__Scratch Journal:__ So far in the creation of my Scratch, I have completed defining terms that the consumer will need to know to progress in the game. I have created most if not all sprites I will need. I still need to finish overall, but specifically I need to finish making the questions for the consumer to answer and complete the the interactive sequence.

__**Class Rules**__
 * 1) No food or drink
 * 2) Eyes and hands off computers when teacher is talking
 * 3) No gum
 * 4) No rough housing/being off task
 * 5) Logout at the end of the period

__Sketch-Up City of the Future:__

My city will include things that we use today like... a library, a museum, restaurants, stores, hospitals, a zoo, a park, a school, apartments and home, public pool, work buildings/towers, roads and highways, etc.

This city will also include things we don't have today such as... a place where you can buy a robot butlers,space train stations where you can go to work on the moon, jetpack store, and a building where the people of the city grow their food because there are no more farms in the future.

This city would also have practical things that we use but don't take the time to notice like, street lights, street signs, drinking fountains, sidewalks, and bike racks.

__**Scratch-**__

We interact with computers on a daily basis. Cell phones, video games, television, etc. We use computers for working and as a form of entertainment. Computers have replaced things that we used to do in the past like writing. Now, most people use their computer and a keyboard to type. Computers have also replaced shopping. People don't need to leave their houses, they have the convenience of ordering and buying whatever they want form their laptop. We can use computers to create programs, models, presentation, art, etc. We use computers to express our creativity
 * What are the different ways you interact with computers?
 * How many of those ways involve you //creating// with computers?

Program Summary:

I will create a program that fallows the story of a frog from the beginning of his life. The player will complete tasks and obstacles that the frog may face while it is developing and learning. The main goal for the frog is to find his parents that left him to fend for himself without him knowing why. If you win, you find the parents and survive. If you lose, the frog dies and he fails to complete his quest. There will be little or no sound effects in this game.The game will consist of mostly typing on the keyboard and some clicking. The main demographic that would be using this program would be children from the age range of 7-10. The goal is to keep the frog alive and happy. The story will end with twist (Don’t worry, no spoilers here).

__**Scratch Journal:**__

Today, I will work on the second level of my story based game. During this part, the tadpole will learn that he cant walk on land because he isn't grown yet. He will meet a new friend who will help him get on to land and find his parents. I might need help on finding different challenges for the tadpole to undergo and accomplish. The most interesting thing I have learned is all the different ways the user can interact with sprites. The ways range from clicking on them to typing things in to them that they can remember for later. The math in my game is put into the programing script that show the places the sprite should move to and when.

__School Scratch:__

My scratch will teach the user about Net Forces and how they compare. The user can choose a force between 1-10. This number will determine weather the opposing force will be stronger or weaker. The two forces will be pushing against each other. If the chosen force (the user's force) is stronger then the programs force,it will move in its direction. If the chosen force is weaker then the programs force, it will move in the opposite direction.

__Scratch Journal:__ My scratch will explain and teach the comparison of large net forces compared to smaller net forces. Today I will finish the different sprites included in the project. I will also begin with showing the definitions of any words that may not me
