== Activity log==

Each student will have to create his or her own world (Start from scratch). They would play Minecraft as they usually play it but they have to keep in mind what they are doing because in the morning of each new day, the students will have to write down and log everything they did that day. They will do this for 15 or 20 days or however long we want the assignment to drag out.


 * Each grade level will receive a list of vocabulary words that the students will have to imply into their logs


 * After the students are done with their logs they will have to make a procedure chart (See image below), that later after completion would be paired up with a group of 2 or 3, then comparing and contrasting the differences and similarities of their own chart.
