Reflect On Game Idea

  • WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.)
- I am designing my game for students that are in middle school 6th-8th grade

  • WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)
- It will teach the player about the affects on climate change and give them facts about the differences in the climate

  • WHERE does your game happen?
- It will kind of be in a cartoon game on how the animation looks and the setting will be in the climate with the weather and it will show them how it looks when its different.

  • HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
  • - Because it would actually show about weather climate and it would be about the topic
    • What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
    • - It would show them pictures and give them facts about the weather climate

    • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?
    • -After every 5 facts there would be questions and you would have to answer them from the facts that were given in the game.
  • WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?
  • - Because you actually get to see how climate change would work with better information and its more understanding and it would be better learning in a game than on a quiz.

Penguins

-Some of the challenges that the Penguins have to overcome is staying a live through the cold weather and not die of starvation.
-The way the weather is and how far away it is to get food and all the predators there around there.
-To survive brutal winters Penguins will need a lot of fur, on there body to keep them warm and they need wings to help them swim away from predators.
-There is no sunlight because thats when its winter and everything is getting cold, it effects the climate by getting cold.
-Well the ice has to be frozen solid because if not it can have cracks and break apart and it can be to cold for the eggs and die also the babies can drown since they dont know how to swim at a young age.
-It can either be to cold or to hot for the penguins to survive.
