Over the past two days, we have been working on our Scratch games during class. We are making games about the Oregon Trail that teach the player about Westward Expansion. It is helpful to have time in class because each student has different knowledge about the program and we can help each other. My project is almost complete.
There is also a movie playing while we work on our projects. The movie is called Red River, and it tells the story of a cowboy. We have been comparing the differences between the movie and life as a real cowboy. Life as a real cowboy seems more predictable and safer than the movie would suggest. I would rather be a real cowboy than a character in the movie because the movie characters experience more gunfights and problems than real cowboys would. This activity has shown how misleading popular culture can be.
