Assignment: Designer's Journal.  Due: 4:00pm before each class; Completed journal with all entries: December 9

Summarize the most important ideas and questions for each paper and book chapter you have read in approximately one third to one half of a page.  This is not a reaction paper or an excerpt, but rather your synthesis of the main ideas and related questions.  Use these summaries to create a journal (blog or wiki) that is the basis for your discussions in class, for your design document, and, later, a summary of the topics covered in this course.  You are expected to find at least one game per class meeting on your own and include a discussion of this game, and how it reflects the topics of the reading for that meeting, in this journal.
