Let's Celebrate Black History Month 2013 with Games
I want you to choose an African American Hero, Civil Rights Activist, Artist, Scientist, Writer, Educator, Engineer, Poet, Musician, or historical event, that is important to you or that you admire for their work. Do some research on this person. Find out about their life and what they contributed to society or are currently doing in the world today. Jot your notes down in a blog post and then use that information to create a game that teaches people about that person. When you decide what or who you will focus your game on, leave me a comment below and tell me about it.

ReplyDeleteHi......
ReplyDeleteI will be making a game on Lorraine Hansberry, her occupation was Playwright and Author. I and Lorraine have several things in common, which inspires me. She was the first black playwright. I am thinking of adding hidden objects to my game which will be books she has written. Whenever each book is found, a scene will come up and teach them a little bit of the book. Locations will be included in the game, for example chicago can be a background since she was born there. So far, this is what I have thought of.

ReplyDeleteMy game is going to be about Martin Luther King Jr.He is really important because he wanted to end the racism and he wanted peace in all over the world.He said that all people are the same no one is less or more,and I think he was right because back then some people thought that they were more important and that is not true because every one is equal, no one is less or more.
