Explanation / Brief History: This town started with only a farm and a house sheltering a family of five, then came Jethro Tull’s new invention. The seed drill made the family of five very rich and hired workers to work on their ever growing farm. The town was now more populated than ever due to the amount of workers working for the family. The rich family built a factory, a school and some houses to attract settlers looking for a place to live. The town was now the richest town in England.

Media Fluency Reflection

A. How was the ease of access in building the town, and what software did you use specifically? \

Fortnite has a lot of features that made it easy to build the town. There were many options in the game but not much space to build in.

B. Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment?

I put some of the inventions in the town and tried to make it as accurate as possible.

C. What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” town? I did not do any research online.

I just used the information that I had from socials class.

D. Is there other software online that could have done the job better? Explain.

It depends if you want simplicity or creativity, Rollforfantasy.com is the best if you want simplicity and minecraft for creativity. Fortnite is a good mix of both.
