10 Worst Countries Using Child Soldiers

My class 10Mn we had to do a second map and name it 10 worst countries using child soldiers, in Social Studies.Child Soldiers - Child soldiers are any children under the age of 18 who are recruited by a state or non-state armed group and used as fighters, cooks, suicide bombers, human shields, messengers, spies, or for sexual purposes.
The map above is the most countries where child soldiers are taking place.This is the link so you can view my map showing the countries.

Introduction:

Me and my class 10DTE had to play a game online called 'Interland'. We were to play all of the levels of this game and make 2 sets of analysis. One set will be for the content while the other will be for the game design. For the content, we needed to think about what we've learnt from playing this game, answering questions like What needs to be added? or What is missing from the game? and for the game design, we needed to talk about what we enjoy about the game.

Interland

Reflection:

I like doing this analysis because it's actually helping me to reflect on what I was learning while playing the game Interland. When I played the level called Reality River it made me realize that I needed help when going on to the sites and being careful on the internet, because the aim of this level is to cross the river by choosing the best choices e.g, if you go on a site and there were pop-ups like "hey you've won a prize, congratulations please enter your address and password" what would you do, Enter your address and password, or ignore and leave this site. Obviously, I did ignore and leave the site but on the other questions I got it wrong, I've learnt that I need to be safer when it comes to the internet. 

Tower Treasure:

The level is showing us that we should be careful or be wise what we’re putting down on the internet like passwords or personal things like credit cards. I like the colours that they did on the level. It really shows that it’s a Tower Treasure. I think that it’s really easy to finish, there is really no challenges on this level so it is really easy to finish.

Kind Kingdom:

This level is showing to use the internet to spread all the positivity and block all the mean-spirited and inappropriate behaviours, don't be afraid to speak against bullying and report it every time.  I like the surrounding and the obstacles I also like the colouring it’s like a jungle.this level is easy to finish if you played one like this before because you have to master the keys you pressing or else this level is gonna be hard for you

Reality River:

This level is showing us that we need to be honest or be careful about what you're putting down on the internet because it might be a personal information. You also need to be wise on what you are opening on the internet because sometimes it is a hack or inappropriate links. The purpose of the game is to cross the water by having good and honest answers to different questions. I like the surrounding colour and the texture of the land.the land is a hexagon that reminds me of beehive but colour red and white. If I have a chance to change something I would probably change the questions because it’s a bit hard and tricky.

Source:

I've made my analysis into a table, 3 across and 3 down. First one is the name of the level, the second one is about the content(what the level is showing us, and the meaning of it) and the third one is about the designing of the game. I've made mine on March 1, 2018.

Questions:

Now that you've finished reading my blog, 
Will you play the game?
Will you learn the same things I have?
or Do you think the game is useless? or useful?

My Paragraph(The slave trade triangle)

Paragraph: One

The Atlantic slave trade triangle was a disgusting way to enslave Africans and separate them away from their family. It took away their human rights to live a normal life because everything they had is taken away, their food, homes, and families. When the slave traders arrived to Africa from Europe, they had guns and weapons. They gave it to the African kings so they could buy their African men, women and children. This was called ‘The First Passage’. The African kings viewed the people they sold, not as fellow Africans, but criminals, debtors, or prisoners of war from rival tribes. When the slave traders had the African Slaves, they took them on a ship, this was where the disgusting part happens, which was called ‘The Middle Passage’.

Paragraph: 2

During the middle passage,, death, raping, murdering, suicide took place. All of those things were inhumane.Things like this were happening because, either the slaves weren’t listening or taking orders so the Europeans would whip them to death. The white men made the African women lay on their back so they could rape them, and the slaves drowned themselves to death because they never pictured their future to be like this and especially for their child. It was the worst thing no human could ever imagine. The slaves were all bunched up because the trader wanted to fit as many slaves as possible., they didn’t get enough food or water. All the Europeans on the ship were taking charge of every single slave. They’d tied their hands together and make them dance in front of everyone to humiliate them. Until finally the ship reached America. This is where their lives as a slave began.

Paragraph 3

When the ship landed on America, the slaves were immediately sold by the Americans. They were sold because the masters needed slave children to play with their children and the older ones were sold to make money or cleaning. The slave children were sold to play with the master's own children, leaving their own family. After getting sold as a slave, they are separated from your loved ones. The older slaves were sold to work on the field to pick up cotton and tobacco while other female slaves had to clean the master's house. If they did not pick enough or disobeyed their masters orders then they would be punished. When the Europeans had enough cotton and tobacco they’d travelled back to Europe to exchange the cotton and tobacco for weapons and money this was called the third passage.
