         <description><![CDATA[<div>This task is designed addressing the need of presentation skills which is an added remark for every student. You have to pick your favorite gaming characters from different video games and have to combine them to create your personal gaming identity. Here you will use your own IGN. Afterward you will use your special power and ability to eradicate one harsh side of the society. This is like a cosplay activity. You will use your resources to dress like your favorite character and have to perform a 3 to 5 minutes of drama describing<br>the character and action. Besides, on the discord server you will elaborately put your thoughts in a general text channel. So that every student can evaluate each other’s thoughts. (For example, Someone can pick Harry Potter and use his magic wands to cure all the sick people in a society). This activity will carry 30 percent of total marks. </div>]]></description>
