Our Progress

We have done a lot of research in globaloria we have looked up cases about people getting sued for something noncriminal like when you are going into a fast food restraunt and you fall and break your leg or somrthing and they didn't have a wet floor sign so if you don't have enough money to pay for it you can sue them and they will have to pay for it if you win the case. One good web site to find cases is

http://community.lawyers.com/forums/t/81950.aspx. We have also found some cases that involve dogs getting ran over and the owners sueing them but you will have to play our game when it comes out if you want to see what kind.

Some research that we have found is also some really famous lawyers that have solved some really hard cases and we are going to let the lawyers be some of the characters that you can pick different ones will also be on the deffendents side to so they will be some really hard casesd.

Abby Taylor's Visit

Abby's visit was awesome she gave our team a lot of ideas to help with our paper prototype. She set a great example for us. She showed us that as hard as you work you can always make it to your goal. Rachael, David, and Abby where one of the best visits we have had. She gave us one idea that involved using a lot of different research in our game. Most of the reasearch was about cases from civil law which is noncriminal laws. She told u that she really liked our idea of putting you in the drivers spot when he is getting sued.

About my game

1. How does my game topic relate to civics? My game topic is about civics law without civics law it is hard to have civics because everyone would be breaking the little rules that civil law has to offer. Like if you go into someones house and fall on a banana and break a bone if they don't have enough money to cover it they can sue and get the person that ownes the house to pay the rest of the bill. 2. A player will learn alot more about civics while they play my game it will teach them the way of life that is harsh like when you get sued for someone accidently coming in your house and falling on something this is called civil law. 3. Where does my game topic fit into the Civics Knowledge Framework? It fits into the civics knowledge frame work because it is the civil law, that some people don't even know about. Does my game teach about an ideal of government, a function of government or about citizenship? My game is about citizenship and the function of government. It deals with citizenship by keeping it fair in the community like when you get sued for hitting a car if the person that ownes the car don't have the money to pay for it they can sue you so that you have to pay for it. It stands for function by keeping us in line so that everything doesn't go crazy. Here is a web site you can go to so you can learn more about civics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_law_%28legal_system%29

About The First Amendment

The first amendment means alot to me it gives you the right to speak up any where in the world when you want to. Like in court you wouldn't be able to speak up so the jury can hear your plea and you never know you might win a case just for being able yo have freedom of speech. I really like the first amendment because it gives you alot of oppertunities. If your principal doesn't let you wear your favorite shirt to school, do you have a right? Yes you do because you have the freedom of speech. If your locker was searched would you have a right to refuse the search. Yes you would because you have the freedom of speech see without the first amendment the world would be alot harder. Here is a website that will help you learn more about the 10 amendments.http://www.linecamp.com/merchants/freedom_documents/bill_of_rights/bill_of_rights.html

My Game Idea

My partner and I are starting a new unite it is called imaginning your game. We are trying to make a game that will teach you about civics law. It is going to be super fun with a bunch of educationl questions that will teach you but let you enjoy the game at the same time. You will use the space bar for gas to go forward and the arrow keys to move left or right. It is going to be a great game for kids.

Law Blog

I choose Amy Ridenour's blog because she stands up for the people because they have a right, and that is what laws stand up for our rights laws like robbery or money thef from paying your taxes they might cheat you out of a couple houndred dollars that they can keep for theirself. I like the school law blog because it will help you if your a new student from a different country you could read this and get a look of how school would is like here.htthttp://www.nationalcenter.org/2004/09/dementia-and-voting.htmlp://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/school_law/2009/08/souter.html
