Personal Narrative: My Role In Colonial Times

Since this was not my first time taking your class I was no stranger to the game. But this time it was a little different. The last game we had to pass laws to prevent the colonist from taking control over the colonies from the British. But this time around we had to decide on what we wanted to put attention to first.

Also, there needs to be a way where people can fill like they are doing something that matters every time they play the game. Because some day’s people would just come in there and sit down and not pay any attention. I think the time on the game was worth it because I did learn a couple of things regarding that time.
