I would give myself a 2 because I am generally pleasant with my peers but I know that lately I haven't been able to get my work done in time. I would give my partner a 4 because he does his work but i would give him a 1 for attitude because his is very bad. He needs to stop being so aggressive and be more polite towards others.

Blog # 1.7 a

At the entrance on the top right hand side of the game board will be a gate made out of division signs.The top middle part more to the left will be a semi- circle for the deck of cards . Next to it will be a rectangle for the word bank. in the middle there will be a twisting stone road made out of an elongated plus sign. the kingdom will be made out of math signs .There will be a small box on the bottom right side for the dice. I like this idea but i feel it needs more depth in design and thought to it .

Blog # 1.6- process journal # 2

I have started to plan out the design of my game board which I described in blog 1.7 a. i would give myself a 4 for self evaluation and a 4 for design and design specification. one blog is about the game board design and the other tells the game card design.
