This week we prepared a research outline. I found a lot of information online about games and films, but during my one-on-one discussion with the teacher, they pointed out an issue with my approach. For a 1500-word essay, the topic shouldn’t be too broad or cover too much ground. In my outline, I talked about games and then jumped to films, which I shouldn’t have done. If I’m discussing 3D games, I should focus on games and not switch to the topic of films. Also, since we’re talking about 3D, it’s important to note that 2D hasn’t been overshadowed by the rise of 3D. In fact, there are still countless people in the real world who are passionate about 2D animated games…
After this discussion, I found the teacher’s points very reasonable. I realized that with such a broad topic, it would be impossible to cover everything properly within a 1500-word limit or to write it well. So, I’ve decided to adjust my topic, but I still want to keep the focus on 3D content. Additionally, regarding Harvard-style referencing, I have to admit that as someone who has never used this format before, I’m a bit unsure about the specific requirements and feel a bit nervous and anxious. Nevertheless, I will refer to other people’s essays to learn how to do the citations correctly.
