Student Blog Prompts - Astria Game

Hey Bloggers! Today in Extension Class we had played a new game created called the "Astria Game".  Our task was to complete certain levels to obtain documents to complete the game. We had to blog about some of the blog posts that they have given us. 

Blog #1 - A student in another school has recently blogged that:

“Students don’t learn much playing this game called Astria – Countdown to Impact: Their time could be better spent doing other things”.

Do you agree, disagree or partly agree/disagree?

Blog about what you think using evidence from the game to backup your views.

With this statement I partly agree. I think that this game is only based on targeting a certain audience not a whole mass. I think they could improve this game by making it a little less complex and more entertaining.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With increasing online and digital content, it is difficult to know real information from 'fake news'. Using evidence from the game you played (Astria: Countdown to Impact) write a blog to list the top 5 things you think people should watch out for to help identify fake news.

(* no story spoilers please!)

1. Sources that do not use complex language

2. Sources provided by characters who aren't experts on that factor

3. Fake News could be from sources you personally think that are not trustworthy

4. News could be fake if you identify unusual information

5. Irrelevant Information

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a scale of 1-5, how successfully did you problem solve with your partner today?

Please include any ways you would collaborate differently with them next time you play.

I would rate the scale an 3. We both quite weren't interested at first but after playing for quite an while we found it quite interesting. That was our/my opinion.

Artist - Art Explanation (Lady Pink)

Hey Bloggers! Today we had to pack an artist and explain 3 elements of art in one of their paintings. I have chosen Lady Pink. Lady Pink uses the elements of shape, color and texture in her paintings. 

Lady Pink's Art!

She uses the element of shape because she creates Graffiti Art on walls and shape is a popular use of element in Graffiti Art. She also uses it to express her state of mind and to define her own message and to also express her passion for Graffiti. 

She also uses the element of color to express her art from in a creative way. She has said that using bright colors promote her main message "Women Rights". She also likes to use ranges of colors in different memorials. 

Rubric we had to base the elements off. 

Lastly she uses texture to fade and color inside her art forms of Graffiti. Such as thick color fading into thin colors to maybe send or promote a type of message whether it's going from angry to happy.

Cross Country Advice

Are you having trouble with running? Is Cross Country coming up? Well here is some advice/tips for you to take.

First things first you could start by eating healthy foods on a daily basis such as fruits, vegetables and more foods that provide protein and energy. Healthy foods help your body by keeping it healthy, so this is really important if you are going to run a cross country race. Fruits provide a lot of energy and this would be great especially for a run.

Secondly you could start by drinking water. Water is really important and helps you keep hydrated. Keeping hydrated while running is really important especially if you get tired a lot during a run. If you don’t drink water your body will easily get dehydrated. Dehydration can lead and cause to bad headaches or you could get really sick. Your body will send signs as to thirst for water, keeping hydrated is good for your body and can get your body moving, so next time consider drinking water. You don’t want to be running around with a headache. 

Also you could start pacing yourself. Pacing yourself is really important even when you haven’t ran as long as the course. You could prepare yourself and get your body use to the course by running similar laps or simply jogging or walking along the course for daily exercise. This is good for your body so you know what to expect on the actual day. Next time you run a race practice and run around the course before the actual run. That would be really useful. 

Finally one of the most important things you could do is to sleep. Yes sleeping is really good for your body and you need a lot of rest for your brain. Sleeping can help your body by restarting and growing. While sleeping your body can help your brain with thinking and growing as well. Your brain helps you with everything and also with a lot if everyday tasks . Your brain can also have control on running on the course and knowing which way to go during the run.

Gas Prices - Satire Writing

Hey Bloggers! Today we had to complete our Satire Writing. The definition of Satire is : the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.


Here is mine. I am talking about Gas Prices! 


Gas Prices

I think gas prices should go up by 20 dollars a litre. Yes! It is so cheap now days for everyone and I think you should be charged 20 dollars for one litre if you have a small car and 200 dollars a litre for big cars or even trucks! It’s so ridiculous how it’s so cheap. 5 dollars for 5 litres are you serious? That is so cheap! It should be more expensive. The government pay way too much money to families living in this area. If you are working at places such as PakNSave or the local dairy or even at an 2 dollar shop the government pays you loads of money so why spend it so little on huge litres of gas. Gas prices need to be more expensive and expensive so people can afford it. 300 dollars for 3 litres is really good! If your travelling on a road trip we pay you more since you have a lot of money to even afford to travel on a road trip. Also people who are illegally filling under the age of 18 should be charged $10. At least $10 since the government allows shops to sell children sweets, drinks and bakery foods every day after school. Also customers owning a car that is really cheap should be charged $100 for buying a cheap car. They get the cheapest gas prices since their cars are so small. They can afford way more than that. Personally I think that people who use diesel such as more expensive gas should be charged less mainly because wealthy people don’t get paid too much since the government had decided that. Well that’s my ideas on gas prices. Ugh! So ridiculous.
