Homework for 1 Feb

Email Brendan at briley@colum.edu from your preferred email address and tell him the name of your blogger account and URL for your blog.

Read the three readings:

Semiotics for Beginners (Sections 1-7)
"Abstraction in the Video Game" by Mark Wolf (VGTR)
"Semiotic Domains" by James Gee (CP- WVGHTTU)*

The first is an online text, the other two are available via OASIS handouts.

On your blog, post a response to the readings answering the following two questions for each reading:

Write two or three sentences describing the main idea of each reading.
Choose one sentence that sparks your interest. Write a paragraph pondering the idea you chose. If you can link it to thinking about a game, all the better.
