Danger of a Single Story

Chimanada Adiche had grew up with a book that only had white people with blue eyes and they talked about weather. A single story means to be races or bias which means people are trying to be mean or make conclusions about other people when they aren't really that. One story that i had before was that only certain people can do things and only rich people can get nice things but the ting missing from it was that all people can get anything. A story that i heard about another community is that east Austin is bad and we can succeed but we can because we are all smart. A game can explain how a community is like and what you do there and see there it also explains what type of environment is it like there.

1 Cyberbully

Cyberbully

This is my first blog of 8th grade.In the begining of the video she doesnt lke to use it because it was dumb to her. Her family situation is that her father is away and she told him se dont want him and she really likes this guy but then he dont like her back. The result of cyberbullying for Taylor is that she gets a laptop and then she makes a clicksters then she starts talking to Scott the boy she likes . Then this guy James but it was a fake and the person that had been cyberbullying her and it was her own bestfriend. Then the guy James says that Taylor and him had did something bad then she told him no then a girl from school named Linsey she started to call her names. Then Taylor started to say bad things. She experiences impersonating bullying and threating and gossip but she mainly was being impersonated. She starts to feel like she doesnt belong in the world. So she trys to kill her self but her friends sees the video on clicksters and she hurrys to the home and stops her her. She trys to stop them but they didnt she could have done what her mother told her to do and shut down her profile and never get on again. I think she felt sad and bad that her friends were betraying her. The changes i see her doing is trying to shut down the clicksters website and taking classes for the clicksters bullying and she finally faces up to linsey then the whole school does and linsey is hushed and Taylor gets to be with scot.

Winding Down
My team name is JamPack.
The name of my gamde is called the Weather Checkers.
Our game is about the danger of weather and what to do if there is weather storm that is happening.
We have completed all of our scenes which are title scene, level one, level two, the about page and the instructions page.
Only the part where we have to explain the information about our game.
Right now i only need about like one more scene to complete so that we can all be done with the game.
I could work on the game everyday and try my hardest if i was to grade myself on the game i would give myself a ten because i did a lot of work.
Well i have learned lots of thing from each of the classes so i really cant explain what i have learned but about the game i have learned that you need your team inorder to finish the game.
ii am proud of getting nominated for the best proga mmer which is is basically the person that puts in the code.
I can improve next year by learning new codes and how to do them and help the teacher also if she needs some help.

The website iCivics.org teaches you about political things like how you can defend a person who isnt guilty of doiung something. It also teaches you about the different things in civics environment. It lets you play games which are about civics and they tell you to do different things. I liked the game arguemant wars because you can defend the non guilty person. I also like the information that it gives you about the civic things that are going on in the world now.

This new thing is so cool. now of days people are coming out with new technology. The price for this incredible new technology is only $249.99. Isnt that cheap to kids but adults its like that much just for that wait for when it gets cheaper. The aslo cool thing about this is you dont even need glasses for the game to be 3d isnt that so cool. Only if they made movies like that you dont glasses to watch 3d. The other cool thing is also all of the Nintendo 3ds games are also going to play in 2d mode as well so if you get tired of 3d which i think you wont then you can switch it to 2d and they say it looks better than all of the other handheld gameing devices.
