Reading 4



Hello all,

Its Catherine and for this weeks reading, I will be giving my opinions about "Conducting and writing your analysis".

The first step is to apply thematic analysis. This means as you read text, you must identify the different themes that have been applied. I will be referring to this site. If you are interested I will leave a link to the website. https://www.scribbr.com/methodology/thematic-analysis/

When writing a review you should consider the theme of the literature. This sets the tone of what your are reading and essentially sets the story.

There are different types of writing such as Discursive writing. For example you have three topics, you first need to use your "analysis, synthesis, description, summary, comparison, and critique skills." 
When doing discursive writing, there are certain steps to follow to support your critique.
1)"Start with an argument"
2)"Support the argument using evidence"
3)"Provide sufficient detail"
4)"Avoid repetitive style"

We are working on a book in class. This book is based on the research we have all collaborated on about games design. 
As part of my research, I have chosen the topics of "what is a genre" and also "commonly used challenges".

Thank you all for reading.
