Book Reports (19/3/2013)

Today we were told that we would be presenting our book reports to the group, however our lecturer put us into three groups and had us explain our findings to the members of them instead.

Before the above however, we looked at both Harvard Referencing and annotated bibliographies in the power point 'Using an annotated bibliography'. An annotated bibliography includes a summary after each source as well as an assessment and reflection on the text.      

My group members reported on the books 'Watching the Watchmen', 'Mythology, An Illustrated Encyclopedia' and 'Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl'.

I plan to report upon my book 'The Encyclopedia of Mythology' in a annotated bibliography in a future post.

We were told that next term we would be looking at nostalgia and what it means to be retro in gaming terms which is something I really look forward to as not only do I love retro graphics and music, but we may also get the opportunity to play some retro games in the name of research.

Finally our lecturer challenged us with finding the game 'Ghosts and Goblins' online and seeing how far we can get considering it is meant to be one of the most hardest retro games around.
