Game Standards::

3.2:: Students formulate solutions through economic problems.
-Right now I am on level 13 and I am stuck. I have no more land left to build more buildings. Right now, I need more buildings because I need items to hire janitors and rental agents. At the time, I need six janitors and two rental agents. My solution to this is to keep making money off of the contracts/buildings I have now, and to buy more land. With that, I can build more of the needed buildings in order to purchase items to hire janitors and rental agents.

3.1:: Students explain how different economic systems are organized for production, distributions, and consumptions of goods and services.
-I have mostly made a lot of apartments and other homes for this game. This is good because people need a place to live. With that, I get paid for the rental money which I can use to purchase more homes and/or other businesses. I have also purchased a lot of windmills. Windmills take energy and basically turns it into money. Again, with that money I can produce more. I just bought more land which will allow me to produce more buildings. With these buildings, people will purchase the products which give me more items. The cycle goes on.

3.4:: Students demonstrate an understanding of economic principles that influence individual financial planning.
- There are certain task that you have to accomplish in order to get farther in the game. Being the game rebel that I am, I choose to go the way I thought would be most beneficial. It isn't working out so far right now. I built a bunch of apartments/homes to gain specific items and as a faster way to gain little amounts of money more often. Because I did this so much, I forgot to accomplish the more important tasks. The downside to that is I am now behind because I have a group of people I need to hire. With this, I need to come up with a more organized plan in order to get what I need. My plan is too categorize the things I need and spend only so much. Money is not really a big concern for me right now.


4.3::Students evaluate the impact of technology and how it has shaped history and influence in modern world.
-It is important to update all of the buildings. If this is done, then more money/experience points will be made. I have windmills, a lot of windmills. Windmills provide me energy which gives me more money. Other technology could be my corporate centers. These bring a lot of money into my city and technology is used inside those buildings because it is a business center.

4.2::Students analyze current event to better understand the world in which they live.
-I always keep track of the new ventures because it helps me create a better city. If it wasn't for the new ventures, I would probably just purchase random buildings that may not even help down the road. Having friends helps because they help me by telling me what could be improved. The mystery gifts helped me because it gave me extra money. The money can be used to update buildings, buy more plants/parks, and so on.

4.4::Students explain how past events impact the present and the future.
::In the beginning, I bought a lot of random things that I didn't really need at the time. This affects me now because now I actually need other buildings in order to build up and have more things. It also helps me because now because after time, the money all adds up and helps me out. With that money, I could buy land.

5.1::Students incorporate charts, maps and graphs, to answer questions dealing with people, places, events, or environment.
-Charts on this game that help with people are the charts with the items needed in order to hire them. The chart/tabs on the left side of the screen helps me accomplish tasks I need to gain more points in the game. The charts/tabs on the top of the screen helps me keep track of the money I'm making and game points I am making. This is helpful because then I can determine if I have enough money to buy certain products. Also, with the game points, they help me keep track of when I will get a level up. That is good to keep track of because then I will know when I will get new items.

5.3::Students demonstrate an ability to organize and process information about people, places, and environment.
-I put all my three-story and two-flat houses in one area. I also put all my small office buildings together in another area. The reason for this is because it makes it easier for people in the game to find where they need to go. Also, it helps me when I need to update things. If most of my buildings are organized, then it helps me update stuff faster. My windmills are the only thing not organized. I believe this is actually helpful because it saves me land. When I purchase building, sometimes you have to put them in areas that leave small random spots. With those spots, I put in more windmills.
