Our Research Plan: The topic we have chosen is whether or not violent video games have an affect on children in the future. It is significant because of the amount of children who play violent video games and how many violent video games there are today. Our group plans to each do our own individual research. After we have found sources that are relevant and helpful for our topic we plan to discuss what we found with each group member. We plan to e-mail and post the sources and things we think are valuable to our topic so that each group member can have access to what we find. From there will we comment and discuss as a group the sources we plan to use. So we plan to divide up the research between the group members and then work together using the sources we all agree are best for our research topic.

You should also have sources that argue against negative consequences of violent games, if you are to research the debate. Check out this: [|Violent Media Is Good for Kids]. MSH
