Mad Hot Ballroom


--What does teamwork mean to you?--

I think that teamwork means to me working together as a team and never let each other down.
When they are dancing with their partner they are trying to get to know their partner,so that way at the end they will work together.

--How do you see these students trying to work together?--


I see that they are trying their best by dancing together even if they are shy.They are also trying to talk to each other while they are dancing because maybe if they wouldn't be able to communicate,they would end up stepping onto each other.They also provide opportunities for the other people who want to learn things that are new.They were also talking about how the girls feel like uncomfortable when the teacher comes and dances with them, so they are already knowing how to start a conversation and what are the things that they don't like.

--How important was teamwork for these students?--

It was important to them because now they are getting close to the competition,so now they are working so hard for them to know how to dance with their partner.
When they were announcing who were going to the semi-finals,everybody who didn't got picked,they were each supporting each other.
Working as a team helped some of the students.
One of the students was really close to be a street kid,but within the dancing,he changed his path on being a dancer.


--What do you think is the main message that these students should take away from this experience?--

I think that the message is that we have to work as a team if we want to reach the things that we want.Also,we have to support each other when we are having problem about something that makes us feel bad and not wanting to do anything.

--How will you work together with your teammates in Globaloria?--

We will work in our team by making an agreement when we don't know what to do.We can also support each other when we are having difficulties maybe with Flash.Most importantly,we have to work as a team by doing the things together and having fun with them.

The game that I was playing that I liked was, Shape Inlay Math Game.I liked it because the things that you have to do in there is that they will give you a puzzle where you have lots of shapes and see where you can put them.The shapes are down on the bottom and you have to hurry and see where you can put them, since they give you a specific place where you can put them.If you don't hurry up the shapes will stack even more, and when it has stacked all the way to the other side, you will lose the game.Well if you win, in the instructions it says that you will create a picture and the shapes will be there.Since I haven't really won the game it sad in the instructions that you will create a shape or picture.The thing that I liked about it is that, you can put the shapes anywhere that you want,so there's not specific place that you have to put them on.

J. Lo Fur Bully on The Block
The thing that you have to do for this game is that you need to rescue the animals,but you have to be very fast because J. Lo chases you for you not to get the animals and then you got to start over if she gets to catch you.Each animal that you get, you will earn points.Other things like a lady in Level 1 or people, they have points too.Once you have wasted 3 lifes, you will restart the levels again.
I think that Social Issue is Saving the animals such as Endangered Species.I think that it is because even in the instructions says that you have to save them or else you will lose the game.
It teaches it to the player because it includes on helping the animals that are in trouble and they are hard to save in the enviornment.
Super Chick Sisters
You have to pass the Level to go to another world.You can also collect birds or whatever they are to get point and save them too.
I think that the Social Issue is saving the animals that are being mistreated.I think that it is because it has some signs about the facts about it.
