What I Thought Of The Lottery...

What I thought of The Lottery is that its a school were alot of parents want their children to go to but not all of them are lucky....Well, I have a few question:Why does the school only allow a certain number of kids...?..Why cant they just make more schools of the Harlem Success Academy..?....Why do they have to go through a Lottery.?....I think that getting into Harlem Success Academy is very important to the families because Harlem is a very good school and their parents/families want them to get the best education that their child can recive....

Harlem Success Academy...../The Lottery...

The Lottery is about a Charter School...Many people want their children to get in but they will have to wait on a waiting list...I dont know when they anounce who will get accepted.....Many kids will apply but many will not get in.....They have to go to a public lottery to see if their kid will get in....Its sad because many kids dont get in.....There are 4 families that they movie is interviewing.....There is 1 teacher that said...I used to teach 5th gradnt reers and alot of her 5th grade kids where reading at a 2nd grade level or below.58% of African American caad....African and Latino drop out the most then others.....These people are looking at African American Boys in 4th and 5th graders and looking at how many jail cells they need....That really suprised about that statement....Ameenah, this liitle girl made it into the lottery and got accepted....Gregory made it the following year....The other 2 kids(idontknow what their names are)didnt make it but tryed the next year....

Chicken Boy..

The book I am reading is a book called Chicken Boy....Ummmm Tobin is gonna join the track team while that is goin on Tobin wanted to live with his Granny but he hadnt made the disicion yet..Mean while his crazy grandma called the Social Security/CPS so Tobin can go live with her...His dad had to clean up everything around the house and buy food....Then they came over and asked Tobin a few questions.....Once they asked the question they said that it seemed like a good house for Tobin to live in.....Then while Dad was at work Tobin and Patrick were at the house and then Ms.Brighton came to his house then they took Tobin away...He asked where were they taking him...They said just for right now "New Foster Parents"...Idk what is going to happen next...I think that Tobin's Dad is gonna try to get him out and take him back home...

Imagine Your Own Game....

My Topic is: Bullying....
  • What 2 game genres do you think would allow you to explore this topic in a fun and engaging way?
    • Genre 1:Action and Adventure. 
    • Genre 2:Strategy.
  • Imagine and describe one game idea that incorporate your topic into one of these genres.
My game idea is:My game idea is going to be like you are in elementary school and there is a bully that is bullying a kid...You have to answer specific questions about bullying...If you get the question right you get a prize that you will need later on....If you get the question wrong you have to go back to the last level and start all over again but there is gonna be a different question each time you get it wrong....Each level is goin to be harder...There is one level were you are goin to have to try and help the kid thats getting bullied and try to defeat that bully...If you win there is gonna be an even harder level...But you have to defeat that bully..

New Classes/Schedule..

Ummmmm..Idk....I think that its cool to see new people....I like the part about us having to switch but I kinda miss my friends..(Iliana,andAriel)..It kinda feels weird because your like not used to the people that you are now...I only have a few people that I know that are in my thing...Its kinda cool to see your friends in the same class your in..The schedule looks VERY complicated but I think that I can work it out....Its fun meeting new people that you havent really talked to yet...When I saw that my other friends didnt have the same classes as me I kinda felt sad because I wasnt gonna see them...:(..Anyway...I kinda like the new classes..:]
