During this process we have watched some videos and played some games to learn more about Critical Literacy. This is one of the games.Critical Literacy Game.

• Being loyal
• Finish the work and not letting your team down.
• If you go to school then you should be on time, not late and listen to your teacher
• It sounds like saying nice words or something like we can do it next time or we're nearly done.

• Persuade someone to commit to a team and not change every year.

Made Up Story

One day I was playing a video game called Black Ops 3, as I was playing I heard someone knock on the door. I was confused but I opened it anyway, it was three NRL players. I was so excited to see them, their names were Gideon Gela Mosby, Josh Addo Carr and Kalyn Ponga. I asked them to come in, I then asked them what they wanted. Josh said to me “ We need you to come with us”. I said to him “Why”. Josh said “ It’s a surprise”. I said “ Ok”. So we all hopped into Kalyn’s Lambo. They were driving as fast as a cheetah sprinting for its prey. Finally we stopped outside Lesley Park and I saw Robbie standing in the middle of the field.

They told me to follow them over to Robbie. When we got to Robbie he pulled out a gun, first we were scared but then I realised that I had a Uzi inside my Jacket. He said I want your money, I pretended to pull out my wallet and pulled out the Uzi. I started spraying the bullets at him and he fell on the ground, the cops came and I got arrested. I was asleep in my cell when Robbie Jumped onto the cage like a monkey. He said that if he bailed me out I would owe him $2.59 cents.

I agreed so he bailed me out and took me to my house to get the money but when I went to get the money I found out that I only had $2.58 cents. I told him but he was angry so he ran out to his car and grabbed his AK47, I grabbed my Golden Scar and started shooting, we both missed each other and then I ran to the back room where he couldn’t see me, I jumped out the window and sprinted to Mega Air.

I payed for it with my mum’s money and then started jumping on the tramps. I found a mini tramp and jumped on it and went to land on the pad, I landed on the pad but I couldn’t finish the flip. I had fallen on my neck, at that moment I knew that I had broken my neck and my arm.

When I got to the hospital they put me onto a bed and left me there, It took for ages until I finally got to leave the hospital. I walked out of the hospital and then I see Robbie in front of me, he walked over to me and said “ I will drive you home so that we can play Black Ops 3 together”.
