SOURCE TYPE
Secondary sources:
Look at the following lists of secondary sources. Which of these types of sources would most benefit a research topic or research question you have? Spend a few minutes & jot down 2-3 & why they would be important:
In what way can using a specific source like this help your writing/research? Why choose it?
What Keywords should you use? Try mixing and matching to find promising leads...
Consider the importance of finding key sources in different ways when you are considering a research question related to games/media. Use CMU Library Database, Google Scholar, or a general search to:
Write a brief reflection (around 200 words) what you found in your source hunt and what helped you determine and evaluate it was a good source. We will share our findings with classmates next session.
Example:
Dr. Laura Ringold discusses that, "the key signs of a healthy online community are associated with proactive participation among members, contributions in chat rooms that lend to productive response from others, and as one study suggests, an increased rate of members who engage in networked awareness of information flow" (Ringold 45).
Examples:
DQ - "The acceleration of globalized information technology has led to a mental health crisis in America associated with anxiety caused by the proliferation of social media trends among the youth culture" (James 45).
Paraphrase - Many have studied the effects of too much screen time with social media which has led to disorders and healthier trends are needed among younger generations (James 45).
Your explanation of the source's details and info where you cite major key concepts and areas. Often this happens when using abstract, introduction, conclusion or other material.
Examples:
Examples:
LOOKS LIKE = (Smith 46)
LOOKS LIKE = (Henderson, 1992, p.45)
STEP 1: POST your sample passage using one of this week's game tech web articles into your appropriate color group for your group members.
*Read and Discuss what you chose and focused on.
STEP 2: Using a KEY SOURCE that you found since Monday's class, practice writing a paragraph that integrates your source with your writing (practice with citation, direct quote, etc.)
POST the content of the paragraph with a source and later we will look at a partners and see how they are using sources.

After spending some time finding some other diverse sources what types of sources you are finding so far (titles, relevance to your topic, ideas of interest, unique studies or research trends). Use this time to start filling in information to the Secondary Source Chart such as citations or your thoughts on the source for starters. I will come by to check you off for what you put into the source chart for today.
Use Perplexity (or another platform) to practice finding another secondary source of interest! This can be added to your source chart!
*At some point in class, you will raise your hand and let me see what you've worked on so I can check you off for credit.
