1.2 Turn That Off

A. Rate Yourself

In this project, you’ll learn more about video games and how they can have positive and negative impacts on our brains, bodies, and lives. You’ll decide if you think video games are mostly good or bad. But, before we get started, what do you think now? 

 

Directions: In your Mission Log, rate how you currently feel about video games. 10 = all good. 1 = all bad. All other numbers are somewhere in the middle. 

B. Pros and Cons

Now we’ll start by watching two videos about video games. These are news stories that provide examples of how reporters cover the news. Watch both videos. As you watch, think about:

What are the pros and cons of video games? 

In your Mission Log, rate your feelings about video games again. Did these videos make your ratings go up or down? Why? 

It’s okay if your ratings stayed the same. You’ll rate video games one more time at the end of the project and see if your feelings have changed.Â
