My team's game topic is based on Pet Safety (social issue) and Exponents (math concept). The most important concept I want the players to learn would be my math concept which is exponents. I think this is the most important because many kids my age have trouble solving exponent problems and the idea of the game is particially to give them practice solving exponent equations. Animal Safety is important too though because it is important that people of all ages know how to treat animals right and safely. My ideas from Imagining Your Game came together by me deciding which ideas and links I like which will help me create the game. My team decided that the two topics would be on pet safety and exponents as the social issue and math concept because I like animals and think people should treat them fairly and I feel that my other classmates have trouble with exponents. My team role is to do everything because I am the only one in my team just like everyone else in my Globaloria7 class at Eastern Greenbrier Middle School. I researched links that gave tips and tricks of how to solve exponent equations and I also searched for links on animal safety and common household hazards for pets. The player of my game will take the action of making sure the pet of their choice is away from household hazards and if the player lets their pet get into a hazard, the pet must take a visit to the vet. By taking the pet to the vet, this should teach the player responsiblity of what to do when his or her pet is sick, hurt, etc. There will also be exponent problems to solve throughout the game. This action of the player has not changed since I began planning my game because I have always wanted the player to understand responsibility, pet safety and care, and exponents. I think the "convert to symbol" has been the most helpful in flash because it kind of lets you save your art and name it so you do not have to draw it again and again if you accidentally erase something or cut it. I located this resource by my teacher, Mrs. Sheppard, the first time my class used flash. I think coming up with lots of different household hazards for pets was the most difficult for me. I overcame this difficulty by searching more links on common household hazards known to pets.
