Introduction: I will start off my presentation by introducing my topic and explaining my essential question. But first I will talk more about what my topic means (go into detail). After I will explain the meaning of my essential question.
Foundation: For this part of the presentation I will go into the career aspect of my topic. I will explain what a designer goes through and how it all works. I will also go into a little bit about the history, not a whole lot just a little bit.
Answer 1: Gameplay
Information taught:
I will talk about the importance of game-play in a video game. I will inform what the next several things have that tie in with game-play.
- Story line
- Replay-ability
- Online Play
Anwer 2: Graphics
Information taught:
Graphics are probably the most noticeable element in a video game that can be seen improved. I will explain about graphics and why it is significantly getting better.
Answer 3: Mechanics
Information taught:
Mechanics are the bonus parts to a game. For example the death mechanism in a game is usually the same for every game; you die and they you respawn. Making mechanisms original and creative can really make a game great.

1. What is the activity: Minecraft play.
2. How it will be done: Students will play Minecraft on the computers.
2. How the activity relates to answer: Minecraft is a great game that has super pixilated graphics. This will show that with great game play graphics sometimes don’t matter.

Answer 2 Activity: Not yet thought of one.
Answer 3 Activity: Not yet thought of one.
Best Answer:
I am still debating on my best answer. My two choices are either graphics or gameplay.
Conclusion:
What I’m thinking of doing: Talk about three games and relate them to each one of my answers. For example graphics: Crysis after I talk about Crysis I will explain why it ties into graphics.
Product: What I got through this year of experience is how to make a game that will be financially succesful just by answering my essential question. I also realized that a degree isn't really needed in this business.
