Storified by abstracted660 · Tue, May 06 2014 15:42:23

I was toiling away at my friendly computer when I felt like eating some rooster and vegetables, so I decided to amble down to my favorite poultry and red onion bistro, which also serves all kinds of other food, expecting to have a wonderful time eating my favourite meals, and truly enjoying my blessed luck.

Of course, I didn't know that when I got there they didn't have any turkey, or they didn't have any onions, which means that I had better come up with a better plan, because my unfilled tummy wasn't going to let me off the hook so easily, which meant I needed to come up with a program B.

However, there was this definitely adorable gal in line behind me, who through some six sense of awesome notion and instinct, seemed to notice my obvious dismay.

She told me she would take care of me, and that all of my needs would be contentedly pleased, regardless of whether or not they observed any pig inside my mental.

She put me in some kind of hypnosis, when I started eating the most scrumptious peanut butter and onion sandwich I had ever eaten, despite there not have been any kind of peanut butter within a thousand miles.

Strategies To Larger Minds: positive affirmations

Of course, I was only eating imaginary peanut butter, but it was the best imaginary peanut butter I ever pretended to take in.

A Biodiversity Story! A Grade 6 Science Unit

0
0

This is a biology unit introducing you to the incredible variety of living things that exist on our wonderful planet, Earth. In order for man to understand all forms of life we have categorized them into groups. In this way we can study their similarities and differences. This is called Taxonomy!

Storified by amandagaeeni · Tue, May 06 2014 15:43:01

Below you will find a series of videos and links. Above each Youtube video is a link that says "Google Drive". As Youtube is blocked in school, you will need to use the Google Drive link to access the video while you are in school.

Follow these written instructions carefully. Write notes only when you are instructed to do so. You may write notes on paper and add them to your binder, or prepare a science folder on your computer for this unit. Number and name each page filed away. Ensure that all notes are filed away with a heading, and in order of completion with a page number

Section A-An Introduction!: Start with these introductory videos on biodiversity. Try and understand what biodiversity means as you watch them. Only watch the first video in the first link below.
Why Biodiversity Matters · davidsuzukifdn

So what does biodiversity mean to you? What did you learn from these videos? Go and add one piece of information to the class biodiversity wall map. Write something that no-one else has written, so check first. Write your initials alongside your comment.
Biology is the study of living things. So why does man feel the need to classify things? The plants and animals surely don't care. Watch the link below.
Classification of Living Things · humanrelationsmedia
We share this planet with incredible plants, animals and microscopic critters. In order for man to understand the different forms of life that exist, we came up with a system to classify all living things into 6 main groups called "Kingdoms". This study of formal classification, called this as it is shared and agreed by all scientists, is called "taxonomy". If you classify your books or clothing in a certain way, this is called informal classification as it does not matter if people agree with you or not. Read "Classifying Organisms" in the link below. Only read the page it opens to.
It has only been recent that we introduced another kingdom. We did this by splitting the Kingdom called "Monera". Many scientists still use the 5 kingdom system. Browse through the 5 main kingdoms in the link below. Only read the page it opens to.
Watch the following link on the 5 main (and still popular) kingdoms.
Five Kingdoms · billnyerulz
Now look at the characteristics that scientists feel deserved to be separated. Try and understand what the members of the kingdoms have that are different from the other kingdoms. What do they have in common within the same kingdom? You will not understand everything. Just look for patterns.
Now these 5 kingdoms get split down even further into different levels called taxons. Watch the link below for an easy way to understand this. There is some interaction for you to enjoy.

Prejudice

0
0

Prejudice is an obstacle affecting our community. I am going to argue that prejudice is a learned not an innate behavior. The main reason behind it is that we are exposed to prejudice in childhood and we learn this attitude through family, peers, and the surrounding.

Storified by Mohammed Semilan · Tue, May 06 2014 15:43:13

One of these prejudice behavior during childhood is when we used to mock against obese kids. A child can not clearly distinguish between wrong and right attitude. Children may think they are stupid if they accompany obese friends, and obese people seem ugly and unattractive for the society. A report shows children being prejudice against obese kids

Children and Obesity Prejudice · ericedvid2
Children are not born with prejudiced attitudes or with stereotypes. They learn these values and beliefs from their family, peers, teachers, the media, and others around them. In other words, children learn prejudice through socialization. Prejudice is a learned attitude from family, peers, teachers, and the media.
Children need to learn how to love not how to hate. Children at their ages should be worrying about happiness and playing, not about hating each other and prejudging people.
NO ONE IS BORN WITH PREJUDICE OR HATRED WE HAVE TO STOP TEACHING THAT TO OUR CHILDREN · natasha78d
This is how children suppose to live, away from prejudice.-
Talking with Your Child about Prejudice · fernavery
Family can play a big role in influencing their children. Most children behavior are influenced by their backgrounds. In school, children might mock someone because of his ethnicity and that for sure coming from the children background.

Gone Home

0
0

After experiencing Gone Home firsthand, the class discussed whether Gone Home was considered a game to them. This topic of discussion has surrounded it since its initial release. We look further into what is considered a game, what a game consists of, and if we see Gone Home as a game.

Storified by andrew_3000 · Wed, May 07 2014 15:53:42

Gone Home fueled a heated discussion when it was first released as to whether it was considered to be a "game". Many large gaming review sites gave Gone Home praise and the scores reflected that.
Reception · gamer423
Even though Gone Home became critically acclaimed, on a few of those sites, users had issues with the rating, stating that Gone Home was and should not be considered not a game.
PC Gamer 1 · gamer423
IGN 1 · gamer423
Gamespot 2 · gamer423
Gamespot 1 · gamer423
When our class discussed Gone Home in lecture, it became clear that the very definition of a game is subjective from person to person:
Already, there is an obvious blurred line between being a "game" and being a "work of interactive fiction". The major aspect that separates the two is that a game has a "win" condition or an ultimate goal. However, more sandbox type games such as Minecraft, which has no set winning condition, have caused people to reconsider what a game truly is.

Looking at Gone Home, the opening setting creates the tone that makes it feel as if there is an end goal, as seen by the initial note at the front door of the house when Katie arrives by the early hours of June 5th, 1995.
This seems pretty creepy #gonehome #eng177 #creepy http://t.co/tclp5PhZ9K · Sam Hicok
Within the first few minutes, the player is instantly given an intriguing mystery:  What is your sister Sam hiding that has caused her to not be there to greet us? Why is 'Mom and Dad' crossed out and replaced with 'anyone'? The stormy weather and ambient thunder immediately brings a horror type tone and we must uncover the truth. Seems like Gone Home is a game in this aspect; a 'winning' condition or end goal.

So it's a game right? It's not as clear as that. As the player progressed through the game, there isn't a fight, an antagonist, nor does the player really win. You uncover family secrets and history, then it just ends with the final journal from Sam with her running off with Lonnie. You can change the order in which you examine objects, but you can't change the narrative that underlies them.

So it's not a game then? Again, the blurred line that separate games and interactive fiction comes into play. What we can say for sure is that games offer some type of narrative. As discussed in First Person, the majority of games have one type of the following narratives: Embedded narratives, Enacted narratives, and Emergent narratives. 

Embedded narratives are "prestructured but embedded within the mise-en-scene awaiting discovery" (Jenkins, p. 126). Gone Home incorporates this, as noted in lecture tweets
As well as we played the game ourselves such as learning more and more about Lonnie.
