You will get to know the college library more intimately, learn how to select
and take out books, and how to read selectively and critically.
This project is relatively open, providing you with the
freedom to explore the possibilities for learning offered by books in
particular.
This means that the first stage of the task will involve exploration, browsing and reading. The only limit is your curiosity.

Spend this session in the library familiarising yourself
with the system and seeing what is there.
Don’t restrict yourself to the games section, see what there is in film, animation, photography etc.
See if you can find where you can find books on philosophy and critical theory.

Look through contents pages for chapter/essay titles that
interest you.
Skim read some of these to see if they are of interest.

TASK:
Take out one book which contains a chapter, essay or article that is of interest to you.
Read and take notes: What is it about? What are the key issues/ideas raised? Why did it interest you in the first place?
Plan a short presentation (no more than three minutes)
introducing and summarising the text, explaining why you chose it, and what you
have learnt from reading it.
We will be producing a class bibliography of interesting texts from books.
