Please submit your Ready Player One film review to our Google classroom.
Today we will discuss Misogyny in Video Games. Let's start with Arthur Chu's article "Your Princess is in Another Castle." Then please watch the linked videos.
WRITING TASK: Use the source material to write a reflective post on your blog defining your position regarding this important issue about the misogyny of video games & digital media. Remember to attribute your sources. If you quote Chu or Sarkeesian (or another source) make sure you give them credit for their ideas!
EXTRA CREDIT: You may gain extra credit if you, like Anita Sarkeesian, film a vlog post or create a Podcast and upload on your blog your own critical review on the topic in a review of games you play. [You may work collaboratively on this project!]
To write a podcast, start with an outline of the topics you (and your partner(s) will speak about). Record yourself having an informative discussion about the topic and upload the MP3 to your blog either by using the movie slate icon or linking your file through the internet.
