Today we spent most of the class time talking about games. We brain stormed different games that we enjoyed and talked about some of them in detail. We spent some time discussing Monopoly, the game and what the theme and idea behind the game is. We came up with the idea that the game Monopoly is a game based on wealth and assets that are owned by a person for a specific purpose. We also talked about the value of something and what that means. For something to be valuable it has to be wanted by multiple people and it has to be agreed upon. Wealth comes from creating value and ownership for something. Wealth is also an idea, a manmade concept. A few other games that were mentioned were things like Taboo, battleship, Sorry and many others. We then discussed what makes a good game. Is it having a theme? Is it when it's based on a movie? Are they the games that have some sort of strategy or just pure chance? There are different reasons why people are attracted to games and enjoy playing them over and over. It is now up to us to come up with an idea, a concept for a game and make is something that will be attractive to our classmates. Before doing that we are going to be playing games on Wednesday to see what we like about each one and this will help us with our next homework assignment.
The last part of class was spent discussing out images of the 7 deadly sins. It seems as though most people understood the concept but only some were able to fully present the idea of a specific sin using one photograph. Many if us had multiple images that we had found on google so those pictures didn't count. I thought that the images I chose depicted all the sins but others didn't agree.Jimmy said that next time he will have his class stage and photograph the sins to show more originality and I think that is a great idea. It will definitely take more time and effort but at least that way everyones work will be original and interesting.
Should we really redo something that we already did and like you said understood, for the sake of originality?
ReplyDeleteI understood it as his next quarter class will do that =l...darn did I get it wrong? I don't have a camera surprisingly enough. Urgh. I think since you mentioned that many understood the concept we shouldn't anyway. Either way it's all good, its a subject I find interesting.
ReplyDeleteya, he said next quarter, that's what I actually meant. I don't think we should redo the project because I think it was much more successful then the one before, for his future classes it will be nice.
