NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND



**** none of this blog post should be taken seriously, the following comments reflect the thoughts of a hormonal teenager, please excuse the following****









This activity based on the Handmaids tale immediately appealed to me as the door read "Loud activity." Once explained the game  that resembled my favorite game mafia, I was extremely excited to play. Unfortunately due to not being the most popular with my class mates I was killed the first partition round... So I'm extremely unsure what to write about. I was told I could write about
-Alliances
-Rules of the game
- a reflection of the game
- comparison of the game and the themes
but I'm not.
 Granted I am taking the change of not receiving credit for this blog but I'm JUST "DGAF, SKA, $pring Break"  enough to post a risky blog post.
So here is the truth about this game. This game was well thought out and just complicated enough that I'm not exactly sure how it worked. I was kicked out just soon enough that I never learned how it worked. I can say with all confidence that it was very amusing to kill me, and the class would agree. River, the initial instigator of my demise, later told me I was persecuted for sheer amusement. I respect this. Killing people for a grade in English sounds like a blast... but not at the expense of another persons grade. This is where I become.... spiteful. WHY ME?! Okay its really not that big of a deal, but initially you feel that burn, the pain, the automatic hatred for the peers that ripped your project grade away from you. So I move for reform! REFORM OF THE HANDMAID GAME SO THAT NO CHILD IS LEFT BEHIND, as I was.
I WARN others, this game is violent, unpredictable, and cruel. I hear in another class that Gabby was slapped repeatedly for misconduct! Not to mention by the end of the day over 20 seniors had been persecuted! Although the game is advertised as "good educational fun" it is clear that the game is more destructive than productive. It is my regret to inform future children of this English class that unless something changes you too will be persecuted.
