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.

DLO:

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.

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.

Slave songs

Explain the feeling that you get when you listen to these songs?
I feel sad because I heard what they felt like as slaves. I can't imagine myself being in there place.I feel so guilty, listening to these songs, them working everyday 24 hours without resting, and here we are in school learning and making friends, but some of us don't even appreciate things we have in life. Think about others, not just yourself.

What kind of information about slavery did you learn from these songs?
That they get taken away from their families. They want freedom.
They were picking cotton all day everyday, and white people take them. They really want their old lives back. They want to lye down and taking breaks.


What can you relate to in any of these songs?
-Moses in the bible
-Me in the kitchen
...


What do you think the slaves are talking about in these songs?
The slaves are expressing their feelings to each other by singing(making up) songs.
Each song has meanings to them. Signals to escape.

When slaves were working on the field, they wanted to express their feelings. So they would sing songs, but make it up while singing. They weren't singing songs that were already written, they didn't write anything down, they just sang while working. 
Some of the songs they sang have meanings to it. 
E.g, 'Swing low Sweet chariot'

This is my favourite because, if you hear any slave singing this song on the field or at night, the Americans thought Oh it's a lovely Christian song, but actually they sing it when the case is clear, it's time to escape.(Smart)
This song would reference the way to the Underground Rail Road

Another good song is called 

'The River Jordan'
Meaning: Become the Ohio River, or the Mississippi, or another body of water that had to be crossed on the journey to freedom.

My Introduction
Me and my class 10DTE, were doing infographic on Ergonomics. This is to help the people that ends up with sore pain on their necks, shoulders and back after going on their computer.. It tells you how to sit properly and where to place your monitor, arms, shoulders and head. It's really important to follow these steps otherwise you'll damage your musculature, and your body can cause big problems to your health, that ain't healthy. 

Sources

I've made mine like this which is down below on the 14/2/18, and where I've got my information was from Wyvern Business Systems - UK.COM. Designed by myThem.es.

 I read the information and made it into my own words I've also searched it on google so I could add more information into it

. 

My Reflection

I like doing a infographic because I like the layout of it. I can easily read and understand it. Doing the inforgraphic on ergonomics helped me to learn more about ergonomics, I've learnt that if you drop your neck down but keeping your head straight forward  is causing pain on your neck,shoulder, and back. I've also learnt that you need to put your feet flat on the ground and your legs should be on the same level as your waist and how to make a infographic. I think it's a good idea to post this on my blog so the students could read this because, there are many students in this school that has been through the pains and It's time for them to learn how to get rid of it and how to sit properly and have a better sitting posture.

So After reading this and doing the actions, you'd wanna thank me for blogging this.

So, now thart you've read this, 

What have you learnt about this blog?

Will you follow these steps?

Are you going to make a better sitting posture?

or

Are you going to continue the bad habit to cause the pains on your body?

My map of the slave trade triangle

What is the Slave Trade Triangle? 

Slave Trade Triangle is also known as the Triangular Trading System, that operated from the late 16th to early 19th centuries, carrying slaves, cash crops, and manufactured goods between West Africa, Caribbean or American colonies and the European colonial powers, with the northern colonies of British North America, especially New England, sometimes taking over the role of Europe.

What is the First Passage?

The First Passage was from Europe to Africa. The cargo on this passage was guns and weapons.

What is the Middle Passage?

The Middle Passage is where Africans were taken to the Caribbean and sold. They were bartered for a ship-load of tobacco and cotton.

The rest of the slaves were shipped to the USA and processed for auction. It was here where the Cotton, Tobacco, Sugar Cane and other products slaves produced were put in ships.

What is the Third Passage? 

The Third Passage is when all the cotton, tobacco and other products are put back on ships and sent to Europe. Once the ships get to Europe, they are sold. Then more guns and weapons are purchased.
