My Message is to clear up the smoke and mirrors about violent video games and the problems with them; not the clichéd connections to school shootings. The real problem of vile business practices and child neglect. The audience that I’m targeting are parents or any Guardian for that matter. The genre I chose is an opinion piece for the freely thought on the topic with facts to put behind it and I feel that people will better connect with what I am trying to say. I chose op-ed for another reason to get emotional reaction out my audience to give a stronger impression. I start by collecting data from Unit 2 that best aligns with my idea and maybe find more data if it is not enough. There is a little bit of a concern of how to bring it all together, I don’t see the finished product right now in my mind. The mentor text I’m using is “My College Students Are Not OK” by Jonathan Malesik. This mentor text will give me a clearer picture about my topic more in the structure that I want to use.
What is your research question? Why not target parents who are worried about their children playing video games too often to narrow down your audience?
Dear Manuel,
I recommend working on your paragraph structure because it’s confusing. Also put your research question on top so we can better understand your proposal.
OK I think opinion piece is a good choice. So WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE: is it that NO playing video games dos not contribute to violent tendencies? OR is it that YES video gaming does contribute to aggressive violent tendencies? WHAT IS YOUR MESSAGE be clear! But why did your choose “My College Students are NOT OK”? as a mentor text. Have you read it through?
