Great. You seem to be making your way through this unit well, which is good, since you have 4 more! Anyway, now we're going to spend sometime thinking about video games. You don't need to be a gamer to do this assignment, I promise. Most of us have SOME experience with gaming, even if its simply fighting them for the attention of our friends or significant others. It's estimated that the video game industry will surpass the film industry in total revenue in just a few short years - amazing considering it is so young.
And yet video games are not considered art. The creators are not considered artists. Even though they involve all of the elements of a classic novel: conflict, heroes, villians, magical landscapes, unbelievable acts, etc.
We will also spend some time discussing some of the major concerns people have with video games - namely, they're addictive, and they're too violent. Well, why not get started.
Here is the assignment, game on! (I wish the link could take you to a page that said "I'm sorry Mario, your assignment is in another castle" - wouldn't that be amazing? Alas.)
