Journal #1
We built a table, three chairs, and a newspaper with a plate. We had trouble controlling the joystick and kept losing the things we made and ourselves. We also had a little trouble trying to click on things and scrolling down.

We are going to build a maze made out of walls of corn and with a Lord of the Rings Theme. In dead ends, there will be ringwraithes, except for in the first dead end, there will be an image of an elf telling you to turn back. If you do keep going, you will encounter more ringwrathes but if you do turn back and take the other turn, you will get to the finish point. The finishing point is in the center of the maize where the ring is and a congratulation sign.

The pictures of everything will probably be drawn by us except the walls will be pictures of corn from a photograph.

The next time we go to the Cave, we will try to put up some of the walls. We will of course, need a picture of some corn. Lillian will bring the corn and Sophia will bring the pictures of the elf and ringwrathes and Yesol will bring the ring.

Journal #2
We deleted the maze walls from last week. We wanted to try and make a maze but attaching the walls together to make the turns or just a simple wall took too much time and effort to finish by the deadline. This week, we made a plain (green) with a campsite on it. We also built a yellow tent made by 2 simple triangles and 2 squares attached together. We made a pond, which was blue and was in the shape of a rough circle. We also made a campfire: we made red and orange triangles and arranged them to look like a fire, then we copied the fire and added that to it so it would look more realistic. Next week, we will make a tree, bird, and maybe some plants and animals in the pond. We think that the CAVE people should have audio in the CAVE so you can record things.

Journal #3
Last week we made flowers, a tree, and some stuff in the pond. We set up a camp ground, we also added a picnic area with sandwiches, lemonade box, and a napkin. Although we thought the CAVE was cool, it needs some more improvements on audio system, and easier controls. Also it would be nicer if we had more choice of patterns or pictures. We feel sorry that we have only a week left. If the time was given more, we could have made our world better and more interesting. We think the program should expand to a year instead of a semester.
