Bellwork/Your Blog:
Watch the following videos:
Watch the following videos:
- Video Game Violence: What Trump, Sanders, and Clinton Say
- Video Game Violence linked to Bad Behavior
- Video Games Cause Aggression?
- Write about a video game you played that shocked you with its violence, racism/cultural insensitivity, or misogyny. Identify the game and what bothered you about the experience. If you have never played a video game like this, you might write about a music video, song, or T.V. show that fits the bill.
- Consider why such games or media are made. How do these images or representations affect you personally? How might they affect your family or loved ones?
- Or is all of this just an excuse for deeper social problems in our society? Why or why not? How?
When you have written your response on your blog, continue working on your game design/Twine story. See previous post(s) for details.
Your story will need specific and effective writing to bring the experience alive for your player/reader. Imagery comes in various "flavors" or details:
- Visual imagery: sight (mostly created by specific nouns & verbs; similes and metaphors)
- Auditory imagery: sound (mostly created by onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance, euphony, etc.)
- Gustatory imagery: taste (describing tastes: bitter, sour, sweet, salty, metallic, etc.)
- Olfactory imagery: smell (describing smells: flowers, chemicals, rot or decay, etc. Smells sometimes have a gustatory description as well)
- Kinesthetic or tactile imagery: touch (rough, smooth, prickly, bumpy, slimy, temperature, etc.)
How can we write more descriptively?
Try some of these tricks/craft skills in your game writing.
Continue writing your Twine CYOA game. This project will be due next week (Tuesday/Thursday).
HOMEWORK: None. All make up work/projects must be completed by Thursday of next week! The marking period ends next Thursday. Next Friday is Veteran's Day.
