5-Minute Presentation Rough Draft

Objective:
Students will learn what exactly video game journalism is (as in what they write about, how to get into this field, and all the basic need for getting in.)

Procedure:

1. I'll introduce myself and ask the students if they know any magazines or blogs that write about video games, and say those are all forms of video game journalism in some way; also, I'll specify that this really is the dream job (and I'll quote my first interview too)
2. I'll then tell everyone the basic need for getting into this field, lots and lots of practice on writing. Here, I'll quote my first interview and say that the best way to get better at writing is to sit at a desk and try to write for 8-10 hours.
3. I'll then tell the students what video game journos (short for journalists) write about from video game reviews to what's going on in the game industry.
4. From here, I'll explain what things you need to get into the video game journalism field and what to expect.
5. I'll wrap up my presentation and see if anyone has any questions.

Check for Understanding:
Aside from asking questions, I'll ask if anyone is confused and clarify what they're confused on. I'll also show what's on my poster to help clarify the subject.

Resources/Materials:
I'm going to have a poster board with "Video Game Journalism" in the middle with arrows pointing to what the journos write about as well as different logos of different websites and companies. Alongside the poster, I'll try to get a magazine such as Game Informer and pass that around.
