1. What was your social issue? How did you discover it (was it obvious or did you have to search)?
The social issue is mainly disaster prepareness. It was kind of common sence to figure out the social issue because that is exactly what is going on in our world. For example New Orleans was not ready for Hurricane Katrina. That is what the game teaches you, it prepares you for natural disasters. It was obvious and didn't require too much research besides finding out about the ISDR which was the international strategy for disaster reduction. It uses its resources to not only attempt to prevent the destruction of the disaster but they reduce the damage done after.
2. Find three resources that explain the issue or give information on the issue (use del.icio.us to tag the sites). If you do not have a del.icio.us account or are having trouble using it, copy and paste the address into your Google Doc.
1.http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/hurricanes/readiness.asp
2.http://www.wikihow.com/Prepare-for-an-Earthquake
3.http://www.ehow.com/how_2046894_prepare-flood.html
3. Explain to your peers why they should care about your social issue. . .do your best to describe the issue and give specific reasons you and your peers should care.
They should care about our social issue becuase it is one of the most catastrophic disasters that sweeps our nation. Each year throught the year tons of people are killed from natural disasters. If you are not ready for one and dont know how to survive one then you'll be the next person to possibly die.
4. Is there anything you can do now to help? If not, could you suggest something. . .
in a way there is, to help out a little i could start throwing away trash and recycling. that would at the least help slow down natural desasters. other than that its all nature.

Game Review
1. Was it hard or easy to learn? Did you have to read the instructions? If no, did you have success in the game? If yes, did the instructions help you succeed? What were you supposed to accomplish in the game?
The game our group chose is Stop Disasters. At first it was a little easy to learn, but there were still complications. I realy didnt know what to do. I didn't have success at the game although my teammates might have. It was challenging at first untill i read the instructions. The instructions gave a clear explanation on what to do and how to succeed in the game. The object of the game is to save a town from a natural disaster of you're choice. In order to save the town you need to build and destroy things to protect you from a specific disaster.
2. How are the graphics of your game? What do you like about them and/or what should be improved?
The graphics of the game are fair, they aren't good although they are not completely bad.The graphics dont look to realistic, they are a little chopped up.
3. What was the game supposed to teach you?
the game is susposed to teach you how to protect a town from the danger of a natural disaster as explained eairlier.
4. Would you recommend the game to your peers? Why or why not. . .you should be able to explain clearly and your peers should be able to determine whether or not they would like the game.
yes i would recomend this game to my peers because it is very entertaining andit takes strategy. The game is also realy fun. If i wasn't in school this wouldn't be a game i would choose to play, although i would play ga,es related to this topic but with more action.
