Online Games

The next few weeks before Chinese New Year vacation, we are going to be trying out a bunch of games.  If you can “escape” from Riddle School (see the game below) then you can play other games on the links I’ve provided below.  Try as many different games as you can.  I want you to try lots of games because in the first week back from vacation, we are going to write a “game review” – an article where you discuss the good and bad points about one of the games you played.

Attraction 1: Sunny Hualien – A Great Destination in Eastern Taiwan

 I love Hualien.  Actually, I’ve only been there once, but it was a really enjoyable trip. One of my favorite memories was renting a scooter and riding down the highway with my wife checking out some of the cool tourist attractions.  This picture just brought me back to that trip.  The billboards are often political, and this one is especially interesting b/c the politicians appear to be aboriginal.  That’s another thing about Hualien – it’s a great place to experience the indigenous culture!  I’ve borrowed this picture from Kerim’s photostream on Flickr as a way of demonstrating to my students how to give attribution, especially when no indication is given by the creator how he/she would like it to be given.  Thanks to Kerim on Flickr!

 Here’s my schedule/itinerary:
