The “The Texas Indipendence simulation” was very good too. I liked it because it was very informational, and I learned lots of new stuff about the history of Texas Indipendence. I didn’t really go that far in this simulation, up until the part that I went to, it was very informative. I also watched the movie clip about Texas Indipendence. It talked a lot about who started the Texas Independence, and the history of it.
I really liked the simulation a lot because you had to follow the different steps to reach your goal. The part where you were supposed to side a horse was fun, but for some reason the game got stuck, so I had to redo the simulation. I didn’t go any further after the part where you ask a person if he had seen your dad.
I liked the movie too, because I liked how they explained the different things, with the map, and the pictures. It was easier to understand because the movie was well made, and all the pictures of the different people, and the different locations shown in the movie helped me understand it.

First I explored the “UMP Forest” website. I learned so many things here that I didn’t know, especially about birds and other mammals. I never knew birds at rocks! It was very hard for me to believe that, but it says that it helps their digestion within their body. There are also many ways that I did not expect that an animal can camouflage itself. It is absolutely amazing! Thanks for putting this cite up!

The Second site I explored was “Stop Disasters!”. I explored everything from the tsunamis to the forest fires. The tsunami one was pretty sad though. It kind of brought you down because you built and established this whole town, just to have it be destroyed. Everyone died too!! But, all in all, it was very fun.

Thank you for putting more simulations up! I’m VERY excited for Seacamp! Thanks!

The first game I played was the Disaster game. I liked how you were in control and made what necessary decisions you needed to do to protect your village. I decided to pick a hurricane as my disaster and I played on easy. My goals were to build a hostipal, a school, and to save the sea port. I completed most of my tasks, but the sea ports were destroyed. Twelve people died and over 170 people were injured. I was focusing on the houses and the people too much. I did not pay any attention to the sea ports. I learned very much from this game though. This was my favorite one to play.

The second game I played was the Texas Independence Simulation. One of the best things I like about this was the graphics. I liked how the 3D effects made you feel like an actual citizen during the Texas Revolution. I was not able to get very far in this game, though. I rode my horse for a little, then it was time for dinner. This game did not appeal to me at all. After the game, I checked the website for some facts. I liked how every section was a movie, talking about how Texas became independent from Mexico.

All of the games had good qualities, but I probably won’t ever play them again. Oh well!

The second website I viseted was the UMP Forest website. I never knew birds ate rocks. It turns out it helps them digest. The Willow Warbler builds an nest like an oven on the ground. The Chaffinch camoflauges its nest. Foxes build dens underground with many entrances. When people harvest the forest its really cool. A tracktor thing comes up with a chainsaw arm and cuts the tree down. Then it cuts the tree in to four pieces and moves on. I started this website at like 10:10 and right now it is like 10:45. Time went by really fast. I guess this was a really cool website.

The first game I played was the NASA Be a Martian. It was really informative. I really liked the game where you had to pack the stuff on the space shuttle. My best score was a ninety-two percent but I got that on like my fifth attempt. I figured out that playing Texas hold’em is hard when the chips won’t stay in one place so they wouldn’t pack that. I also think that bringing a cell phone to mars would be a silly idea. I am going to ask T-Mobile thought if they could put that on my cellular plan just for the sake of having it. Free minutes on nights, weekends, and Mars. I also thought the videos were cool. I thought it was unfortunate that the Spirit rover got stuck. I thought i was cool though, that Spirit would still be sending out messages to headquarters. The people at headquarters received some valuable science information tough so I guess that was a silver lining. The last thing I did on the site was an absolute joke. I thought that the Dr .C guy would actually answer some of the questions I had about Mars. It turned out that I knew more about mars than Dr. C. I think the C in Dr. C stands for clueless. All Dr. Clueless did was act shocked when I asked him a question and kept shaking his head left and right as if he was reading my message for ever more. My question was only four words long! “ Why is Mars red?” If you are an expert on Mar and you can’t answer that question you should quit your job. The I asked him “ Who are you.” I started getting mad when he couldn’t answer that question. I mean if you can’t answer that then you need to go to the hospital immediately to find out who you are. I mean you don’t even stop to put your shoes on, you just go. So because of Dr. Clueless I am suing the makers of the Martian website for the 10 minutes of my life back that I spent on him. I will then add the 10 minutes o my Minutes on Mars phone plan.

The other game I liked was the natural disaster one. It was fun although it kind of made me sad at the end. I did the tsunami level and put it on expert and boy that was a mistake. I had never killed anybody before with regards to negligence. I thought I was doing well developing schools and almost getting to a hospital, but then the tsunami came. Sad part about it was that nobody lived. I mean zero people survived. I thought that like people would survive but no one. I will try this game again though and become a beast at it.

Thank you Mrs. Cobb forgiving us another fun great blog.

The other site I visited was the Martian site. I thought it was really interesting. I thought all of the videos were amazing and I learned a lot. Also it was interesting how you could map Mars. I was a little confused how to use the site at first but then once I realized it was very simple to navigate.

My other visit was paid to Texas and its rally for independence from Mexico. I enjoyed the great graphics and the characters. I learned a lot about the attempt to separate from Mexico. As a side note I also discovered I am hopeless at Banjo Hero (the 8th of January was all too much.) I thought it was slightly humorous that the independence of Texas originated in Washington (eventually to become its capital.) I would have been upset too if my leader had disbanded the country’s constitution and became a dictator. I was interested to hear that many came to Texas for land bought from Mexico. I also liked that some children wanted the Mexicans to win because if Texas became independent it would set up schools. My father “pa” is still lost in cyber space due to my incompetence at Banjo Hero, but I did learn loads from the video and simulation to that point. Thanks for the sites.

My second favorite games was Texas Independence Simulation or In Washington Town. I thought it was very cool how you got to move yourself, and move the ride the horse by yourself. I also like how you talked to people. I learned that the fall of the Alamo wasn’t the only part of the Texan Revolution, it was many different things. I really enjoyed this game especially, because you go to move the person, talk to people, and go whatever way you wanted all by yourself.

I really enjoyed these And I hope we do more in the future.
