The article, “Gaming makes kids physically fit? New research says yes. Maybe.” By Newsela Staff discusses how video games are good and not bad for you. The article states that video games help with social skills, health, and violence control. In fact, people playing as a bad guy in shooter games felt guilty. Although, video games aren’t as effective with these things compared to other activities.
The author’s purpose is to inform the reader. The author wants to inform the reader that video games are good for your body and mind. While reading the reader can learn, “Noah began to play ‘Minecraft’ and other games for hours at a time…Noah, who has Asperger’s syndrome, a disability that affects social skills, started becoming more open to the world.” Showing that video games can help with disorders.
