Learning Challenge - Benefits of Reading

-

 For this weeks extras task I chose to do a heart task on "How reading rewires your brain for higher intelligence and empathy" .


                                                                                    Reading 

                                                                        

The article talks about how reading has many benefits for your brain and how it improves your emotions towards different things.

One thing that the article confimred for me that I knew to be already true was that reading makes you more intelligent in terms of making better decisions about yourself and the people around.

One new thing that I learned from the article that I did not know before was that "when you read soap and lavender , the parts of your brain implicated in scent are activated".

One new thing that I'm curious to explore is how I can get the benefits from reading, I plan to act on this by following the advice given in the article and by doing researching on the benefits  of reading.

The game is based on The Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man, its available on PlayStation 4 and 5.  Its my favorite game because its really interactive and the game has a lot detail which  brings the comic to life. I also like the game because it has my favorite fights and characters and it makes me reminisce about the times when I watched the tv show and when I read the comics.

Game Brainstorm

  My first game idea is a simple idea, it’s to make a game where you would have to throw rubbish in a recycling bin, and it would have instructions saying what can and can’t enter the bin and it won’t have a time limit. The objects would be thrown diagonally and horizontally and to get them in the bin you would have the swipe them towards the bin. There won’t be lives but if you get the wrong object in the bin your score will reset. Or there could be levels, and you would have to reach a certain number of points to get to the next level and the point count would go higher after each level you complete. There would be something like milestone achievements, for example you could get ten points then you would get a text come down from the top of the screen saying something like “well done you gotten piece of trash in the bin”.   And as you progress throughout the game it will get harder, for example if you have more than 10 points or you’re on level 5 the objects would st...
