Survival in early humans can be simulated in mine craft because mine craft is a game all about surviving in the wild. mine craft is all so a game that can be simulated by using a world to to survive in like a early human. Mine craft is like living in early times because it is a survival game. EJ
Some connections that I see from what I learned in social studies and what can be simulated of it on Mine-craft is that surviving in mine-craft could make a little connection to what life was like in the early hominids before civilization because you'd have to wood , fire ,food and supplies to survive and also NOT die to so that is a little connection between mine-craft and our social studies lessons and studying as a whole.
Connections between Neolithic and Paleolithic times and Minecraft, are that you both have to get supplies to survive. A difference is in Minecraft you can respawn. In the old and new stone age you could talk like in Minecraft. There are both villages in Minecraft and the stone ages.
The connections of minecraft and social studies are that minecraft can simulate the same enviroment as what the early humans lived in. It also simulates the same way they had to live because they didn't have any super market nearby or a home depot a couple blocks away like we do.It will show us that we have to find our own food and create our own houses. Finally we are going to have to make our own tools for building houses and other life requirements or nescesity's
The connections that I see between social studies and Minecraft is, survival because when we learned about all the homo groups of people and pale and neolithic people we learned that they had to hunt to get food and if they didn't they would have died of starvation. When your on Minecraft you have to kill cow or chicken to get food to cook for survival. Another connection I see is that you have to craft stuff in Minecraft like, tools or wood to make shelter, and the historic people had to do the same for shelter or tools to hunt.
In minecraft you need to make tools to get food and that is what the early homonids had to do too.In both you have to survive out in the wild by yourself.You dont have a huge family to do things for you.
I can see connections between what I have learned in Social Studies and what can be simulated in Minecraft. For example, growing crops, domesticating animals, decorating, and living more comfortable. Growing crops (Farming) is something that you have to become more advanced in. Domesticating animals is something you also have to specialize in. First you have to build a shelter for the animals, then you herd them into their shelter. Decorating is a subject that you can choose to become more advanced in. Another example would be hunting, gathering, and making tools. Hunting is very dangerous at many levels depending what you hunt. Gathering food such as nuts, wild berries, and other plants is not stable. It is not stable because some could be poisonous or unhealthy. Making tools may be a timely process and it would be difficult because you need these tools to create other important necessities. Permanent living (housing) is made from mud, branches, and rocks. What came to conclusion is that what we learned in Social Studies and Minecraft are similar to each other, also they both have to do with early living.
The things I learned in social studies are like minecraft because your out in the wild and looking for things to survive like food, water, building materials. You will need to find sturdy and hard things to make wepends and house or shelter. In minecrafe you could use stone or wood. You'll need to hunt for food for cloths and food. In minecraft use could hunt for cows, chickens, pigs. You have to go to a place were there is water like near a mountain or a lake. IN minecraft use could go by a waterfall or a river, or those mountains. -Jessica
Minecraft can be related to the material I have learned in Social Studies. In MinecraftEdu you need to fined food, wood, and make shelters and tools. The early Hominids a.k.a. Early Humans, had to find food and water as well to survive. In Minecraft there is day and night just like real life, the Early Humans had to survive day and night, everyday. Early Humans also eventually through evolution, created tools to help them survive, just like in Minecraft you can collect wood and make tools to help make a shelter. So in many ways Minecraft can be just like a simulation to relate to how the Early hominids survived.
Mr.Dunn actually lost his mind. The Early Hominds had to survive and hunt for food and, in Minecraft there is something called survival mode and that's when you have to hunt for food and try to survive with not a lot of resources. Posted by Grace
Im Social Studies I learned alot like it takes alot to live in the wild and you dont even know how to make fire. Also I learned that it takes a lot of time to get eveything down. Its a little different frome mincraft but its the same because the hominids had to survive in the woods and didnt know how to do anything thats the same way with mincraft. you have to try to survive.
Yes Mr.Dunn has lost his mind! One connection i can see between what I've learned in Social Studies and what can be simulated in Minecraft is food. You can farm, fight people, steal from villages, and kill animals. What we learned in social studies is the groups, they farmed, killed animals, and fought. Another connection I can see between I've learned in Social Studies and what can be simulated in Minecraft is shelter. In Minecraft online new players build houses out of dirt, mud, and most things they see. They aren't really in this jist yet. In Social Studies they build houses out of mud. In Minecraft players craft tools and make things, in Social studies hominids and early modern humans made tools and so did neolithic and paleolithic groups did to. Minecraft and Social Studies are alike in some ways.
Jorel, I see you couldn't resist talking about Mr. Dunn's sanity but I'm glad you were able to make some really good connections to social studies. Please make sure you proofread before submitting your response.
the connections I see between Social Studies and what I did i mine craft is that,in both social studies and in minecraft you have to learn how to survive out in the wild either by yourself or with someone.Another thing i learned is that back in the paleolithic times and in minecraft is that you have to know how to build things to survive.If,you know how to build that will keep you out of the bad weather and protect you from dangerous animals.I,also learned that if you stick together and you have a huge community to help you out you will be able to survive.I,also know that if you keep a stable food supply you don't have to keep moving around and that means that you can stay in one spot and live together forever.
Minecraft is the same as social studies because, in minecraft you can brake trees to make shelters. You also create houses to live inside to survive just like the early hominids. Second of all homo sapieans would use natural things like wood,stone,steel,and,iron just like in minecraft. Another reason they are the same is because, the hominids killed animals to eat like cows,pigs,chickens and anything else that was editable. In minecraft you have to hunt pigs,chickens,cows and more.Fourth of all the hominids had to survive in the wild with no power or technology and, in minecraft you get no power either. That's how the early hominids and minecraft are the same.
I think that this is a good way of teaching us.I say this because by using mine craft and acting as if we were in the Early Humnas days is pretty cool.Also by using mine craft some of us really like the app.And when u have fun while learning I think u actually learn more.
I think that playing minecraft is helping us lean about the early hominids because the hominids and minecraft both have to do with surviving. Also you learn how to provide food andshelter in minecraft. Providing food helps us visualize how they farmed and hunted. Making and providing shelter helps visualize how they built houses, and what they made them out of.
I notice that what I've learned in social studies, and what you can simulate in minecraft, are connected in some ways. In minecraft, you are able to learn how to survive without any shops, stores or anything we have in present day. In social studies, we learn about early humans, learning different and new ways to survive. They did not have things we have today. In minecraft, you had to gather food, and gather wood and stones to build shelters to survive. These were very similar to the ways early humans lived. So minecraft can actually be a great way to show how early hominids lived and survived.
What connections do I see between what I have learned in social studies and can be simulated in Minecraft are in social studies I learned that people hunted different animals. In Minecraft you hunt animals such as cows, pigs,and sheep. In Minecraft you build houses out of materials such as Cobblestone and wood. In social studies people would build houses out of whatever was around them. In social studies Mrs. Alton showed us that people eventually learned to make farms. In Minecraft you can build huge farms all you need is a hoe,dirt,and seeds. That is how I compared social studies to minecraft.
I can see that in mine-craft allows you to build more things like using gold and diamond when in the early humans couldn't use that type of material at that time.Also that when you use farming it allows you to automatically grow your crops with bone-meal.In the early times they couldn't just say abracadabra and their crops be fully grown.Also in the early times they couldn't just go out and see deer everywhere they go.
I see a lot of connections between Social Studies and minecraft. one of them is that in the early times you would try to survive. You wouldn't start out by having shelter or having food. You would have nothing to start out with. And in minecraft when you are on survival mode you start with nothing and have to build everything and get everything by yourself. Also in minecraft we are in pairs so we can help each other out, and in social studies early humans started to form communities and they would have one another's back. So in many ways both Social Studies and minecraft have connections.
The connections that social studies and Minecraft are that they both involve looking for food, building shelters, and building weapons for protection. you also have to hunt for food by wacking cows, or sheep for food. I also think that it takes the same amount of energy and work for building shelters. Pretty much minecraft is almost the same think like living years ago.
In social studies we learned about early modern humans and how they live. I can connect this to Minecraft .Back then you had no supplies or food when you wanted. You had to sometimes wait months to kill just one animal. Also you had to build your own tools. To start, you didn't't have any food so you had to search for it on your own and in Minecraft you can hunt for animals or grow crops.Secondly, you had to build your own shelter to survive from attacks from animals and in Minecraft you can use blocks to create a shelter.Finally, you had to search for water by going to a river,lake,or stream. It was very hard living as an early modern human.
Maya, I love how you set up your response and it flowed nicely with the use of transition words. You made some great connections to social studies as well!
Social Studies and minecraft are related in many ways. ONe way thta they are related is that you have to survive in real life cause if you don't have any food,water,shelter,and a nice inverment to live in. Now moving on to minecraft you have to do the exact same thing but the difference is that in minecraft if you die you can re spawn but in real life that wont happen .Those are the thing that are the same about minecraft and in Social Studies.
I can compare Minecraft to Social Studies is when early humans needed to gather up food. So people in Minecraft need to gather up food so they can survive.
In minecraft you spawn in and you have nothing in the neolithic days they started out with nothing.You also have to find food,make shelter,make tools,and get supplies without dying. In neolithic days you had to find food,make shelter,and get supplies without dying.This is how minecraft and neolithic days can relate.
I learned that humans back then dint have a lot of resources and things werent just handed to them like they are to us. In minecraft we will probably have to get resources ourselves, get food ourselves, and build shelter, while having 30 other people in our server. There will probably not be enough food for everyone and some people might die. Anyways, I am excited for todays computer lab time and hope to make good progress
Nida, you were able to make some accurate assumptions and connect Minecraft to social studies. Please make sure you proofread before submitting your comment.
During the minecraft simulation I reckon that it was hard for the early humans to learn how to do a lot of things they needed to do for survival.I say this because I didn't know anything about minecraft,and I was not excited about doing it because I had no clue on how to do most things in the game.This reminds me of the early humans .They had been trying and trying to farm . Most of the time they got nothing to grow, but eventually one person I can't think of his name ,but he is the first person to actually successfully farm a crop.He realized that overtime it was to much work to do alone and he had a lot of crops go bad because he harvested more than he could eat.He decided to share his highly intelligent ways to people in his family.Before he knew it , he had no more stress of making more than they could eat and he had enough "workers" so he had more free time to work on other things.This reminds me of myself when I did not know what to do . I felt like I wasn't going to understand the controls ,and I would be the only one not knowing how to play minecraft. I felt pressured and confused . But luckily Mr.Dunn explained the controls but he also made a "cheat sheet"That helped a lot and I wasn't worried anymore
There are many connections between what we have learned in Social Studies and what can be simulated in minecraft. Like when you are in survival mode on minecraft you have to get all of your supplies and what you need to survive in the wild. When the hominids or years past people were in the wilderness they had to make shelter, get food, and make fire so they would not die just like in minecraft!
I think that mr dunn has gone crazy but at the same time no he hasn't. I think that it is okay to add popular games to educational learning becsuse it makes kids wanna do it. Again i think that it is okay to that because it is adding fun to a kids "boring" day in school. But at the same time i think that mr dunn has gone crazy because he never really knew how to play minecraft, he just opened himself into playing it.those are reasons why i think mr dunn has gone crazy and not.
What can be simulated in Minecraft? Survival. In survival mode of Minecraft you have to obtain food and make a shelter to keep mods like zombies, spiders, and skeletons out. This is how Minecraft somewhat relates to real life.
The connections that I see are that I had to build shelter like the early humans. Also I had to hunt for food, and then I had to cook it. Lastly I had to where everything was, and I had to be aware of predators. I needed to have a sense of community.
The connections i see between what i learned in social studies is that the early humans had to learn how to walk and other things that will make them resourceful.You can simulate a tutorial on what controls help you walk or dig up blocks.
The connections between what I have learned in Social Studies that can be simulated in Minecraft are when you "spawn" into a open world where their are "biomes", biomes are what type of climate the area is in like a snow biome, or a plains biome, and a desert biome. Their are some biomes, another thying that can be simulated in Minecraft is how you have to make tools, hunt for food, and try to build shelter in order to survive. These are some ways why the things I've learned in Social Studies can be simulated in Minecraft.
The connections I saw was that in Minecraft, you have to hunt and gather items. In social studies (yes you have lost your mind, Mr. Dunn), the hominids and ape men gathered stuff and hunted
Minecraft compared to SS is almost exact. One thing is that you a fresh start like the neolithic age. Another thing is you have to have food and shelter just to survive. I think minecraft is the best to learn about the old stone age and the new stone age - Eddy A
In social studies, we have learned about how humans dealt with living in the different eras of time. They didn't have phones, or heat, air conditioning, shopping markets, and more like we do today. In mine craft, you don't have that privilege either.In mine craft you have to make everything.You can collect wood, tame animals (wolves,cats,horses),make boats, and so much more! Mine craft, different time periods, and modern day are very different with different privileges.
So far we have learned about the conditions the early humans and homeneds had to live in and deal with.Also will we get to build and hunt like early humans or not?
The connections between what i have learned in Social Studies is that can be simulated in Minecraft are when you have to make shelter like in the early humans.You also have to watch what is around you and be aware also like the early human.That are some connections of what i learned in Social Studies that can be simulated in Minecraft.
Emily.l the connections between mind craft and early humans is that in mind craft and early humans they both have to survive by them self's. also they both have to communicate with grunts. another thing is that they have to eat or they will starve to death.
One of the connections that I can see between what we've learned in social studies and simulating in Minecraft is like the humans of long ago, you need to build a shelter to survive. You can get water (although it is not needed in MineCraft) from the natural water sources like long ago. Also in MineCraft, you can attack other people's villages, if you are bothered enough to build a whole village. Another thing, is when people built said villages, they had to gather all of their materials, like you do in MineCraft.
The connections with mine craft and social studies you have to survive in different ways.This connects with early hominids and how they survived and how they could had survived.In mine craft it helps you figure out what problems and challenges they may had faced.
In minecraft you have to survive in the wild.You have to find your own food make your own weapons to survive.You have to make a house or find a house for protection and when it rains and stuff. That is how minecraft is like the early hominids
I think that the Minecraft simulation will help me learn more about early hominids, which we have been learning about in social studies. For example, in Minecraft, you have to build shelter and find food, which early hominids had to do. Also, We had to stay in partners and not abandon anyone, which was also how it was before. Early hominids would travel in groups to survive. Finally, Minecraft will be as if you were actually living in early hominid time. Nichole V
In minecraft, you are spawned in to the world with no food, or tools. Early humans had to develop later on to begin crafting tools. In both worlds, you would have to chop down trees to craft tools. Then you can begin hunting for food. As you go on, you can upgrade your tools to worker more but less harder. You can begin farming in an area. When you craft more resources, you have more possibilities. You can upgrade your home so that you can be safe from monsters, like early humans, they had to defend themselves from enemies or dangerous creatures.
this is new and interesting even thought i dont like this game i am interested i also like how we can make connections with mine craft and socalstudies even though its just a game but you do use tools and weapons like early humans such as axes swords and animals like horses this will most likely be a good project i like it .
I think that mine-craft is like the Neolithic age because in the Neolithic age was survival and like mine-craft when you go on it is survival mode and you have to use tools and weapons and build houses.Just like the Neolithic age.On mine-Craft you learn new things about survival and what basic tools to use and how to use them.Just like the Neolithic age all the people learned how to do new things and methods and ways that Neolithic people were taught.i think learning this new mine-craft will teach me a lot of things i don't know about the Neolithic age
This is how I think minecraft is related to the early humans. You have to make tools and hunt animals to survive. You have to cut down trees and use your surroundings to build permanent shelter. You can trade with villagers just like they did. You can also make farms and domesticate animals. You have to gather items to trade. You also have to chop down wood and mine stone to make tools. Those are some reasons why I think minecraft is related to the early humans.
I think mine craft relates to the neolithic age because at first you have nothing.Then you have to get wood to build like neolithic age.And get food by domesticating animals. That is why i think mine craft relates to the neolithic age.
MInecraft and early hominids are alike because... In MInecraft you have to survive just like they did before You can farm and breed animals and also you can tame wolves cats and ride mules and horses. Also you can use them for carrying supplies and transportation. There are many crops such as wheat carrots potatoes and root beets.
In the textbooks you are not able to control what that person does. In Mine craft you are. The reason I like mine craft is because i can experience what I'm doing. I feel like i live in that time. Of course I didn't know how to work it. It was really hard. But I like this source better than the textbooks. I'm more into acting. So this video game is much more useful than the textbooks. Of course that's my opinion. The textbooks are just full of pictures. Mine craft makes you feel like your there. The textbooks are useful just i like to have fun with it. But to all the other teachers who are reading this post, I would suggest that you use a simulator like this.
We can make a connection with Mine craft and what I have learned in social studies because in MC you have to have resources and be smart about what you do. In the Neolithic time, you would have to gather hunt and most of all use agriculture. This helps us/me understand that the two subjects have similarities between these two things. This also helps me understand that in real life, you can't just use blocks to make everything. There is lots of different things to explore in mine craft, but we can really focus on thinking on how this will help us with the New Stone Age.
I like Mine-craft so it was cool to do this. These are related because you have to make everything, just like the early hominids. You use tools like the ax, stove, and swords. You also farm and you can grow crops.
They are the same because they both have to do with farming, tools, food, and also shelter.In mine-craft we would also have to stay with our partners.The early hominids had to stay together in groups.They would help each other.
The Neolithic Age and the game Mine craft may seem comepletily different ,but they actually have a lot in common. First in Mine craft you have to kill or collect your own food. In neolithic Age They had to grow and collect their own food.They also might have to kill a deer for protein. Next in Mine craft their are creepers and zombies.I'm not saying this is what they had to survive against ,but a creeper could represent a coyote. Lastly it mine craft You have to build your own homes out of materials you find. In Neolithic Age they had to build homes out of stone mud and clay.These are all materials they found.There are a few more examples but these are just a couple. Now you know how hard it was to live in the Neolithic Age.
In day two of minecraft for social studies we were comparing Austrolapithicus Afranis and Homo Erectus. They both have many differences and have some connections. The differences are that for Austrolapithicus we started with nothing and we didnt have any recourses. This made it harder to survive and when we tried to survive. we would end up dying really quickly of hunger. We did not have time to hunt make and create things or find resources. If we did get food we would die because we couldnt cook our food. For the Homo Erectus it was hard to survive but it was aesier then the Austrolapithicus. This was because when we got out of the cave we started in we got resources like armor, a bow and arrow, arrows, a sword, and other materials. It made it easier to hunt because now we have weapons for hunting close and far range distance. We did not starve to death as quickly because we had a furnace and coal to make fire to cook food. The simalarities were that it was still hard to dig, find resources, hunt, create a shelter, start a fire, cook, and survive.
I see lots of connections.Fo example we had tools we were able to eat animals and we could farm and grow crops.So we were able to survive.Also we had to build shelter to survive in Also we had partners but in the Neolithic age they had thousands of people and they stuck together
I am going to compare and contrast Minecraft in the Stone Age. Minecraft and the Stone Age are similar because you have no food or weapons or tools you have to find them or create them. Minecraft in the Stone Age are similar because you can starve to death or, get a disease by eating raw food, you have to cook it in the furnace. at the same time I also think they are different because your not able to be born being able to walk. They're also different because you are not able to respawn in real life and you don't have an "inventory". those are my differences and similarities from comparing and contrasting Minecraft to the Stone Age.
In my opinion Minecraft is an amassing example of prehistoric life from the hunter gatherer stile people play when they are timed to the long term agricultural setup of long term players. Steve's virtual sandbox has almost limitless potential.
Survival in early humans can be simulated in mine craft because mine craft is a game all about surviving in the wild. mine craft is all so a game that can be simulated by using a world to to survive in like a early human. Mine craft is like living in early times because it is a survival game. EJ

DeleteThe things I learned in social studies are like minecraft because your out in the wild and looking for things to survive like food, water, building materials.

In minecraft use could hunt for cows, chickens, pigs. You have to go to a place were there is water like near a mountain or a lake.

DeleteYes Mr.Dunn has lost his mind! One connection i can see between what I've learned in Social Studies and what can be simulated in Minecraft is food.

Making and providing shelter helps visualize how they built houses, and what they made them out of.

DeleteNicely Done Milan
DeleteI notice that what I've learned in social studies, and what you can simulate in minecraft, are connected in some ways. In minecraft, you are able to learn how to survive without any shops, stores or anything we have in present day. In social studies, we learn about early humans, learning different and new ways to survive. They did not have things we have today. In minecraft, you had to gather food, and gather wood and stones to build shelters to survive. These were very similar to the ways early humans lived. So minecraft can actually be a great way to show how early hominids lived and survived.
ReplyDeletePhoebe, well written response. Maybe you could have included some more specific examples about their survival.
DeleteWhat connections do I see between what I have learned in social studies and can be simulated in Minecraft are in social studies I learned that people hunted different animals. In Minecraft you hunt animals such as cows, pigs,and sheep. In Minecraft you build houses out of materials such as Cobblestone and wood. In social studies people would build houses out of whatever was around them. In social studies Mrs. Alton showed us that people eventually learned to make farms. In Minecraft you can build huge farms all you need is a hoe,dirt,and seeds. That is how I compared social studies to minecraft.
ReplyDeleteGreat connections with examples!!
DeleteI can see that in mine-craft allows you to build more things like using gold and diamond when in the early humans couldn't use that type of material at that time.Also that when you use farming it allows you to automatically grow your crops with bone-meal.In the early times they couldn't just say abracadabra and their crops be fully grown.Also in the early times they couldn't just go out and see deer everywhere they go.
ReplyDeleteGood connections!
DeleteNicely Done!
DeleteI see a lot of connections between Social Studies and minecraft. one of them is that in the early times you would try to survive. You wouldn't start out by having shelter or having food. You would have nothing to start out with. And in minecraft when you are on survival mode you start with nothing and have to build everything and get everything by yourself. Also in minecraft we are in pairs so we can help each other out, and in social studies early humans started to form communities and they would have one another's back. So in many ways both Social Studies and minecraft have connections.
ReplyDeleteGreat connections with examples!!
Deletelove the details!
DeleteThe connections that social studies and Minecraft are that they both involve looking for food, building shelters, and building weapons for protection. you also have to hunt for food by wacking cows, or sheep for food. I also think that it takes the same amount of energy and work for building shelters. Pretty much minecraft is almost the same think like living years ago.
ReplyDeleteGreat connections with examples!!
DeleteIn social studies we learned about early modern humans and how they live. I can connect this to Minecraft .Back then you had no supplies or food when you wanted. You had to sometimes wait months to kill just one animal. Also you had to build your own tools. To start, you didn't't have any food so you had to search for it on your own and in Minecraft you can hunt for animals or grow crops.Secondly, you had to build your own shelter to survive from attacks from animals and in Minecraft you can use blocks to create a shelter.Finally, you had to search for water by going to a river,lake,or stream. It was very hard living as an early modern human.
ReplyDeleteMaya, I love how you set up your response and it flowed nicely with the use of transition words. You made some great connections to social studies as well!
DeleteSocial Studies and minecraft are related in many ways. ONe way thta they are related is that you have to survive in real life cause if you don't have any food,water,shelter,and a nice inverment to live in. Now moving on to minecraft you have to do the exact same thing but the difference is that in minecraft if you die you can re spawn but in real life that wont happen .Those are the thing that are the same about minecraft and in Social Studies.
ReplyDeleteGreat connections with examples!!
DeleteI can compare Minecraft to Social Studies is when early humans needed to gather up food. So people in Minecraft need to gather up food so they can survive.
ReplyDeleteIn minecraft you spawn in and you have nothing in the neolithic days they started out with nothing.You also have to find food,make shelter,make tools,and get supplies without dying. In neolithic days you had to find food,make shelter,and get supplies without dying.This is how minecraft and neolithic days can relate.
ReplyDeleteNice John!
DeleteI learned that humans back then dint have a lot of resources and things werent just handed to them like they are to us. In minecraft we will probably have to get resources ourselves, get food ourselves, and build shelter, while having 30 other people in our server. There will probably not be enough food for everyone and some people might die. Anyways, I am excited for todays computer lab time and hope to make good progress
ReplyDeleteNida, you were able to make some accurate assumptions and connect Minecraft to social studies. Please make sure you proofread before submitting your comment.
DeleteDuring the minecraft simulation I reckon that it was hard for the early humans to learn how to do a lot of things they needed to do for survival.I say this because I didn't know anything about minecraft,and I was not excited about doing it because I had no clue on how to do most things in the game.This reminds me of the early humans .They had been trying and trying to farm . Most of the time they got nothing to grow, but eventually one person I can't think of his name ,but he is the first person to actually successfully farm a crop.He realized that overtime it was to much work to do alone and he had a lot of crops go bad because he harvested more than he could eat.He decided to share his highly intelligent ways to people in his family.Before he knew it , he had no more stress of making more than they could eat and he had enough "workers" so he had more free time to work on other things.This reminds me of myself when I did not know what to do . I felt like I wasn't going to understand the controls ,and I would be the only one not knowing how to play minecraft. I felt pressured and confused . But luckily Mr.Dunn explained the controls but he also made a "cheat sheet"That helped a lot and I wasn't worried anymore
ReplyDeleteMaka, I reckon you put a lot of thought into your post! Good job. Just make sure you proofread before submitting.
DeleteThere are many connections between what we have learned in Social Studies and what can be simulated in minecraft. Like when you are in survival mode on minecraft you have to get all of your supplies and what you need to survive in the wild. When the hominids or years past people were in the wilderness they had to make shelter, get food, and make fire so they would not die just like in minecraft!
ReplyDeleteAbby, it looks like you were able to connect Minecraft to social studies. Maybe next time you can include some more specific examples.
DeleteI think that mr dunn has gone crazy but at the same time no he hasn't. I think that it is okay to add popular games to educational learning becsuse it makes kids wanna do it. Again i think that it is okay to that because it is adding fun to a kids "boring" day in school. But at the same time i think that mr dunn has gone crazy because he never really knew how to play minecraft, he just opened himself into playing it.those are reasons why i think mr dunn has gone crazy and not.
ReplyDeletePlease make some connections to social studies.
DeleteWhat can be simulated in Minecraft? Survival. In survival mode of Minecraft you have to obtain food and make a shelter to keep mods like zombies, spiders, and skeletons out. This is how Minecraft somewhat relates to real life.
ReplyDeleteHow does Minecraft relate to what we have learned about characteristics of the prehistoic man?
DeleteThe connections that I see are that I had to build shelter like the early humans. Also I had to hunt for food, and then I had to cook it. Lastly I had to where everything was, and I had to be aware of predators. I needed to have a sense of community.
ReplyDeleteThe connections i see between what i learned in social studies is that the early humans had to learn how to walk and other things that will make them resourceful.You can simulate a tutorial on what controls help you walk or dig up blocks.
ReplyDeleteCan you make any more social studies connections?
DeleteSOme conections I have made with Minecraft and The early humans is that on survial mode you can simulate how it was like back then and how it is now.
ReplyDeleteEmily, you are not providing any specific examples or connections. I would like to see more effort put into your posts!
DeleteThe connections between what I have learned in Social Studies that can be simulated in Minecraft are when you "spawn" into a open world where their are "biomes", biomes are what type of climate the area is in like a snow biome, or a plains biome, and a desert biome. Their are some biomes, another thying that can be simulated in Minecraft is how you have to make tools, hunt for food, and try to build shelter in order to survive. These are some ways why the things I've learned in Social Studies can be simulated in Minecraft.
ReplyDeleteThe connections I saw was that in Minecraft, you have to hunt and gather items. In social studies (yes you have lost your mind, Mr. Dunn), the hominids and ape men gathered stuff and hunted
ReplyDeleteMinecraft compared to SS is almost exact. One thing is that you a fresh start like the neolithic age. Another thing is you have to have food and shelter just to survive. I think minecraft is the best to learn about the old stone age and the new stone age - Eddy A
ReplyDeleteIn social studies, we have learned about how humans dealt with living in the different eras of time. They didn't have phones, or heat, air conditioning, shopping markets, and more like we do today. In mine craft, you don't have that privilege either.In mine craft you have to make everything.You can collect wood, tame animals (wolves,cats,horses),make boats, and so much more! Mine craft, different time periods, and modern day are very different with different privileges.
ReplyDeleteSo far we have learned about the conditions the early humans and homeneds had to live in and deal with.Also will we get to build and hunt like early humans or not?
ReplyDeleteI can relate to early day humans because sometimes stuck without food.
ReplyDeleteThe connections between what i have learned in Social Studies is that can be simulated in Minecraft are when you have to make shelter like in the early humans.You also have to watch what is around you and be aware also like the early human.That are some connections of what i learned in Social Studies that can be simulated in Minecraft.
ReplyDeleteEmily.l
ReplyDeletethe connections between mind craft and early humans is that in mind craft and early humans they both have to survive by them self's.
also they both have to communicate with grunts.
another thing is that they have to eat or they will starve to death.
One of the connections that I can see between what we've learned in social studies and simulating in Minecraft is like the humans of long ago, you need to build a shelter to survive. You can get water (although it is not needed in MineCraft) from the natural water sources like long ago. Also in MineCraft, you can attack other people's villages, if you are bothered enough to build a whole village. Another thing, is when people built said villages, they had to gather all of their materials, like you do in MineCraft.
ReplyDeleteGreat job making connections to social studies Emma!
DeleteThe connections with mine craft and social studies you have to survive in different ways.This connects with early hominids and how they survived and how they could had survived.In mine craft it helps you figure out what problems and challenges they may had faced.
ReplyDeleteIn minecraft you have to survive in the wild.You have to find your own food make your own weapons to survive.You have to make a house or find a house for protection and when it rains and stuff. That is how minecraft is like the early hominids
ReplyDeleteBecause yo have to start in the begaining. You have to gather things. Alose you have to build things from scrach.
ReplyDeleteDonald
I think that the Minecraft simulation will help me learn more about early hominids, which we have been learning about in social studies. For example, in Minecraft, you have to build shelter and find food, which early hominids had to do. Also, We had to stay in partners and not abandon anyone, which was also how it was before. Early hominids would travel in groups to survive. Finally, Minecraft will be as if you were actually living in early hominid time. Nichole V
ReplyDeleteNichole, I'm glad that you are seeing connections between Minecraft and social studies!
DeleteIn minecraft, you are spawned in to the world with no food, or tools. Early humans had to develop later on to begin crafting tools. In both worlds, you would have to chop down trees to craft tools. Then you can begin hunting for food. As you go on, you can upgrade your tools to worker more but less harder. You can begin farming in an area. When you craft more resources, you have more possibilities. You can upgrade your home so that you can be safe from monsters, like early humans, they had to defend themselves from enemies or dangerous creatures.
ReplyDeleteAlex, nicely done! I love the specific examples you provided.
DeleteThe to are the same because you have to hunt, gather, and create farms. you start with nothing like they did before.
ReplyDeletethis is new and interesting even thought i dont like this game i am interested i also like how we can make connections with mine craft and socalstudies even though its just a game but you do use tools and weapons like early humans such as axes swords and animals like horses this will most likely be a good project i like it .
ReplyDeletethe same at cut down trees or use rock to make surfer to use to survive . Walk , jump and swim you can hunt.
ReplyDeleteA good start Vy. Needs to be a paragraph. Please write more.
DeleteI think that mine-craft is like the Neolithic age because in the Neolithic age was survival and like mine-craft when you go on it is survival mode and you have to use tools and weapons and build houses.Just like the Neolithic age.On mine-Craft you learn new things about survival and what basic tools to use and how to use them.Just like the Neolithic age all the people learned how to do new things and methods and ways that Neolithic people were taught.i think learning this new mine-craft will teach me a lot of things i don't know about the Neolithic age
ReplyDeleteNicely Done Maya!! Like your connections.
DeleteThis is how I think minecraft is related to the early humans. You have to make tools and hunt animals to survive. You have to cut down trees and use your surroundings to build permanent shelter. You can trade with villagers just like they did. You can also make farms and domesticate animals. You have to gather items to trade. You also have to chop down wood and mine stone to make tools. Those are some reasons why I think minecraft is related to the early humans.
ReplyDeleteNicely Done Christopher! Good connections to Social Studies!
DeleteI think mine craft relates to the neolithic age because at first you have nothing.Then you have to get wood to build like neolithic age.And get food by domesticating animals. That is why i think mine craft relates to the neolithic age.
ReplyDeleteMInecraft and early hominids are alike because...
ReplyDeleteIn MInecraft you have to survive just like they did before
You can farm and breed animals and also you can tame wolves cats and ride mules and horses. Also you can use them for carrying supplies and transportation.
There are many crops such as wheat carrots potatoes and root beets.
In the textbooks you are not able to control what that person does. In Mine craft you are. The reason I like mine craft is because i can experience what I'm doing. I feel like i live in that time. Of course I didn't know how to work it. It was really hard. But I like this source better than the textbooks. I'm more into acting. So this video game is much more useful than the textbooks. Of course that's my opinion. The textbooks are just full of pictures. Mine craft makes you feel like your there. The textbooks are useful just i like to have fun with it. But to all the other teachers who are reading this post, I would suggest that you use a simulator like this.
ReplyDeleteRelate your experience to Social Studies. How does the character in Minecraft experience some of the same experiences as Prehistoric man.
DeleteWe can make a connection with Mine craft and what I have learned in social studies because in MC you have to have resources and be smart about what you do. In the Neolithic time, you would have to gather hunt and most of all use agriculture. This helps us/me understand that the two subjects have similarities between these two things. This also helps me understand that in real life, you can't just use blocks to make everything. There is lots of different things to explore in mine craft, but we can really focus on thinking on how this will help us with the New Stone Age.
ReplyDeleteNice Lily!!
DeleteI like Mine-craft so it was cool to do this. These are related because you have to make everything, just like the early hominids. You use tools like the ax, stove, and swords. You also farm and you can grow crops.
ReplyDeleteGood start! Try to expand on the details of prehistoric man in the future.
DeleteThey are the same because they both have to do with farming, tools, food, and also shelter.In mine-craft we would also have to stay with our partners.The early hominids had to stay together in groups.They would help each other.
ReplyDeleteThe Neolithic Age and the game Mine craft may seem comepletily different ,but they actually have a lot in common. First in Mine craft you have to kill or collect your own food. In neolithic Age They had to grow and collect their own food.They also might have to kill a deer for protein. Next in Mine craft their are creepers and zombies.I'm not saying this is what they had to survive against ,but a creeper could represent a coyote. Lastly it mine craft You have to build your own homes out of materials you find. In Neolithic Age they had to build homes out of stone mud and clay.These are all materials they found.There are a few more examples but these are just a couple. Now you know how hard it was to live in the Neolithic Age.
ReplyDeleteIn day two of minecraft for social studies we were comparing Austrolapithicus Afranis and Homo Erectus. They both have many differences and have some connections. The differences are that for Austrolapithicus we started with nothing and we didnt have any recourses. This made it harder to survive and when we tried to survive. we would end up dying really quickly of hunger. We did not have time to hunt make and create things or find resources. If we did get food we would die because we couldnt cook our food. For the Homo Erectus it was hard to survive but it was aesier then the Austrolapithicus. This was because when we got out of the cave we started in we got resources like armor, a bow and arrow, arrows, a sword, and other materials. It made it easier to hunt because now we have weapons for hunting close and far range distance. We did not starve to death as quickly because we had a furnace and coal to make fire to cook food. The simalarities were that it was still hard to dig, find resources, hunt, create a shelter, start a fire, cook, and survive.
ReplyDeleteI see lots of connections.Fo example we had tools we were able to eat animals and we could farm and grow crops.So we were able to survive.Also we had to build shelter to survive in Also we had partners but in the Neolithic age they had thousands of people and they stuck together
ReplyDeleteI am going to compare and contrast Minecraft in the Stone Age. Minecraft and the Stone Age are similar because you have no food or weapons or tools you have to find them or create them. Minecraft in the Stone Age are similar because you can starve to death or, get a disease by eating raw food, you have to cook it in the furnace. at the same time I also think they are different because your not able to be born being able to walk. They're also different because you are not able to respawn in real life and you don't have an "inventory". those are my differences and similarities from comparing and contrasting Minecraft to the Stone Age.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Minecraft is an amassing example of prehistoric life from the hunter gatherer stile people play when they are timed to the long term agricultural setup of long term players. Steve's virtual sandbox has almost limitless potential.
ReplyDeleteday 1 the way minecraft is like the early homidids like because the both have to hunt for food like the homodiods.
ReplyDeleteI see minecraft and social studies are alike because in survival mode you have to hunt for food and find materials to make tools to help you survive.
