RESEARCH WORKSHEET ASSIGNMENT

COMPARE and CONTRAST RESEARCH WORKSHEET ASSIGNMENT

Once you have read the Compare and Contrast Essay Guide/Handout, chosen your topic (by posting to the discussion board and then getting feedback from your instructor), you then need to do some research via the Valencia College Library. Specifically, I recommend trying to find THREE articles using the library databases.

Once you find THREE viable sources, via the Valencia College Library, then you want to complete the Research Worksheet, basically creating something between an annotated bibliography and your weekly reading/summary discussion board.   IF you’re not able to find 3 sources via the library databases, PLEASE message me ASAP once you realize, and we can figure out the best way to proceed.

So there will be THREE entries for your Compare/Contrast Research Worksheet. NOTE – I know (and you should know) that you’re only required to include two sources in your final draft of the compare/contrast essay; however, I’m having you find 3 sources, so that I increase the chance of you taking the time do more research, and thus increasing the likelihood of you finding excellent sources!

For each source, you will need to construct citations for these sources and summarize them, as given below.

Brief Summary of the source (3-4 sentences): In this article, Paul Mason discusses tabletop RPGs’ relationships with the fans and players. He focuses on the experience of players who produce and play their own content, breaking this process down into steps. He begins with an introduction to the process, explains the concept of playing war games, discusses how a game is officially published, and the role of fan designers in the gaming process. Mason also talks about the importance of informed consent in collaborative art.
