Intro and Diagnostic: Adventure and Clue

R1A students are required to write a short response paper in the first week of class, to help the instructor diagnose their writing goals and issues.

We'll spend our first week in class playing through, and lightly examining as we go, ADVENTURE (aka Colossal Cave Adventure, the first-ever text adventure computer game) and CLUE (aka Cluedo, the board game).

We'll screen scenes from the Clue movie during the first week, too; students will be asked to write a response paper on either Adventure or Clue, analyzing what either one does to the linearity of its storylines.
