WRIT 1111 , Fall 2006

Paper

Due Nov 17, midnight, 2006, emailed as a word file to Scott

You are to write a 5 - 7 page (double spaced paper with 11 point New Time Roman font and the default MS Word margins) about some issue that relates games and culture. Not more than 7 pages!

I suggest the following topics:

1. Argue that the lack of women and under-represented minorities in game development is or is not an important problem. Draw together information and idea from papers 2 - 5 on the web site and the chapter of the book we read and discussed in class.
2. Argue that games have the potential to go beyond just the congnitive benefits highlighted in the book we read. Use papers 10 and 11 from the web site as a starting point for your paper thesis.
3. Any other topic you feel strongly about related to games. Your paper should draws together information from at least two sources.

   In all three cases you should cite a few quotes appropriately.
