, but when we played it for a bit, and found a really good example of a maze game, we were into it. So, here goes the maze game.

We thought everything will go well from here and now, won’t have any problems. It’s easy, we can just make the sprite follow the mouse and we can just create a background of mazes and make levels. Sounded easy, eh? However, it wasn’t that easy. We spend about fifteen-minutes talking about how to make the sprite follow the mouse, and to make it not too easy for the players. After a while, we found the way. But, another problem occurred. Everything was going well, and we were going to have a pre-test of the game. We pressed the green flag, and… and… the sprite followed the mouse and touched the edge, which made us game over. Mr. Bertoia gave us an easier idea. Why can’t we use the key arrows? At first we thought that using the mouse would be faster, and harder at some point. So, we thought about it, and stayed using the mouse as the controller. We thought about it for too long, so after a while there, “A problem always occurs, we might have to use Mr. Bertoia’s idea, I think it will be much easier,” I said. So, we agreed. We are going to use the key arrows as the controllers.

Now, we are still working in scratch to make the game work, and we’re still trying to find commands for the sprite to move, and hard for the players to play with. But, we worked on it in class and here is our maze game, try it!

Digital divide

Hain — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 03:38:08 +0000

What is Digital Divide?

- Gap between those who have access to technology and those who do not

- Some people cannot afford a computer

- People cannot have access to benefits of modern technology

- People are not educated enough/ it is too hard for the people to use the computer/technology in a way that is more benefiting

- Only richer and people on “higher” positions can have the access to technology, and the usability divides.

Setting Response Card Jason & Marceline

JackieB — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:51:36 +0000

The setting takes place in a variety of places that you would usually go to. For example, they frequently go to movie theaters, just like us. Because they are still young high schoolers, the setting takes place a lot in school! As you can see already, there are so much to connect through in this book. The setting takes place both at night and in the morning, sometimes in the back of gas stations, and sometimes over at each other’s houses. These are all places I have been to, except of course The Bushes. I would think for me, The Bushes could be just referred to as regular hang-out places that people enjoy keeping it a secret from others. The movies are basically the same as they described it, except there aren’t as may people who watch movies in the movie theater as they describe it in the book. The school sounds mostly like our school where there’s a walkway and a place people can chill in before school starts. The different classes they take our basically the same things we take. Literary devices that were used by the author, Jerry Spinelli, to create pictures in the reader’s mind about the setting was imagery. When he was describing “The Bushes,” he explained how long thick bushes grew and it was like a maze where it took forever to come out. This is a modern story, and one that could even sound like the characters are real, and there are actually places like their school and The Bushes. I could almost instantly know that it was a modern story because of the different places the characters went to, how they were described, and also how the character’s talked. The setting didn’t really put so much impact on the characters. It does limit the places the characters could go, so where different students goes to hang out determines what each of the student’s personality is like. For example, the smarter and determined people would go to libraries to study. Students who enjoy hanging out more would go behind Seven Eleven stores and do things that aren’t really appropriate. Different places characters like Jason and Marceline goes to changes they’re moods. When one of them is over at another’s house, they’re pretty playful around each other. If Jason isn’t fooling around, they’re playing a serious match of Scrabble that go on forever. On the contrary, when they’re in the movies, they enjoy watching the movies, commenting, and maybe sometimes even “sharing their love” for each other, like holding hands, etc.

Jason & Marceline is a really cute and wonderful story about two average high-schooler’s changing from friends, to best friends, to lovers. It also gives the reader a basic knowledge about how some high schools are like, and how people’s emotions can change. Jerry Spinelli, I think, does a great job of explaining conflicts high schoolers can go through the the climax point of their lives, and also the happy times each high schoolers enjoy.

Author’s Craft Response Card OBAMA: A Promise of Change

JackieB — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:33:47 +0000

This book contains a lot of interesting and “mind-gripping” quotes, mostly from President Barack Obama’s speeches. One of the lines that really grabbed my attention was, “There’s not a liberal America and a conservative America, there’s the United States of America. There’s not a black America and white America and latino America and asian America. There’s the United States of America. We are one people.” Doesn’t it grab your attention? It’s a really unique speech, one that I haven’t heard anyone talk about. There’s repetition in the sentence which does more zooming in for the reader’s attention. It also shows how much of a strong leader he is. You just start to trust him. The way the author has written the story makes the readers sort of go “Whoa,” and at the same time understand that we could be someone as miraculous as Barack Obama. David Mendell, the author of this book’s writing paints the image of America’s first African American’s whole life like a timeline; from when he had an afro and couldn’t understand different racial issues, until when he gives his final speech before being voted the president of the Untied States of America. There wasn’t a specific word that the author used to help me see things in the story, but he did open up my ears on how Obama became Obama. It also gave me the strong feeling of determination that there is nothing that can stop you when you’re ambitious about your future. Racial issues don’t matter, where you come from doesn’t matter, how you did before doesn’t matter if you have the strong will of … affirmation. It also whispers to me how hardships are always involved in success, but the one who can break through all of them become one of the few people that become historical figures. After reading this book, it got me to think more ahead of what I wanted to do and how I would achieve it. “‘I had two plates and two towels,’ Obama recalled.” There are more quotes like these that really emphasize how hard Obama had to live. It’s almost like a hyperbole. Because this story was more of a biography of a part of someone’s life, there wasn’t TONS of descriptiveness. It does paint a vivid image of one’s feeling though. There weren’t really dialogues in this book, but I could really imagine Obama saying different things mentioned in the books to the author, David Mendell.

Read Obama: A Promise of Change to see how a historical figure became himself, and the many obstacles he had to face, climb over, and how sometimes, he tripped and fell and had a difficult time getting back up.

Character Response Card A Girl’s Life Online

JackieB — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:13:37 +0000

The main character is mostly Katherine Tarbox, and a mysterious Mark from an online chat box. The minor characters are little Tarbox’s mother and father. Katherine is a young, innocent girl who is still curious about the bigger world and is not aware about the dangers in the cyber world. I couldn’t say her personality traits are bad or good. It is a good thing she’s still kind and innocent like any other younger teens. The bad thing is, she likes to keep things to herself a lot and she tends to be a little bit shy around others. She enjoys to blow dry her hair and believe she must be fashionable and wear different things everyday. Also, she thinks going out to public places with curly hair is the most humiliating thing in the whole wild world. It is natural for kids living in this region to be this way, because EVERYBODY around here is all extremely pretty and rich. The only people that get attention, and mostly negative ones, are the “ugly-s.” Katherine is also in the prettier side of the region. The mysterious Mark on a random online chat box is said to be 23. To Tarbox, he seems like the perfect guy. Innocent like her, understanding, and doesn’t have sex as a motivation to talk to girls like her. He also seems to really care about Katherine. Katherine’s parents are both mostly workaholics and gone for the most part of a day, except of course, on days like Christmas. Mrs. Tarbox loves her daughter a lot, but they seem to become a lot more distant as time passes. Katherine’s current dad is her step-father. According to Katherine, they both love each other passionately even with all the fights they have together. I heard that couples who really love each other are the ones that argue the most because they care. Katherine is a more dynamic character because she is the main character of the book. Her emotions, feelings, and thoughts change a lot from time to time. Mark doesn’t actually show up in person until the end of the book, and he acts the same most of the time with little change, so he’s the static character. The parents are, to me, considered round characters. It’s not like they’re doing nothing, because towards the end of the book, they do change a bit. In the end, Katherine starts to understand how helpful the cyber world can be, but at the same time how dangerous it is. Katherine is a bit shocked after the Mark incident, but becomes more cautious about someone she talks to. I would really want to meet Katherine Tarbox as a young child, and tell her what it was really like talking to Mark. Then, how it felt after finding out who he really was. I would start to ask her a lot of questions about what it is like living in a world where everyone is so … beautiful. What would the world have been like when Internet was still pretty new to everybody? I would also like to meet Mark and ask why he would change so suddenly to Katherine and become a whole different person? What did Katherine ever do to Mark? I would also tell him to NEVER do anything like that ever again unless he really wants to hurt such a big part of someone’s life, including his own.

A Girl’s Life Online is an autobiography of a part of the author, Katherine Tarbox’s life. Not only does it capture what could happen in the danger world of the internet, but she catches the setting and history well.

Plot Response Card Finger Lickin’ Fifteen

JackieB — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:51:33 +0000

Finger Lickin’ Fifteen by Janet Evanovich tells a story about a young woman, Stephanie Plum’s, brief moment in her life. The story starts off with one her of co-worker and also best friend, Lula, becoming the prime witness of a murder. Unfortunately, the only police she would discuss what she saw is Stephanie’s “sort of ex-boyfriend,” Trenton cop Joe Morelli. While she’s in the middle of trying to help out Lula and preventing her family to get winded up in the murder, in the morning, she is running around catching run-aways who won’t show up at court, and helping a good and “her hope boyfriend” Ranger(Carlos Manoso) catch the traitor. Even worse, Lula is trying to catch the murderer to get a million dollar reward, instead of smartly hiding out in a safe place. Lula entered a competition of barbecue sauce and made sure Stephanie’s grandma joined with her! In this novel, Stephanie Plum must find a way out of and manage to solve each problem she faces which includes catching the traitor in Ranger’s company, keeping Lula and her grandmother away from further trouble, pleasing her parents and bringing a husband, and managing to do her own job altogether. Although trying to solve all these tremendous conflicts seem impossible, Stephanie seems to be able to pull everything together and tidy up all the loose ends-except for finding a husband to please her parents, of course. As time passes, things gradually seem to fit together and life starts to make sense to her. She manages to save Lula from getting shot at by the idiotic murderers, catches the traitor only to find out they’re not from the company, and after doing all these things at once, she fits in time for her own work as well. Before the accomplishment, Stephanie had to climb mountains of obstacles. Her own home was burnt down by accident, she lost her cars 3 times, she is being stressed to get married, and she can’t make up her mind about her love life. These obstacles may sound like a joke, but it messed everything around a lot. I couldn’t guess the ending, especially the part about the hacker not being a traitor in the company. If my guess actually was the ending, I would have made the story a bit more epic and turn it around more. The hacker that had been hacking away confidential information about the Rangeman company could’ve actually been the most trusted secretary of Ranger. Stephanie could’ve decided to get back together with Morelli and maybe even consider marriage. The actual murders who have been haunting down Lula could’ve been the crazy ex-boyfriend. I had a lot of guesses in my mind, so the real ending blew my mind. This novel really was humorous and realistic at the same time, so there was a lot where I could connect to. If I had to choose one best part, it would be when Stephanie finds out how the hacker could’ve got in. She figures out that there could’ve been a sensor in the machinery room where the hacker could’ve got in to download the files. Finally a joy of relief starts to fill the atmosphere!

Finger Lickin’ Fifteen is a great novel that will really humor the reader.

In the process of making this game, we had a lot problems to deal with, and sometimes it got really frustrating. Just getting the bat to breath fire took us more than 2 periods for us to figure it out. But when we finally did it it feel real good, it’s the feeling of accomplishment I guess. And I got really exited to play they game that we created, we put blood, sweat and tears into it. Now that I have this game, Bat of Doom, I don’t need my PS3 anymore. In your face, Sony. Haha

Scratch Project – The Team Work, The Ideas, and The Laughs

TinD — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:17:50 +0000

“So what do you think? What type of games should we choose? Forever, or stage?” I said

“I prefer forever” Yeon Su answered with an excitement in his voice

“I don’t mind” said Lulu

The project had brought all of my group’s ideas together. We all had different thoughts, we all likes different types of game, but we all had to agree on one game only. At first, we were stuck on which game too choose from because there were so many options(i.e. ping pong, snake, pump, etc). However, we also had to think about how we are going create it scratch. It was a tough challenge . At first we thought about creating a ping pong game, but our teacher – Mr. Bertoia – said that it will be hard to created. As he explain, we started to understand that ping pong might not be the best type of game to make.

As the class went on, we went to many different game website to find example of the game that we will make. None of us thought that it would be so hard of a process. Personally, I thought that making game is as easy as making cereal for breakfast. But making game in scratch take a lot of process, which is not what I expected.

Next class, we finally agree on making “Snake” . It is a classic game that our group new from Nokia phone. We played it before so it will be easier to talk about it and it is not hard to make. We used the other work that others done before as an inspiration to what we are working on (we don’t copy!). Through the project so far, we laughs and a lot of talking, but it was a fun experience and that will definitly help me in the future

I read this article about this guy having to watch Avatar 3 times to do his “compare and contrast” thing. I have to say this guy is abit harsh and he seeks alot of wantings. Different kinds of movie of course have different kinds of seats and people who watches it. In a 3D theatre, the seat is obviously much more luxury than the 2D and Imax. I’ve watched Avatar in 2D and 3D and both are great! But I would perfer 2D because the quality is just what the audience is asking for and 3D kinds of freaks me out. Warnings to those who have heart attack should not watch movies in 3D. I’m sure you all know the reason why. 3D is like right in front of your face and it does gets scary sometime like the characters in the movie wants to eat you alive.

When you put effort into something– (Scratch-collaboration Project Reflection)

Lulu — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 09:51:26 +0000

I stretched my arms to my sides, stuck out my index fingers, and poked the two boys sitting beside me, “Com’on guys, whaddya think?”

“What you say? …Oh…i think it’s okay,” Yeon Su gave me that and turned back continuing to play his game.
I stared at him.

I turned around to the other guy, “You?”
“Ah, with me – this professional – here, it’s gonna be easy. And plus, I think it’s a pretty good idea,” Tin waved me off and continued to do whatever he was doing.
I eyed him and rolled my eyes.

I turned back to face my screen. Snake…?
Well, I guess it’s going to be pretty okay…I thought.

I then dragged the two of them to our tech teacher – Mr. Bertoia – and explained to him our new idea.
It got approved.

So you ask me, designing a scratch project is that simple? No, I tell you, it’s not:

Few weeks ago, I was assigned into a group of 3. As mentioned, the two boys – Yeon Su and Tin -, are my partners. We were told to programme a game on Scratch. At first, I was pretty glad that I am in a group because first of all, I am a novice on Scratch; secondly, I know nothing about games. Simply, I don’t play games. And the teacher expects me to programme one? You must be kidding me…T^T.
So when we got into our own groups, I realized that I have partners who stands at the same line as I am. They don’t play games either.
“Well, not anymore,” They told me.

Like any other projects and assignments are done, the first thing you do is BRAINSTORM. Yes, brainstorm, brainstorm, brainstorm. Hence, the we-don’t-play-games-[anymore] group started to brainstorm about games we can actually create. As predicted, we came up with some pretty common ideas.
Then, Yeon Su suddenly suggested, “How about a Ping-Pong game?”
The other partner of mine – Tin – followed, “Ooooo…that could be a good idea…”
They turned to me. “I don’t mind,” I quickly added.

Finally, our no-experience-in-games group came up with the idea of designing a Ping-Pong game. Following our brainstorming, now we have to decide on how the game will work and what it will contain. We were pretty excited about it. Pretty.

It wasn’t until the next class that Mr. Bertoia declared our game will not be considered doing.
“It is going to be hard to programme,” he stated. And then he went on explaining the difficulties we might face while doing the project if we want to conduct a Ping-Pong game.

After listening to why our game isn’t recommended doing, I figured that we didn’t consider meticulously about how exactly we are going to programme the game. We are being naive. Wait…does that mean we will have to “re-brainstorm” our game…? T^T Com’on…

Anyways, the 3 of us dragged ourselves back to our seats and began searching and looking up for suitable games for us to programme. Lastly, as all of you might know, we came up with the game “Sanke”.
Ever played a game on Nokia? You’ve always got the game “Snake” there. Yea, that’s what we’re doing here. We figured that we won’t need a lot of sprites – which made everything easier for us all. For the rest of the class that day, we focused on how the whole game will be set up, what costumes and sprites we are going to use, and how we are going to programme it. Though it took time and thinking, everything is working fine so far now. And that’s what I got while doing collaboration-Scratch project.
A faliure in one idea doesn’t mean everything else wouldn’t work out, because there is always a solution to an issue. It is just that it takes some time, effort, help, teamwork, and thinking until you can make things work like it does for other people.

World Water Day

Jenny — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 05:24:55 +0000

The world’s most treasured resource – fresh water – is running out. Only 46% of the people in Africa have access to potable drinking water. More than 1.2 billion people in the world today are deprived of this basic right.

The world needs to be reminded that water is not a renewable resource and that it is vital to support sustainable water management. The World Water Day, first launched by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993 following the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, is held annually on March 22 for that purpose.

Most people are not aware that simple actions can make a difference. For instance, washing vegetables and fruits in a bowl of water will waste less water than washing them under the running tap. Cutting off 1 minute in the shower saves about 100 gallons of water (roughly 450 liters) in a month. That amount of water can save hundreds of lives. Remember that reducing domestic water usage is not as hard as you think. I’m sure doing homework is much harder.

This year, the Environmental Club would like to organize a small event to raise awareness about this issue. However, unfortunately, Spring Break starts on March 20 which prompts us to move the World Water Day to a later date. More information will be updated once we get permission from the Principal.

Please take some time to read these pages:

Ling has a very happy life when she was 9 year old. Her parents both were worked in the best hospital in Wuhan. Ling love to study English with her father. Every thing was perfect before the Chairman Mao came and took over China. All luxuries such as flowers fabric and delicious food that Ling usually to have, now disappear. All the people in the West became Chairman Mao‘s suspect. Then one of the Chairman Mao‘s man moved into Ling‘s apartment. The Wong‘s family, Ling‘s upstair neighbor, Ling‘s family annd the Wong‘s family is best friend. But then the Wong‘s family got arrested away, also Ling‘s parents got demote from the work. Ling‘s school life is a nightmare, she become enemy with the son of the Chairman Mao‘s man and she got beat up so badly at school and also being bully because the seen as bourgeois. Then later on, Ling‘s father also got took away from the Chairman Mao‘s men. One day, Ling‘s father has saved a Chairman Mao‘s man. Ling and her mother must survive alone as further horrors around. At the end, the government‘s people had came, save everyone and arrested all the Chairman Mao‘s to the jail forever.

In this story, the main part is when Chairman Mao took over China and lead everyone, and the finally the China‘s government people had stand up and fight for their country again for freedom and justice. The ending in this story was incredible, there‘s no other ending that can beat is story‘s ending. I would never think that the ending will be this great. With me the beat part in the story is when Ling stand up and fight for herself and her family when her friend in school called her family is anti-revolution and using bad words to talk about her parents. Even though she might die or being arrest to the labor camp for fight with the Chairman Mao‘s man but she still beat him up anyway. That part show out the loves from her to her father and mother, also the bravest in Ling when she stand up and fight with a bunch of boys standing around her.

Reflection on Scratch Project

Justine — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:22:40 +0000

“I guess they don’t like the shooting idea.”
“It’s no biggy. Just take it off.”
“Yeah, it’s easier to program anyway.”

I continue to click on the picture of the mushroom sprite (that was to be our so called “bullet”) and pressed the delete button. I thought it was a pretty cool idea though…

“I think popping balloons with a car is easier anyway.” I said reluctantly.
“It could’ve been challenging.”

I looked over at my partner, Brian, who had shrugged when he said it… and I said “Yeah, it could’ve…”

This project is not completed and is still in progress. This is part of a collaboration. Now, instead of the cars bouncing off of the green area, they return to the starting position.

I would prefer to take my Avatar in the Three-Dimensional. I watched the movie avatar it was good. But it was too long and I didnt had the chance to watch it on 3-D so i dont know what’s it like. But if had the chance, it would be awesome because you got to watch the awesomese movie ever in 3d for 3 hours after you might get dizzy but it was worthit. I can imagine watchin it, in the movie there’s a lot of fighting and a lot of incredible effect and if you watch in 3D you would be like : “OMG, thats the awesomese movie i ever saw”

For some reason, this article is really funny. The guy that was writing this article was a bit mean, but the way he talked was really funny. I think it does’t really matter if we watch in 3D or 2D because it is the same story, nothing really change. I watched this movie for 3 times already, one from the computer and 2 times from the theather. I think this movie was the best movie in 2010. The movie was really creative and I liked the Na’vi people. They are really unlike from the normal human beings. I wanted to watch from the 3D, but someone changed my mind. My friend, she said wearing those glasses hurts her nose and she had a headache, so I changed my mind to just watch in 2D.

How do you take your ‘Avatar’?

Watching Avatar is a good experience, and it could be made even better if you choose the best cinema that fits you. For example, watching it in 2-D might ruin the experience, while watching it in 3-D may ruin your eyes. The average movie-goer might be confused about which to take, so here’s my opinion on this movie.

Watching a 3-D movie enhances the movie experience. But at some points, there are already 3-D holograms in the movie, so the glasses change it into a 9-D picture. It works fine when Jake was in the Jungle, but at other points it was just plain annoying.

In 2-D, you are now in the third-person view. But a least now your eyes don’t need to strain so much just to watch the movie. So now you can enjoy it as much as you want.

In my opinion the 2-D movie is better. Even though it’s a third-person view, least its better not putting the strain on your eyes.

My experience with Scratch

UKi16 — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:33:36 +0000

when i start the scratch it felt really weird. I was thinking , why do i have to do this?? But after working on scratch, i felt it is interasting. I liked scratch because we can control and make our own characters. I didn’t felt frustrating because it was fun and amazing. I still want to improve my skill on scratch and make more advance assignments. (My own) I didn’t know anything about scratch, but not now. I’ve learn broadcasting, the most interasting ones. I just like using broadcast because we can order the other objects to act at the same time. In Conclusion, i like scratch because its a advance stu

My Experience with Scratch.

Jshon16 — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:33:29 +0000

What has been fustrating about Scratch for me was that sometimes there is no simple way of doing something. You have to do it the hard and long way. I thought that the most fustrating part I’ve ever had since playing with Scratch.
What I liked about Scratch was that you could experience how to make a game or others with those codes.
I would like to do some complicated things or games based on complicated codes so that ny game I created would be very interesting.
I have learn most of the codes in the “Motion, Looks, Sounds, Control, Sensing, and Operators.” I usually like to use almost every codes form those parts I just told you above.

clin16 — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:27:17 +0000

Scratch is not frustrating. I like scratch because we have to use our brain a lot to make a stuff move. I will want to make a game. I know that the game is hard but I will try my best to finish it. I learn all the small meterial in the scatch. I even learn how to make a person or animal… move. so I will want to learn how to make movie and game. I wish I can learn more from the teacher. I will try my best!

Scratch Review

vzimmermann16 — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:26:03 +0000

Scratch has been okay at some point in time I just wanted it all to magicaly work like to find the right sound that was frustrating.
I like that it is easy to format and understand and that it is easy to look for the problems, it is well organised.
I would like to make something more addvanced like a game or a real story not just stuff thrown together in my head.
I learned how to use the broadcast scrip I like this beacuse it helps me make curiton things easyer and simpler. I also like it because it let me make things from two sprits do things at the same time.

Reflection Scratch

HBae16 — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 03:23:18 +0000

What was the most fustrating thing while I was doing scratch was to make sprites talk to eachother. I could get only sprites to talk by them selves without nobody answering back. But after I learned broadcast and when I recieve thing I could do it easily. What I liked about this progam is that I could use the sprites and backgound and play around with it and could make fun stories and every task would be a new adventure of joyfulness. I would still like to make little stories with sprites and backgrounds. I like to use the broadcast and recieve spript and it was best thing I learned because I could make sprites talk to eachother and could make things move.

Call Waiting – Theme/Mood Response

KKang15 — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:26:26 +0000

In this story, the author’s message was to be nice to everyone, take care of them, and don’t lie. I thought of this theme because of the ending of this book. When Ethan tries to break-up with Karen, everytime Ethan calls Karen, she gets callwaitings that threatens her, saying that he’ll kill her. But when Chris, Karen’s older brother and her mom, realizes that Karen gets these frightening calls, they realize that Karen was just lieing. The way they got was that their house phone don’t have call waitings. At the end Karen tells everyone that she did it to get Ethan’s attention. But even after she confesses, now, there is a real call from a person, threatening her. Karen gets confussed and scared for few days, but one day, when that person calls her again, through the phone she hears something familiar. Which was Mikah’s clock sound. Mikah was Karen’s best friend. But she also liked Ethan. Really much. So Mikah tried to convince Ethan to break-up with Karen, and go out with her. First Ethan was attracted by Mikah, but there was a big mistake. When Karen realizes that the one who called was Mikah, she heads to Mikah’s house. There, Mikah’s surprising face, she spits out all the surprising words. That she has done this because she liked Ethan, and she also wanted to make Ethan feel Karen’s crazy. But here, Mikah made a mistake. She was actually talking to Ethan over the phone, and she didn’t hang up before she started to talk to Karen. As soon as Ethan listens to the conversation, he heads to Mikah’s house, and holds on to Karen tightly. But this story wasn’t as fun as I thought. The ending was ‘ok,’ but not that surprising or scary or fun. None of the parts were funny in this story, the story got more serious over time. There was also no saddest part. None of the parts were sad. The most exciting part was when Karen started to get frightening phone calls at school and at her house. Also when Mikah was telling her the reasons she was the one who was making those frightening phone calls to Karen. The mood of this story was silently silent. It was a book that really made me nervous and read more over time. Because R.L. Stine wrote this Fear Street series and the Goosebump series, I think it could have been easy for him to get in this mood to the story.

Scratch Time!!

ttran16 — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:22:56 +0000

While,doing Scratch I find the sound most frustrating to work with the most because you have to find the right sound for the movement and background. The most I like about the Scratch is the the talking because you can make them say what you what them to say.To me what I would like to do it to make some thing that the little kids like. I like the broadcast and the recieve comand it was interesing to use then because you can make two things happen at the same time. While working at the Scratch I learn a lot of thing to help me when doing the programs I create. See ya

blagabber

Dominique — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:25:25 +0000

Have you ever wanted to take revenge? Well, now is your time!

Even though it was invented back in 1910, the Blagabber has not been majorly produced until now!Invented by the Blagabber brothers, Tom and Jerry, the Blagabber was created in the Rockie Mountains. Tom and Jerry didn’t want to climb up the deadly cliffs, so they decided to make flying shoes. Their plan backfired though, and it evolved into the Blagabber! We are not sure, but we think that the exact date was November 12,1910. The Blagabber is a pair of remote controlled shoes, that when put on, whoever has the remote can control the person wearing the shoes.Though origanally only made out of sneakers, we have now expanded to producing a full range of shoes in the colors of: pink, green,blue,white and red. They also come in rainbow patterns, flames, camo, and multi-colored sequins. The prices vary, due to this fact. If you want to buy them either call 842-6641 in the United States and Canada, or contact us at: www.blagabberwillriseagain.com . Thanks!!!(the website is fake)

Blagabber

Sama — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:24:44 +0000

Man’s best friend, the greatest human invention, the biggest leap in mankind! What is it? The Blagabber.It was Invented by seven-time Nobel prize winner, Dr. Sama Mundlay. She told us exactly how she worked on the Blagabber, making it the most sold item for 5 years running , ” On a sunny summer morning, I was lounging around when an idea struck me. I started working on it, and the following morning, the first prototype was made. Interesting results,but I knew it wasn’t right. Months passed, but time was endless in my mansion in Delhi. I persevered , and on my 14th birthday, I did it. That year, the year 2012, was the best of my life! ” This mini robot grabbed a hold of the world’s entertainment system, and changed it forever . Made as an amoeba shaped, navy blue, fluffy, silky blob, after two months its shape shifting and color changing abilities came into action. Extremely adaptable, it eats anything and is programmed to listen to you like a best friend . The blagabber learns to speak in a couple of days upon creation. Modern blagabbers have the same text messaging chips implanted in their brain like humans. In fact, the latest version of the blagabber, The Blagabber 3000, can carry out the same number of functions as humans, except sight, because it uses scent to see , as its nose is extremely sensitive .The blagabber can be anyone’s best friend, but you have to apply for yourself or for someone who can’t. A few days later, you’ll receive a text and, if you’ve been approved, a blagabber. In the first few days, be sure to establish a name because even before it can talk, its ears still pick up things and remember them. The blagabber can be a pet for a family, a best friend for a child, and a companion for all. It only costs 3,454,241.99 Mundlays, which is about $925.99. Who needs a dog when you’ve got a Blagabber?

What I Have Learned in Scratch So~ Far

SKim16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:45:17 +0000

What has been frustrating?
The most frustrating thing about Scratch was when I was learning how to play sounds when the sprite was moving because it was a bit challenging.
What did you like about the program?
I liked the fact that Scratch could make video games and stuff like that.
What do you still want to learn?
I want to learn how to make more complicated games with more if and then commands.
One programming script I’ve learned how to do:
I have learned to “broadcast” things; another type of command.

What I learned in Scratch

HHan16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:45:14 +0000

What has been frustrating?
What has made me frustrating is like when we have to make them move when we have to find where to put in x and y.
What have you liked about the program
I liked the program because it’s cool after doing all those hard things. When we watch what we did until this time you will feel good, happy.
What do you still want to learn?
I want to still learn about making games like mario and pac man. I want to still learn how to do IF and broadcast more.
One programming script you’ve learned how to do?
i learned how to do broad cast and how to import things.

Scratch!

ALy16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:44:38 +0000

When i first used scratch, I hated it! It was fustrating because I didn’t know how to function some of the options on this program. I thought it was useless because all we did was make things move. But then I discovered that scratch was pretty fun when I knew it better.
I like this program because it really helped me to be better at learning how to learn programs. And also because I like how it could ask questions and then we can answer it and something else will happen! That was fun!
I still would like to learn how to make games on scratch. I think I wouldn’t learn that till I’m in seventh grade or even 8th. Which i wouldn’t be there… But i still wish to learn that because i will know I would have so much fun!
One program script that I learned was to do the “if” command and to ask questions!! I really like that command because its just cool! Also how to make the sprite disappear part by part.
In conclusion, I really like this program now, at least alot more then before, and I wish to keep learning this program in my new school in Canada! =]

I find what was frustrating me is that the back ground can’t change on mine and i tried everything!!=[ But they have the cutest monkey I've ever seen!!!!=]] I would like to know how to make the characters running but make it look like its realy(like mario kart). I want to keep playing around with the scratch and learn muchhh more stuff. I learned how to make it talk and let the people aswer which is probably my faveroite part.

Scratch Reflection

SAzahar16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:44:14 +0000

What has been frustrating
What really has been fustrating is to try and moving the sprites, turning their bodies, and putting in the sound because you have to presicely know when to move and turn their bodies and putting the sound is hard to put in exactly at the time.

What you have liked about the program
What I liked about Scratch is making the broadcasting because it’s fun and it’s easy and I like making the conversations between the sprites.

What you still would like to do
I would still like to learn all of the techniques on scratch so that I could make my stories better.

One programming script you’ve learned how to do
I learned on how to switch the costumes of the sprites.

My Scratch Experimenting

VKhuong16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:42:00 +0000

When I heard about Scratch and about how the programming thing works and I thought it would be fun. So now I experiment with it and also have fun with it. We also do it in class since we learn about it. Mostly, some frustrating things about scratch is that you have to make a lot of scripts and other stuff to make it move and etc. Our teacher said that we should ethier learn it by yourself or ethier ask him how to do it. What I really like about the program is that you could almost make it do what ever you want, sorta. It’s also fun to do and kinda make a game out of that program. I really want to know how to make more advanced games in Scratch because I know only simple things in Programing with Scratch like switching costumes and movingt/gliding them and lots of other stuff. I also want to know how to use the ” Pen, Varibles, and Operators ” I don’t know what they do.

Miracle Experience with Mr. Lumsen

JThompson16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:41:03 +0000

The most frustrating thing in scratch i have ever done is “if” and “broadcast” command. I got confused in the part how to make the other character or the sprite receive the broadcast command. The “if” command was kind of hard because if you say if something touch this, it must do this. so what can it touch? what can it do? That’s the part that confused me the most, but, i got it. The part I like the most is the part where you can import images, sounds, and animated gifs from the internet and we can do our own project. I wanted to do a story or a film that we could invented by ourself. i learn how to do the if command, how to make a character to dance, move, glide, and recieve broadcast command.

Shooting

jyap16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:40:26 +0000

I found out that just to find out how to do the starting of teh project when the cat just starts of first, But its not that easy to just start picking out different controls out. Thats frustating to me. What I liked about the program is that you can do so many cool things, it makes me think on how games are created in real life. I would still like to make more cool programing with the scratch program. One programing script i learned to do is that i learned to record sounds with the microphone on my computer and record my very own sound to use when I make my scratch project.

Personal Feelings in ICT6*

Nkim16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:38:12 +0000

So first when I came in the ict room and we started to use scratch and the teacher did’nt help us with the scratch. First, I was kind of scared and frustrated when he said NO HELP!! So I was worried what to do if I don’t know how to do a thing. But now I think learning by myself is ok too! I liked how we can make a little movie or a little mivements. It was really fun and cool to watch examples. So I think I learned a lot. I would love to learn how to make more advaced things like to make a real movie not exactly but liek a simple movie. AND I want to learn how to learn how to computergraphics. heehee~ I think it would be fun and then when we know how to do that then we know how the movies work. I learned how to make a character ask something to the viewer and so the viewer can answer to the scratch’s questions. First time I tried it was really cool! So I think I could do everything else easily but when I discovered the question thing I thought it was really cool.

A Fun Experience

RDeticio16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:35:56 +0000

Scratch is a very fun program for everyone and it will teach people to program and make your own games, animations, and movies and when you finish it it is very fun to watch after all the work you did. Scratch is sometimes frustrating because all of the command in every sprite and you must try and try it until it works like you want it to be. Actually Scratch is more fun than frustrating because of the many and fun things you can do in Scratch. In Scratch, I still want to do my own simple game that has a easy rule and easy to play. Some scripts I learned are the clicking the green flag, if command, repeat command, motion commands, look commands, sound commands, and control commands, especially broadcasting. Overall, Scratch is a really fun program.

Scratch Experience

RVentura16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:26:08 +0000

When I started doing Scratch in ICT Class, it was a fun experience for me. I was able to make things move by itself, and I was able to move a Sprite, using the arrow keys. I learned how to make the Sprite talk and do other things, like making it be able to broadcast stuff. I would like to learn how to use the variables in Scratch. Though what was frustrating about Scratch was being able to broadcast things, because it took quite a lot of work to broadcast. So this is what I think about Scratch, and what I have learned when we were using Scratch in ICT Class.

My Scratch Experience

LChen16 — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:13:42 +0000

So far in scratch, i think that you have to think about many different things at a time, which means you have to think like a few steps forward, which was something that was frustrating. I like that you can make it as simple/complicated as you want. I would like to make another scratch animation. And i think that i enjoy the programming script where you ask a question and if you answer the question, something comes out like a different sprite or a sound. I learned this type of script from a part of a tutorial.

I usually watch movies in 2D because it’s much more cheaper. I have watched Avatar in 2D form and I would love to watch Avatar in IMAX. People who watched Avatar prefer to watch Avatar in IMAX and I really want to watch it. I have watched a movie in 3D but there were few action scenes which was boring, but for Avatar, there are lots of action scenes so I think it’ll be much more fun and exciting. The part when the rhino chased Jack, it was really thrilling and exciting. It will be much more better watching with those cool glasses, huge screen, with fun and excitements. Sometimes, the glasses make you dizzy, but if you are deep into the movie, you don’t notice. I would prefer watching Avatar in IMAX form or 3D form.

The new movie “Avatar” by James Cameron was a legendary movie, having started some fifteen years ago, technology was not at a point where Avatar could be created. But now, we can, and we did. The visuals are amazing, and 3-D and I-max theaters do nothing but help it along it’s path to greatness. I personally have only seen the regular 2-D version, but friends and family tell me that the 3-D version was amazing, if a little bit of an eyesore. If I had to pick one to watch, however, I would choose the I-Max version. According to this article (http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/how-do-you-take-your-avatar-well-you-can-take-it-one-of-three-ways/?scp=5&sq=avatar&st=cse) I-Max is the most refreshing, enjoyable way to watch this movie legend.

I read this article about someone having to compare and contrast the three versions of the movie “Avatar.” To me, that person seems like a pretty strict person. He has very high expectations when it comes to watching a movie. He talks about the seating, the audience, the previews, and of course, the movie. He watched it in 3D, 2D, and Imax. I’ve watched it three times, twice in 2D, and once in 3D. Even though I’ve seen it twice in 2D, I still don’t have the “bored, or uninterested” feeling. I liked 2D way better than 3D. I used the word “headache” a lot when I was putting sticky notes on the webpage. It is because the headache bugged me a lot; I couldn’t concentrate on the movie. Not only that, the glasses was also heavy, making my nose hurt a little. I think this person thinks that the movie Avatar, isn’t the most striking movie ever, like it’s not interesting enough for him. But, I’m not a movie critique, and I just like to watch movies peacefully. So, I would just pick the 2D version.

Plot Response-Five Go To Demon’s Rocks

JohnC — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 07:52:20 +0000

Main events:
-4 children(George, Anne, Dick, Julian) and a dog settle in George’s home only to find that a professor and his son are already staying there!
-They decide to settle in the professor’s son’s lighthouse
-All 6 of the children meet an old man called Jeremiah, who tells them about legendary gold hidden in ‘Wrecker’s Cave’. The wreckers were three men who, in the past, continuously wrecked ships to steal their gold…The man mentions and many, even their sons, have tried looking for it but none succeeded
-They decide to explore the cave but find nothing like Gold. Instead, they find the ’sons’ who were still trying to look for the Gold.
-However, in a drain under the lighthouse, Dick and Julian discover Gold Coins flowing down stream…Which means that the drain leads to the cave where the Gold was being kept…
-They contact the police who, in the end, capture the Gold and the villain seekers…

The main problem in the story was finding the gold…Finding the gold was not an easy task. First of all, they had to enter the Wrecker’s Cave which was, at the moment, being used for a tourist attraction. It was led by the 2 sons, who they themselves, searched for years to find the gold.

Yes. I predicted that the Famous Five will eventually find the gold and stop the men…The author could have ended it in a way when the 2 men end up finding and keeping the gold.

I think the best part was when Dick and Julian went under the lighthouse’s drain system and found falling pieces of gold! Its like having money fall out of the sky! In other words, ‘Raining Money!’
