                 My game is about a pop tart that was one whole pop tart, and then it split and became two. There was Dr.Pop and Dr.Tart. Dr.Pop is good and Dr.Tart is bad. So that means they don’t like each other and they are trying to defeat each other.  To complete or win my game the player will need to follow all of the directions. They need to do exactly what the directions say. You need to collect all the points in a minute and you have three lives to do it. My gamers will be learning that just because you are different from someone doesn’t mean you need to fight or go against each other.

                My level one’s name is called Sprinkle Score. You need to try to get all the points before your time is up. By the end of this level my player will have learned to see that you can accomplish anything you put your mind too. Also there are two new vocab words that my player will learn by the end of this level. Inequality and Feat.             Inequality means the condition of being unequal; lack of equality; disparity. Feat means a noteworthy or extraordinary act or achievement, usually displaying boldness, skill.

                My second levels name is called Strawberry Challenge. You need to try to defeat all the enemies before time runs out. By the end of this level the player will have learned that you need to take chances. If you take chances you might be able to accomplish something, like defeating the enemies before your time is up. My players will have learned two new vocab words by the end of this level. Unworthy and Worthless. Unworthy means not worthy; lacking worth or excellence. Worthless means without worth; of no use, importance, or value; good-for-nothing.

                My last levels name is called Survival of the White Enemies. In this game the purpose is to try to survive this challenge before your time is up. By the end of this game my player will have learned that you need to take risks to get by and survive. The player will have learned two vocab words. Unfriendly and Uncaring. Unfriendly means not amicable; not friendly or kindly in disposition. Uncaring means a state of mind in which one is troubled; worry, anxiety.

                So my game is based on a pop tart splitting in two and trying to defeat each other. By going through these levels you will learn what to do and learn new vocab words as you go. Also you learn a life lesson that being different doesn’t matter.

Hi my name is Super Spaghetti! I am a hero, and I love to save people and save the city. I became Super Spaghetti because everyday I ate spaghetti. I would eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and even for a snack. Then one day I woke up and I looked in the mirror and I saw myself covered in a spaghetti dress with meatballs on it. First I thought  it was my imagination then my mom said what are you wearing? Then right then I new it wasn’t a dream. So I walked outside and I saw someone that was really thirsty. So I put my hands out and put them together to try to help, then wouldn’t you know it I shot spaghetti sauce out of my palms into their mouth. Then I said I’m so sorry and she said oh no problem I’m not thirsty anymore thank you so much. So I kept on walking down the street and I saw someone trying to steel a drink  from a coffee shop then I said hey you stop that and I went to pull them away and the sauce shot out and from them. So I ran away. Then I walked past a fast food place and someone wanted spaghetti noodles and they couldn’t afford it. So I walked over to their window and I went to tap on it and spaghetti noodles shot out of my finger tips. They took some of their shirt and ate it, then they said thank you and drove away. So I went in to the fast food place and someone was trying to break the soda machine. So I told them to stop and I pulled them away and the spaghetti flung around his waist and he couldn’t move. Then everybody was cheering and saying thank you. I said your welcome and walked out. Right then I new I was a hero and I was Super Spaghetti. So I strolled down then street and someone was buying meatballs at a meatball place, so I walked up to them and asked if they wanted free meatballs, they said yes and I knew I could shoot sause and fling spaghetti noodles so I thought to myself and I said what is spaghetti without meatballs. So I put my fist out and meatballs shot out onto her plate and she looked so amazed and she kept thanking me. Then I saw someone trying to rob a bank so I ran outside and put out my fists and I shot meatballs at him and they were going so fast they knocked him out and he droped to the ground. At the end of the day I was proud of what I did and how I did it. So I got ready for bed and I put my spaghetti noodles together to finish my dress and I put big and small meatballs on the front of it and i was ready to start a new day tomorrow.

When I typed in my name nothing showed up so now I have to see if anything comes up for my moms name. Now nothing came up for my moms name so now I cant use her name or her picture and I cant use mine either. So this is what came up when I typed in my name.

When I typed in my name a lot of girls that were’nt me came up. There were pictures of them and there was even a female body builder, And I new for sure that was not me. Also when I typed in my moms name nothing came up, no pictures, no nothing. Not even a picture of her facbook profile picture. So I didnt use anything cause none of our photos came up.

                              Have you ever thought of what your top five things are? If you havent dont worry I havent either, until today. So here are my top favorite holidays.                     

                        1. My first favorite  holiday is Christmas. I like that holiday because its chritsmas and my birthday is two days before christmas!! I love the snow too. It snows mostly every year on my birthday or alittle bit after my birthday. Whenever it does snow im always happy, the only time i dont like snow is when it gets really icy. Also when my toes and fingers start getting cold and start to hurt.                    

                           2. My second favorite holiday is Halloween. I like Halloween because you get to dress up like anything you want to be and you get to go trick-or-treating and you get a lot of candy. My favorite thing about Halloween is that you get chocolate with your candy and also I like to dress up really funny, or scary.  Also you get to carve pumpkins into funny or scary faces.

                             3. My third favorite holiday is Easter. I like Easter because you get to color eggs and then you get to hide then and find them. Im too old for that now but Istill like Easter. Also if you get the plastic eggs you can put candy in them or even money!! And if you have a big family, like me, you get to have good dinner and a big dinner too.

                              4. My fourth favorite holiday is Valentines day. I like that holiday because I like getting chocolate. Also you can get flowers from other people. I was supposed to be born close to Valentines day, But I wasnt. Another thing I like about Valentines day is that its about love. You get hearts and all kinds of things that has to do with love.

                                5. My final holiday ilike is New Years. I like New Years because you have a big celebration the night before and then you get to stay up until its 12:00 at night. But sometimes people have big partys before New Years and even on New Years day. My family only has it the night before. But we also stay up for New Years day to come.
