Star Cards reflection.

 


Hello Welcome to my blog, this term in Game Changers, we had to look at diffrent games from battle cards, to Magic the gatheing to get insperation to create our own games. I realise now that creating a game is very ambitious especcially for two weeks but this is what I was able to accomplish.


HEY YOU! YES YOU! Do you want to play a game that is both a card game and an amazing battle game? Well you're in luck! We've created an amazing game from both Star Wars and battling to save the galaxy. Will evil prevail.. Or will goodness keep the galaxy in balance. Our game’s name is “STAR CARDS.” The game starts off with 4 cards for every person. You place one card down for each person and you battle each other's cards and the cards that deal the most damage win the round.

Our game is a battle cards game, to be quite honest when we first started out i didnt think that i would even be able to finish. The first week was the most teadous, purley because we started bouncing from idea to idea. We had finnaly settled on one thing Christmas, and Star Wars. After a lot of deliberatilon we finally agreed on doing star wars. We got our inspiration from "Magic the Gathering" so we took what we learned and put a spin on it. Our game has seven rules as follows:

  1. 2-4 players

  2. 2 teams, or 4 individual players

  3. Shuffle the deck

  4. Pass 4 cards to each player

  5. Place each card face up 

  6. Whoever saw Star Wars last or the person to the left of the dealer slides a card forward or draws from the deck and everyone does that until everyone has pushed a card to the center and then they battle until one card is left standing or until they've done damage.

  7. Once done, everyone retakes there cards, you can draw a card, or place a new one from your hand on the table.


    I wish we had more time to show more of what our game couldve been. I think that, if we had more time say 2-3 months i think our game wouldve had way more progress. I am overall happy with what we got. The outcome was pretty good for a game designed in less than 2 weeks. We rushed yes, but we still got things done. There was alot of laughter, there was a lot of anger, but we still managed to get things done. Thats all that matters.

The photo below shows the progress of our game, from the very first issue on strips of paper, to the index cards to our actual cards. This was really stressful, but we managed to get it done in so little time.

Heroe's Journey: From Kamala Harris to T'Challa

In the final unit of my Humanities class, "Stories," we delved into the Hero's Journey, exploring how both real and fictional heroes undergo transformative journeys that shape them and leave lasting impacts. Our focus was on understanding how different art forms narrate these journeys and the unique ways in which we each walk our own Hero’s Journey. We watched  The Goonies , visited the American Writers Museum, and explored the colorful "Ofrendas" at the National Museum of Mexican Art, each of these experiences giving us fresh perspectives on storytelling. The exhibit "Our Stories, Our Voices" at the Field Museum stood out to me personally, providing a powerful look at personal histories and identities. For my Action Project, I chose to map out the journeys of two heroes who have profoundly inspired me: Vice President Kamala Harris and T’Challa, the Black Panther. Below, you’ll see a collage showcasing the paths of these two icons who represent courage

Walters impulsions

In this drama unit, we focused on defining the concept of a "matriarch" and explored its role in perpetuating inequality. We read  A Raisin in the Sun  by Lorraine Hansberry, which tells the story of a Black family struggling to improve their lives in 1950s Chicago after receiving a $10,000 insurance check. Alongside our reading, we visited the Goodman Theater, where Kelsey introduced us to various archetypes of Black women in theater. While reading the play, I found myself resonating with Ruth, especially as her husband Walter faced significant challenges. Walter’s grave mistake stemmed from the immense pressure he felt to provide for his family, as he assumed the role of the head of the household. Living with strong, independent women who often belittled him contributed to his struggles. My engagement with Walter's character allowed me to glean valuable insights about his humanity and motivations. The turning point for Walter came when he grappled with the weight of his

Redefining Queenship: Gender, Power, and Ambition in Shakespeare's Macbeth

Welcome to my blog,  In our first Drama unit, we tackled the question,  "How do we respond to gender norms and stereotypes?"  To explore this, we dove into the works of William Shakespeare, examining how theater can inspire social change. We focused on  Macbeth , using the play as a lens to question traditional gender roles and the evolving concept of what it means to be a queen. This was the perfect foundation for the unit, letting us dig deeper into our own ideas of strength and duty. To me, a queen is someone who puts her role before herself, making difficult choices—even ones that might be considered morally complex. While we didn’t have many field trips, we had inspiring guest speakers. Regina Taylor, known for her role as Michelle Obama's mother in  The First Lady  and her work in  Lovecraft Country , shared her insights on how storytelling can bridge divides of race, gender, and class. She likened the influence of media to the civil rights movement, reminding us th
