Minecraft First Civilizations - Day 2

Day 2: How do you think things are going so far for your civilization?  Do you think you have everything you need to survive?  If not, what else do you need?  How does this connect to the civilizations you have learned about in social studies?

  1. I think things are going VERY well..... but excpet for people dieing all the time from hunger. Yes I do think we have EVERYTHING to survive. It connects to the civilizations we have learned because its VERY VERY VERY hard to survive because there are A LOT of enemies that will kill you like for example wolves, wolves will attack you and even other wolves around you are bad when you attack another wolf.Also it takes everyone's help in a civilization because without them we'd all just be dead.

    1. So far I think our civilization is a hot mess! We have pulled it together partially, but we still need a lot of things. Such as our food. It took one of our ranchers the whole class period just to get wheat from the farmers. I started hunting and made it my job to be a hunter for the ranchers. it is a Important job and I find myself very good at it. This civilization is relatable to the one we learned in social studies, because we have a limited time to go without food and we have many of the similar struggles. For example, confusion. A lot of us do not know what we are doing and there are many struggles! I am just glad it is all a game and wont have to face these problems in the real world.

    2. Jayla, you mention that there were a lot of struggles but were not specific.

  2. We need to get more food to be able to survive. Other than that were doing pretty good we need to breed more animals for food and we need to find more ways to mine gold and other ores.We can really experience how it was in the early times.

  4. In our civilization our group is doing good but we still need more supplies for the farmers,ranchers,. In social studies its just like back in the day because back in the day we had to farm for carrots and wheat so we can survival. And the ranchers,farmers,lumberjacks,had to bring us back the raw stuff so we can make it or cook it so we can make it better.

  6. Its going really well. I have everything I need. This connects to social studies because back then they needed a civilization to live and needed to help out one an other. My job is to get crops. Im growing potatoes and back then they harvested their food. So its going great.

  7. Today in minecraft we did a lot better than yesterday so we are doing very good. We made for food for everyone and no one starved as much. If we keep going at this rate we will have a huge village with lots of food. This connects to starting a civilization with the food, houses, and Animals that we have now.

Also i need to bild the cavtria befor we can not work no more food and water is no longer a promlom becuse we have them but the crafters are doing a good job to and so are farms , luberjacks , miners . Ever one is doing good so far and i think it will work out ok .

  10. I am builder and it was alot easy because now I get some tools to undo stuff when I build something and I am nearly finished on stuff I am building and now I can get some food instead of trying to kill some animals for some food and I can now craft stuff. That's why it was very easy for being a builder.

  11. Everything is going okay. I mean it could be better but we are doing fine now. We do have everything to surivie becuase we have food, shelter and all everything else. It connects by showing us how to suriviv by building up and starting from fresh. Just like old people did

  12. its going good we dont have everything we need we need more food for the animals. and it connects back to social studies bc were learning about how early humas survived with little things.

  13. I think our civilization is doing well except for people dying. I think the ranchers should get some horses and the lumber jacks can ride the horses into the forest to find more wood. It is a great experience and it is fun and it really teaches us how to survive like people from the past. It's about as close as we can get to the real experience but it is really teaching people to appreciate what we have to help us live now because back then it was harder to survive.

  14. In my civilization thing are ok exept we need gold for golden apples. No because we will need more animals. It connects by them needing alot of supplies

  15. The civilization is going well.It is still not perfect tough.We still need more food for our city,and the ranchers need to get more animals in pens.But other than that our civilization is pretty much perfect.

  16. Our civilization is getting bigger and better.We are finishing with our buildings and having a better day.I think that our farmers and ranchers are doing there best to get us food and keep us alive.I think we have everything to survive.We are making our civilization and were not moving anymore.We are going to stay here and live our lives here and this will become our home.

  17. I personally believe that our civilization is coming together really well, but I also believe that we need more wood because we lots of wood to make fences so we can fence in all of the animals and we also need more people to help us tame all of the animals so when people's hunger goes down they won't rely on us for their food.This relates to how we learned about the civilizations in social studies because all of the people had to work together in order for the civilization to stay together, just like we are in our mine craft lesson.

  18. My civilization is doing great because or animals get proper amount of food to stay alive as well as myself and group. So we have enough amount of food to survive to do our part and role in this civilization. All the people play their role we have food,veggies,crops,wood to help us survive and make houses also for our animals.Everything we do we had learned in our social studies to connect with us today about how we must find different ways so we can make sure the place has all it needs for our jobs.

  19. I think my civilization is going to do pretty good. I think we have mostly everything we need,but we probably just need a little bit of more food to survive off of.The sumerians are connected of what were doing now ,and what we did in social studies.For example they had problem with there food. We also had a problem with are food in mind craft, But we got better just like the sumerians did.

  20. In are civilization I think things are going really well. Because if the civilization wasn't going well we would have no food for the whole society , and we would all die. But I don't think we have everything we need to survive. We are just starting are society, and when you just start something you don't have everything you need. I think the civilization connects to Mesopotamia because just like Mesopotamia, we have problems with food. Mesopotamia created irrigation systems to help with that, and we are just starting are farm. I think are civilization will survive, and become a society.

  21. I think our civilization is going well, but some of us still need to focus more on our job than messing around. Other wise it is going really well, the builders had like 3 buildings and now they about 11 building. Also the farmers and miners are doing a good job too. The ranchers are doing a really good job also, with breeding the animals, getting meat from all the animals, also other things like leather,wool,feather. The only thing I need is gold and iron from the miners, and apples too, to make golden apples. Our civilization connects to all of the other civilizations we have learned about in social studies because we all have a job or a part to help our society. Also we are depending on the farm more than the ranchers because we can get that food a lot quicker. Today we are now depending on shop rite or Walmart, or whatever is close to you. That is how our civilization connects to civilizations back then.

  22. In are civilization it is going good but we need people are being inpatient and taking are crops and there not done yet so they need to patient and let them crops grow .We are learning that the people in old times it was hard as well to build a civilization

  23. The civilization is doing fine.It connects by telling us about ho to survive back in the day.Thats how it connects

  24. I think things are going great we are dieing less then the first time. We have a good amount of things that can keep us alive in our civilization. How this connects with the civilization in social studies is we are living how they had to live but in Minecraft like how we need to grow food suck as wheat, carrots, potatoes, and other things and how and how ranchers give us meat from the animals and how lumberjacks give us wood to build houses. This is all we need to survive and we also need cooks and crafting people I believe this community is going to grow into a great society.

  25. Today things were going so much better for the crafters (I am a crafter). People were giving us more supplies and orders we got the torches and ladders for miners.The pic axes and axes got to the builders and we had more food then we needed.Im pretty sure if it keeps going this way we can survive. We just need more food and buildings and for anyone who’s not a crafter to get out of the crafting room because they kept getting in our way, and I couldn’t get to the supplies.I think our civilization is going really well from Mrs.Altons class.

  26. So far things are going good. We fed most of our animals such as cows,chickens,and pigs. But we didn't feed our horses. The only thing they eat is golden apples. We need as much gold from the miners because it takes 8 pieces of gold to make 1 golden apple. Plus apples are kinda hard to get. Everyone in my group did not starve to death, and we had almost everything we needed except for gold and apples. This is related to what I learned in social studies because in the past they had to mins for things and they had to build things, and also they had to trade with people.

  27. I believe our civilization has been going pretty well so far. We need more food and places to live. This minecraft lesson is like what we learned in social studies because we all have different jobs that contribute to our society.

    1. So, how does having different job help contribute to society? What would happen if you didn't all have specific jobs?

  28. 1 I think things are going great and it got easier when I got torches and ladders.
    2 I think I have every I need i have food,torches and swords
    3 This connects to the civilizations I have learned about in social studies because they made things out of wood and stone like the builder did and they made crops like the farmer did to.

  29. So far I think our civilization is going ok but we need some more food and our miners need to stop playing around. No I think we need more to survive more food there can never be enough food , and plants because that’s how u breed the animals.This makes a great connection to early humans because most of our struggles our the ones early humans had like not enough food and no places to stay. That’s how early humans connects to Minecraft.

  32. I think that things are going well in my civilization. I think that there is not enough food. Also that the crafters do not get the things done quick enough. Lastly my group (ranchers) will not kill the animals because they think we don't have enough, but i tell them we could always breed more. They don't care i think this is slowing down the community of meats. I think this connects to what we are learning in social studies because we are learning about civilizations and i think that the thing were left over and how Mr.Dunn explained it are a lot like what we are learning.

  33. I think everything in our civilization is going good. Yes i think we have everything to survive. I think this connects to the civilizations we learned about in social studies because they had to survive off of resources and they had to rely off each other to do their jobs to make the civilization better.

  34. I feel that things are going a little slow in our group. We are the builders, so we have to build a lot of structures. We do have everything we need to survive. We have enough food to keep us going. When I was getting hungry, I found a chest with 36 carrots in it! It was more than enough to fuel our food needs. We are still missing small things. For example, we do not have all the materials for the structures we are building. It connects really well to what we learned in social studies. Long ago, people had farmed for food to keep them going. We do the same thing in Minecraft. They also needed to build structures to have a place to live, places for entertainment, places to worship gods, etc.The builders do the same thing. There were also crafters back then. They crafted tools for everyone to use in their own way. That is what the crafters do in Minecraft. That is how our group is doing and how the Minecraft connects to our social studies.

  35. hello i am a lumberjack and i think that our civilization is doing well because as we go on braking wood we help every one out on getting them on wood and i think were all doing our part and getting done what we need to get done and we are almost done getting the builders and the crafters what they need.I think that all of us are set because since we had food and we all work together and we help each other out and that when they ask for stuff we don't say go get it give it.I think this connects with social studies and that we see in ancient time what they had to do in order to survive in what they had to do to help each other.

  36. In our civilization we are doing pretty well. I'm a crafter so far I was cooking some beef, pork, and mutton in a furnace. We have lots of wood. We have lots of iron and more ores. A lot of bone meal so the farmer can go plants quicker. So I think we are doing well.

  37. The village of room 29 is going well.But that is my opinion.The one thing the we lumberjacks want are pickaxes.You can chop faster.THe best part of being a lumberjack is that you get to kill animals if they are out of the pen.They are wild at that point.by Evan Blake

  38. My group is doing really good are buildings are really coming together. Everyone is doing great i'm learning new things my group is almost done with are buildings that we have so far.I think we need. more wood and glass and things to make art because I'm building an art galary. Most of the civilizations we learn about they fight each other and try to stay alive and work together to have a stable community.

  40. Things in my civilization are good. I think we have everything we need to survive because the farmers like me are planting the food well and everything is under control. This connects to social studies because we learned how difficult it is to have a civilization and we also learned what they went through to keep it in control also we have learned what they do to keep their lives and to keep the civilizations!

  41. are civilization is going good except we need better ores like diamonds. the farmers also need to plant more crops. the breeders also need to make more meat because meat gives you more food bars back. my team also needs to build buildings faster. over all are civilization is doing pretty good.

  42. In our civilization our group is doing good because every thing is almost done and by tomarow be cause all we have to do is build a cople rooms and a roofalso a cople lights .we also need food and more wood so the farmers need to get food.miners deed to get some axes.

  43. In the civilisation i think we are doing great we have food,wood,houses,tools,animal.Every one is helping each other with if they need food or more supplies.I think that we do need more food because there is a lot and we all need food and everyone has been dieing because we need food . How this goes to what we did in socity studies relats to the is like the Egyptians they thought their pharaoh was picked from the gods .the leaders of the group we where in where like the pharaohs and mr.Dunn was the god oh pick the next pharaoh all so the jobs.nadiah harley

  45. So far things are good.Since there is enough food supplies and shelter.There is enough supplies so everyone can survive.This project ends up connecting by how people started off.By planting,building,and crafting.Then finally how people didn't have technology in the beginning of time.

  46. Things are going pretty good with the civilization, food isnt much of a worry anymore. We have most of the things we need to survive, but everybody misplaces things making it difficult to have everyone know were things are. This connects to social studies because we need to get the resources ourselves instead of going to the store. We also learn what jobs were like and working as a civilization.

  47. In Minecraft I am doing just fine,but we are having a small problem with the lack of tourches to use as marckers and find our way out of the mines. Because of this we are not able to work as fast as before. all in all we are just fine though, and I even found some iron,gold, and yes dimonds witch will help us to get more reasources. Hard to exlain but us finding natural resources benaeth the surface and givig them to the crafters who give it to everyone else we get more also by the others working faster and harder with the new resources and us getting more of what they gainned.

  48. I think we are doing really good and working together a little better then before. I think we have a good enough supply to survive but we could do a little better. We need more ores and stones because ores is used in a lot of things like buckets, tools, mechanisms ,etc.In social studies it was hard for the Sumerians to survive because it was a struggle for them to communicate. But as time went on my group was able to communicate better then when we first started.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I think everything is going well for our civilization because no one has complained about not having enough supplies and no chaos has happened. I think that I have everything I need to survive because I'm a lumberjack and when I cut down trees, I find apples in them. Sometimes I even have to kill animals to get food. The civilizations that I have learned in social studies connect to this. For starters everyone had to work together in a civilization because without one person doing their job, the whole civilization could suffer. I also learned in social studies that people had to hunt and farm for their food to survive and that's what we had to do in minecraft.

  50. I think are group is doing really good because we are giving to the ranchers, and the Lumberjacks food so they can all survive, and the builders ask yesterday for they to get more food so we give them more food now so they can survive,and have more energy.Now we are more exciting cause we like to give food for the Lumberjacks,and the Ranchers, and the builders so they can have more energy everyday.

  51. I think our civilization is going pretty well, though I think we need to make more bone meal for the farmers. Furthermore, we need farmers to bring some more raw food so we can cook it. Other then that were doing OK. Also, our civilization connects to what we are learning in social studies because we are creating our own supplies and tools to to make our homes, to cut wood, to make clothes, and to defend our ourselves.

  53. In our civilization our group is doing good, but the only thing we really need is gold. WE need gold for the crafters to make golden apples for our horses, our horses haven't ate this whole time. We have apples,but not gold. We need bones for the wolfs to kill the animals after we're done with them. This connects to what we're learning in social studies because,we have plans like they did,we have different jobs like they did. We had a lot of supplies they did also. They made pyramids and the builders made pyramids. That's whats we learned in social studies and we have almost all the supplies we need.~Katelyn Purdy~

  55. things are going very well. a lot of request, but going good so far. I do think we have every those well but as i said we need to work on the food situation. this is connecting to our social study because this is showing how the civilization us had to deal with stuff. For example WE have farmers and stuff so we have to craft them with seeds, crops. for the ranchers they have the animals so we need those animals to feed our selves, and so did the civilization before us. Okay so we have miners miners mine for stuff like gold,gems,iron, stone, gravel. The crafters craft stuff so the village can Survive. With out the crafters we wont be able to eat have tools cut down trees mine stuff, and without them we would be dead. Wow I cant wait for tomorrow

  56. I think our civilzation is going pretty good except that i keep falling into the ravine. We have everything except for enough food. Other than that we have everything.

  58. So far I think my civilization is doing good. We have a lot of things we need to survive. The only things we really need is obtaining a food supply and our farm is looking small. We're gonna need to get a lot more animals if we want to survive. It's like the earliest humans, over so many generations of them, they went from nomads to a full civilization. They grew smarter and our civilization is kind of like the earliest humans.

  60. Everything is doing well for the ranchers,but every time we ask for orders the crafters never make it and when they do make stuff they place it down all over the ranch.We also lost our wolves they just disappeared.We do need more fences,gates and also leads and saddles for the horses.
