Why we should be able to play video games at school

 Do you like video games? I do! Do you get bored at lunch, I do. It is very dumb yet, what if we had video games? Video games are very satisfying. Just imagine all the possibilities we would have if we had video games. 

 First of all, People who played action games like Call of Duty showed the capacity to learn more than those who played non-action games. Isn’t that amazing! Fortunately, in new studies, it has also shown that playing video games increases your IQ. The study also says playing games for as little as 30 minutes a day, can improve your life. Research has shown that video games can improve your brain, body, health and information organization. 

My second point is that video games are a popular hobby in the world. DID you know that more than 150 million Americans play video games? That’s about 46 times of the population for New Zealand! Games like Fortnite can help to make strategies and cooperation to win.

There are other educational games like sumdog, Prodigy and scratch. For example, Sumdog can improve about all curriculums and prodigy can improve your maths. Scratch has operators that need a lot of calculations to make something and scratch can also give you better imagination.

If you still don’t agree with me then, listen to this, you do know Minecraft, right? It is an enjoyable game yet, did you know that in new studies Minecraft can help you be more creative, problem-solving and collaboration. For example, you can go into creative mode and build anything you want. I have made a google form and the result was, that conclusion that 60% of the people that did the quiz agreed with me.

In conclusion, I hope I convinced you so, in the future we will be able to play and bring video games to school.

What is bartering?

The day I traded my sister for a nerf gun

WALT Write an Introduction that hooks the audience I used dialogue for my writing “You will not trade your dad,” said my mum angrily “I promise,” I said “Good now go,” said my mum demanded impatiently I quietly thought to myself “I wasn’t going to trade my dad but she didn’t say anything about trading my sister”... “I'm going to get something, stay here and don’t trade your dad,” my mom told me seriously. When she left, Nathan came over to the back yard and showed me his new nerf gun. It was the one I wanted so I asked him if he wanted any of my toys for the gun. He took one look at my toys and surprisingly took another look at my dad. Finally, he said “ I don’t want your toys and I don’t want your dad. When I heard this I was desperate but suddenly I had a brilliant idea. “Take my sister then,” I said and pointed at her. “Can she do maths,'' asked Nathan with an evil grin? “Yes yes yes” I replied desperately “Ok, I’ll do a trade,” said Nathan then he left with my sister When mom came back I asked her if we can get some nerf darts and she replied “if we really need them” So I showed her my nerf gun. “Where did you get this from,” she said suspiciously “ nowhere,” I said unconvincingly. “Where your sister you didn’t do it did you,” said mom in a VERY suspicious tone Since my cover was blown, I decided to tell her the truth. When I was done talking, she looked at me like she was going to explode. She gave me my nerf gun and told me to get my sister back. I ran to Nathan's house. I ran so fast I think I could have gotten a gold medal in the Olympics for running at THAT speed. When I got there I was exhausted. Nathan came to the door and I told him I wanted my sister back. I got my sister and we ran home again. My mom made me promise not to trade my dad and my sister but she didn’t say anything about herself. hehehe... To be continued
