Explaining Second Life: Many Second Life citizens get offended when the environment is described as a game. Why do you think the term "game" might be troubling to SL participants? How would you describe Second Life?

Write a letter to a parent or relative, someone you know who is not technically inclined, and describe Second Life.

Create a similar description of Second Life using another media (podcast, Power Point, music video)

Find a newspaper or magazine article that introduces Second Life to its audience. Compose an essay/podcast/photo essay analyzing the article’s targeted audience, the effectiveness of the article’s introduction, the opinion of the author, and how accurate you feel the article is.
