Today’s Plan:
- Think and Freewrite
- Share
- Share Again
Proposal Project
On Friday I introduced the Proposal Project and shared a link to the template. We’ll spend today’s class working on ideas for the proposal. I’ve got a short proposal pre-writing assignment for you to submit to Canvas before Wednesday’s class. We’ll be in the computer lab on Wednesday–my hope is to have targeted writing goals for each group and team based on the pre-writing activity. Ethical question folks: I will give you time to work on a heuristic for analyzing games on Wednesday. Representation folks: I am hoping to help you think about methodology for collecting objects to analyze Wednesday.
Think / Share / Share Again
- Think and Free Write [5 minutes]: I’ll ask you to free write for ten minutes. Please identify: What you want to analyze (one game, a few games, game covers, user reviews) and–if possible–what you want to focus on
- Share: [15 minutes]: Get into groups of 3-5 (Ethical folks will need to form at least 2 groups). Quickly share your ideas. Make sure everyone has a chance to speak.
- Share Again: [25 minutes]: I’ll ask you to share your idea with the whole class. My reason for doing this is to see if we can locate potential partnerships, ways to combine efforts in data collection or even analysis. Everyone will write their own papers, but I think projects really benefit from pooling labor.
Homework
Two things:
- Complete the Pre-Writing “Quiz” in Canvas (two questions)
- I’ll have extended office hours tomorrow (Tuesday) from 12:00 until 1:00 and then again from 2:00 until 3:30
