  5. When i got to be the leader of the builders I was very excited because I love to build and designing things. In my opinion building is very important. Without us people would have to build their own houses or they wouldn't have houses at all. Our buildings will be important to society because people will have nice homes to live in and to practice religion in.

  6. When I volunteered to be the captain of the miners, I was happy because I got the coolest job in the civilization and, I like to smack cubes. This job will contribute to the city since you basically need coal to cook and metals and ore to make tools. The challenges that my team may face is falling down the big hole and die. Another challenge could be the fact that we will have to go pretty far down and could hit the border then I would fall off the world.

  7. My initial thoughts about this role was that it was going to be easy BUT I WAS WRONG! People are just spamming me food even though its the first day! Our job will contribute to society because we make all the tools for all the other jobs. We make sure that theres cooked food instead of raw.

  8. My job was a crafter and I thought it would be easy but it wasn’t. We had the most important job so I got nervous about the people giving the request.The biggest challenges would be like doing the crafting for everyone because the people that need it right away will want it when there is other people that needs something too. Those are the biggest challenges that we my face.

  9. when i first got picked for the rancher position I was really exited,I love animals even though in this job you have to kill them.If you kill the animals you still have to breed them so there are more to feed off of.In this role you have to breed animals kill them and make sure you have enough food for your whole society to eat.Being a rancher is one of the big positions you have to make sure you feed,kill,and breed the animals so your society can eat it,if not there's still farmers but they cant feed a whole society on there own.While your a rancher there are still challenges such as not enough food to feed the animal,and people not doing there part.Those are some things about the rancher position.

  10. I'm a farmer. I am so excited to feed everyone in the civilization. I will contribute to society by growing carrots and potatos. It will get hard but I will try my best to help the society get better.

  11. My initial thought about this role of being a rancher is it is a simple but important job. How it contributes to society is the other people in you civilization need food for survival and material for clothing or armor. Having each job many challenges will occur one challenge each job might cross is material shortage. The crafters are the ones who give out the materials for everyone to continue the civilization but if each job doesn't supply, materials will run very low or there would be no supplies at all. One challenge I think just the ranchers will occur is low food for both us an the animals. If the animals have no food to eat, they'll die and there would be no meat or material.
    Those are my initial thoughts about my role and how it'll contribute to society, and the challenges I might face.

  12. My initial thoughts on my role as a farmer is that i kind of like being a farmer and it takes a lot of patience. I think that being a farmer will contribute to our community because we bring in food and other crops for resources and food. Being a farmer will also contribute to our community by getting vegetables and other foods so people wont starve. i think that we will face a challenge of not getting in food i to the storage unit or the crafts people.

  14. In Minecraft edu I think the challenges we will be facing as a rancher will be trying to splitting up the fences into fives. We also have to figure out what animal goes into each fence. Next is feeding the animals we have to find supplies to figure out what to feed them. Even know we have to survive to , well need to kill the animals for our city. Finally is for us to survive , well need to come up with a plan for us to all survive.

  15. My job is to mine.I think it is pretty easy,but hard in some ways.I will help by getting stone for the builders,and other materials for tools and other things for the crafts people.But there many challenges to getting these materials.Like,when there is a hole and I fall in and get hurt.I would also need a source of light to see where are I am going.That is some challenges that I might face.

    ReplyDelete
  16. My roll is to mine. This is very important for the society because when we mine we get stone, coal, iron,and dimond. Those are all good for building wepons to kill animals for food, tools for lumbering, shovles to dig to grow crops, and even for my group to mine. I think that some of the challenges that I am going to face are that when I am mineing that I don't fall into a ravean. If I do then the only way to get back up is to die and it's really easy to fall in one because it's like they appear out of no where.

  17. My role in the project was to be the farmer leader.Our job as the farmer team is to make sure that the grown crops go to the crafters so they can make food for the town.Without the farmers many people could starve and die.Some challenges we may face is if we get hungry on the job,we may have to eat the crops.That is how I think our job is important to the society.

  18. I think learning about civilizations in Mincraft is, a fun way of learning. Evan do I did not get the job I wanted every job does a good role, in this civilization. Ceaftman is a pretty difficlt job because every one is asking for food, or diffrent things every one need. I think this is a pretty good way to learn in very fun ways.

  19. MY JOB FOR OUR CIVILIZATION IS A LUMBERJACK BECUASE I THOUGHT IT WAS A VERY EASY JOB AND IT WAS VERY EASY. MY THOUGHTS ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THIS JOB IS AMAZING BECAUSE LUMBERING WILL HELP THEM BUILD LOTS OF ROOM AND USE IT FOR MORE THINGS. LUMBERING IS A GREAT WAY TO HELP MY CIVILZATION TO GROW AND DEVELOP.THE CHALLAGES THAT I WILL FACE IS PROBLEY STARVING BECUASE THE CRAFTSMEN DIDNT MAKE FOOD FOR US PEOPLE AND I ALMOST DIED TO DAY,THAT IS MY OPINION ABOUT HOW LUMBERING HELPS THE CIVIATION !!

  20. The challanges I will face is running out of materials.I think people will fight over the want t ok build.My role Is important because people will have to live in houses.

  21. I think it was hard.you had to wait for supplies. It still was hard to mine because we needed torches, food, and furnaces and so many other things.it was hard trying to not take damage and try not to fall inside lava.Being a miner is hard but hopefully it will be better in the next lesson.Living in the city stateso was hard but you'll get the hang of it.

  22. This is my paragraph about the job I was assigned In MinecraftEDU. I was assigned a farmer in our classroom " civilization ". in my group of farmers ( Mia , Magenta and me ) we have to provide food to our " civilization". I think we provide a lot for our " civilization ". We help everyone survive so they don't starve to death. In my opinion I think our job is rather easy. The only challenge my group faces is the crops don't grow fast enough. Luckily the crafters provide bonemeal. The only hard part is splitting the two stacks of bonemeal for five rows of twenty crops. Those are the only challenges we the farmers face. That is what I think about my job assigned in MinecraftEDU.

  23. I was assigned a job as a builder, i would have to lay out the designs for buildings in our civilization. Some of the challenges i think we will face thing throughout are project like, we may run out of things to build with and we won't be able to provide and support are civilization.The area we have to build on is not good enough to expand and build more. My job will contribute to the society by giving the people things to do in the civilization and places to live in the town. I honestly think the job i have is the hardest but i like it it will provide for everyone and i can add designs and thought and opinions on what were doing.

  24. Well I think I will face eating enough food because their is a whole civilization to feed.Also running into animals like wolf's or creature like zombies and creepers would be bad.

  25. My initial thoughts on the role of lumberjack is that it will be a very easy role.I also think the role will contribute to the overall society because the wood will be used to make other things.The challenges I think I would face would be running out of trees or having no more axes to break the trees.

  26. Every job we had was vital to our survival as a civilization but, today I will be talking about my thoughts of my job only. Now many challenges will be faced since, I am a farmer. An example of one the challenges that will be faced would definitely food shortages since farming does take time. Another challenge I think will be faced would be not getting enough seeds to plant crops because, the amount of food or seeds you get when you harvest foods are at random. That would also be a cause for food shortages which will cause everyone to starve and, once people start losing to much hunger, the whole civilization will fall apart. My role will have a great purpose in survival because, it serves a huge part of what we need to live and, without it everything would be a mess. This is my thoughts of my role in this civilization and, the challenges we might overcome.

  27. When I got the part of leader in miners, I thought that it wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was fairly hard. The one thing that was fairly easy is that when I had to mine, and one of the hardest problems that most people had made was that they might or might not fall. I think that the challenges that the group will face is when someone needs to get out of a cave or ravine. Another problem that they might face is when a group member will need food and they're low on hunger and has to walk to find food.
    My overall thoughts on the group and how it will contribute to society is that we will have enough coal and other ores for the crafters to make other useful items.

  28. I think we will face some challenges while surviving as a group. One challenge we could face is running out of certain materials that we need such as things for making tools. Another problem we could face is that the farmers and ranchers don't have enough crops and animals to feed everyone. If one of these problems happen, we will have to find a way to survive.

  29. When I got picked for miners, my initial thoughts about how this role and how it will help the society by producing energy, using coal for medicine, soap ,plastics etc. This really got my attention because I like how miners find rocks and cool minerals. They use these to make items that help the society for peoples well being. I think the challenges that we will go through will be trying to mine in the dark. Also, trying to make sure the equipment works properly.

  30. Today I was privileged to become a miner. This job is very interesting and very important. My job will help with cooking food by using coal that we gather, making armor, as well as stronger tools for everyone's important jobs. My job also can become very dangerous and hard. We will face many difficulties with the chance of falling lava or suffocating from gravel. We also face the chance of being lost or falling from high spots. However, although dangerous and hard I still love this job and I'm happy I was chosen for it.

  31. The role I was given will benefit my civilization because without wood you couldn't build weapons or build a fire. Challenges I think I will face is not having enough wood. This is a challenge because I might run out of wood and the other trees might still be growing so they might not be big enough to be useful. Other reasons my job is very important is because with out weapons you can't hunt and get food. Without fire you can't cook your food. When you don't cook you food it is raw. When it is raw it can be very possines and when you are posined you get sick and when you get sick you die. You might die because back in the day there was no medicine for you to get better. That is why my job is important and that is some challenges I think I will face other than starvation.

  32. I was excited to be a lumberjack because I can help my civilization. My hard work will provide wood for housing construction and fire making. I may face some challenges like running out of wood or getting injured. But overall, I think my contributions will greatly benefit society.

  33. I think my jobs important because without wood you can't make weapons or fire. Other reasons my jobs important is because with out weapons you can't hunt and when you can't hunt you can't have food. Some challenges I might face is runing out of wood. We might have some little trees that are still growing but if we use all of those we might run out completely. Other reasons my job is important is because without wood you cant have fire. Without fire you can't cook your food. When you don't cook your food it is raw. When it is raw it can be possines. When it's possines you can get sick and when it is sick you may die because back in the day there was no medicine so you can feel better. That is why my job is important and what challenges I fear.

  34. When I was selected to be an lumberjack I was excited not only because the job was easy it was because my team look the best. Lumberjacks help the society a lot not even though the lumberjacks aren't as important as the farmers and builders. the lumberjacks help get wood and apples. the apples help a lot because the apples are feed to the animals in the ranch. The big challenge the lumberjacks are going to face are finding apples overall today we only found three apples which isn't a lot to feed the animals.

  35. I think my job is important because without wood you can't make tools or make a fire. Other reasons s my job is important is because if you don't make tools you can't hunt and when you can't hunt you can't eat.a challenge I am afraid of is runing out of food because hunting isn't so easy because the animals can attack you or run away. Anonther challenge I am afraid of is running out of wood because if you don't have wood you cant make fire or tools. Some other reasons my job is important is because without wood you can't make fire. Without fire you can't cook your food. When your food isn't cooked it is raw. When it is raw it is possines. When it is possines you can get very sick and when you get sick you might die. You might die because back in the day there was no medicine for you to feel better. That is why my job is important and those where some challenge that might happen.

  36. I was super exicited when I found out I was ranching because it’ll be fun trying something new, as well as trying to survive Ranching is a gigantic part of a civilization. If you don’t have the animals you won’t have the supplies to live. The animals give us many materials. The materials the animals give us will help us survive. One of the biggest problems my group is facing is lack of team work. My group barely talks to each other, therefore no one knows what they’re doing. Another problem is my group is really competitive even though we are working as a group. This week my main goal is to do my job and survive, how hard can it be?

  37. Before starting on this job my initial thought was that we would face many challenges. Some of those challenges could be getting stuck at a bottom of the pit you were digging, or dying from being in lava or water to long cause we were digging to deep. Another thing to mention is also that what I do as my job contributes to the overall society because it provides cole, minerals, and other rocks so that the creators and the builders can build and create materials for the community.

  39. One challange me and my group faced was that the Craftspeople didn't make enough bone meal. Another challenge me and my group faced was that we kept taking the wrong seed so we would not on purposely do it but we planted the wrong seed and then we had to start over. Last but not least, the last challenge me and my group faced was that we kept having to go back to the Building area and that would that would take up a lot of our time. Here are three challenges that me and my group had to face as Farmers.

  40. I think my job will be good for our civilization because people can live the houses.The challenges that I will face is people might fight over what they will build.we might run out of building materials.

  41. Today I was given the job to build a civilization in Minecraft, while other people had to gather materials for us to build. The ranchers and the farmers job is to supply us with food. They had to make sure everybody was fed, and the crafters had to craft things for people. I will contribute to society by building things. I will build houses for people to live in. It will be a challenge to come up with ideas for designs for the things we're building.

  42. When I was picked to be a farmer, at first I was like why was I picked to be a farmer? Out of all the jobs a farmer! I was not good at farming. I was really good at building. Once I was taught how to farm, it was really easy to do it. How this will contribute to the society is that farming is important because we can not survive without food. Also, farming is really important because without any type of food, none of us would be here today.

  43. I will contribute really good because i know how to craft but not rwally good.the challenge i will face is crafting so many things at once

  49. I think my society will affect the whole society because being a rancher i can provide food/leather/wool for armor and shelter for the whole society. The challenges i will face are hunger and energy, because it's pretty hard to run to the "market" without hunger and energy.

  50. I will contribute to the community by killing animals, but leaving two, the most important thing we need is wheat, to breed cows and sheep, we will donate our food to the food chest in the craftmens area so that the crafters can cook it.

  53. We all have to work together to get materials so the builders can have wood,dirt and more. farmers need to crop stuff so the workers have food if we dont have food we would die.

  60. When I was selected to be a crafter, I thought that this would be an easy job, but when my captain, Kendall, read the instructions, I was surprised that this is the most difficult job, and possible the most boring-est jobs, but I thought I could do this. The problems that might occur as a crafter are the resources, we can run out quickly, especially wood, wood is the most essential material because it is used for almost everything.

  64. The reason why I think that mining is easiest job is because you can mine diamonds and coal easily if you have the right materials. I will contribute to overall society because you need to have food and a lot of materials to survive. I am contributing by working with my teammates very well. Then when it comes to mining it is hard to try not to fall in the mine all the way down.

  65. I think my job it hard . My job is a rancher it is hard to train animals.

  66. This role made me think at first it would be easy I was wrong and right. An easy thing about being a lumberjack is the job is simple so my team can do it easy. If we get hungry we can sneak in an apple that we get.One bad thing is there is a ravine next to the forest so we might fall in.So I think it is still easy but not as easy.
