Question 1)

file: Benefits of Video Games

Purpose)

Your task is to produce a one and a half page letter for a classmate that provides feedback on the person’s proposal draft( Benefits of Video Games). The central question you are trying to answer is “how can you help improve your classmate’s research and proposal?”.

Format your response as a formal letter in order to practice the conventions of letter

writing. If you aren’t sure how to format a letter, then consult the Purdue OWL’s useful

online resource: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/653/02… (basic business) format

Your letter should include at least 4 paragraphs that include the following information:

• Begin your letter with a paragraph describing what you think the author’s main research question and goal is. Try to quote sentences in the proposal that you think best sums up the author’s proposed research. Be specific.
• Provide one paragraph describing the proposal’s strengths. Again, be specific.
• Provide one paragraph describing things you think the author could work on. Again, be specific.
• Provide a paragraph describing where you think the author’s research is going and whether they seem to have a concrete plan to carry out this research.

You should also adhere to the following guidelines:

• Use what you’ve learned in the course so far to provide meaningful and specific feedback.
• I suggest you write your letters as Google documents to share them with your partner more easily

Trouble Spots

• How do you provide meaningful and productive feedback while maintaining a credible ethos?
• How do you address grammar and syntax concerns when writing a letter?
• How do emotional appeals work in letters like these?
• Should be specific about the current research already conducted. Consider naming specific authors and studies, or include in-text citations. In addition, when you describe the “purpose of study”, make sure to explain how you will contribute to the current conversation about the subject. Based on the research context you provided, what new insights do you plan to provide? In addition, make sure to also include your hypotheses based on the research you’ve already conducted. At this point, what conclusions can you make regarding your research question?
