<b>How might we use storytelling to demonstrate the power of our games to affect change?</b></h2>
<br />
Imagine your game as a story -- as someone going through the experiences your game suggests are truths for the people of Franklin County. Write a roughly two to three page narrative in which you use narrative techniques such as subplots, parallel plots, mood, tone and/or multiple themes to illustrate your understanding of people's needs in Franklin County via the gameplay of your Games That Matter design challenge. Your story must also demonstrate effective MUGS and reveal the depth of your empathy work and discovery research into the challenges of Franklin County.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
This Tuesday and Thursday are big, major, design and make and build and prototype days. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The designs are due next Monday and you are expected to have a playable prototype and either video or slide deck that explains the intention behind your design, your empathy work to ensure your game is meeting needs and solving problems.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's one pathway to framing out your work between now and next Monday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>TUESDAY.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Prototype the Game Play.</u></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Determine how your game is played and how that will achieve the goal of addressing the actual need -- whether it is making it possible for players to create solutions to the problem, to understand the complexity of the problem, to empathize with people who are experiencing the problem, or another goal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are struggling, that's a very good place to start. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
DEFINE THE PROBLEM Some residents [you can better define your target than "residents"] of Franklin County are experiencing _______________ because of ________________ and need _________________________.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Answer this question:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Is your game intended to help players: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A. Create solutions to the problem</div>
<div>
or</div>
<div>
B. Understand the complexity of the problem</div>
<div>
or</div>
<div>
C. Empathize with people who are experiencing the problem </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is a challenging design because you are trying to meet the needs of TWO user groups: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>one</b></i>, you are trying to help those folks experiencing the problem. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i><b>two</b></i>, you are trying to help the players have a good game experience.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>THURSDAY.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Prototype the Game Materials.</u></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cards, Boards, Pieces, Decks. Make use of ALL the Success & Innovation Center has to offer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We've got everything from 3D printing to laminating to recycled toys to wooden bits to LEGO to iPads to Makey Makey to LEDs and all that other good stuff in between. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>NEXT MONDAY.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Complete the Pitch Deck & Demo Video. This will be what we share with partner organizations for feedback. We will also be playing the games in class over the next several classes to get feedback. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>NEXT WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY.</b> We start investigating bias, telling & begin our book-based design challenge. Another narrative writing assignment is coming your way as well -- story of bias. Similar to the story of empathy, this one will also ask you to use RESEARCH about BIAS in your piece as well. </div>

<br />
You need to start by identifying the community partners at <a href="http://www.uwtva.org/" target="_blank">United Way of the Tri Valley area </a>that work on your concern area. This is vital because you need to reach out during class and schedule an interview during Friday’s class.<br />

<br />
Below is the rubric for this written design challenge:<br />
<br />
How might we create a one-page written argument that games may be used to solve problems using the words of Jane McGonigal to support our arguments?<br />
<br />
Now, in the world of design, this challenge is full of all sorts of hitches -- it's already presenting the solution (a one-page written argument) and limiting the scope of discovery (McGonigal's work). HOWEVER, what I'm hoping folks realize is that any assignment given in school can be framed as a design challenge with CREATIVE CONSTRAINTS -- certain boundaries in which we have to function and criteria we may have to meet to appease our core users a.k.a. teachers who are assessing our work. <br />
<br />
By thinking about <b><i>assignments as design challenges</i></b>, it lets us uncover all sorts of different strategies and approaches to solving the problem -- we don't have to go about solving our problems via any one particular way. We have options. <br />
<br />
One option we presented to you folks last class: quote sandwiches.<br />
<br />
1. Make a point that proves your argument.<br />
2. Support the point with quoted evidence from a reliable source.<br />
3. Support the point with a combination of your words and quoted evidence from a reliable source.<br />
4. Use your words to come to a conclusion/complete your point and answer the "so what?" or "so why does this matter?" question that your reader may be thinking inside their head as they read.<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
<i>Families come together over games. McGonigal writes, "Some of my earliest memories are of playing games with my dad and sister." The bonds we form from playing games, "build positive relationships better than anything else." When families are struggling, games can be a common bond that strengthen the weakest links." </i><br />

So . . . now you've got to get writing your 1st paragraph of your own. That is due today. One solid research based paragraph. The page will come. <br />
<br />
And then we will remix board games in the service of our community based design challenge . . . but this post is all about the writing . . <br />

While she may not be a household name, her impact on the world can be seen in the work she’s done with companies, organizations and governments in finding better ways to engage people in issues that matter. Because we will be designing games to address the problems in our community, it is important to use her words and ideas to inspire and inform our work. </span></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On Day 6, we attended a presentation about growing up black in Maine with an exceptional speaker from UMaine. She discussed race and gender identity in Maine and the challenges with growing up without being able to identify with those around you — and those folks being unable to identify with you. It was powerful and we didn’t get a chance to talk about it on Day 7. So Day 8? Day 8 you will participate in another collaborative conversation — your second opportunity to demonstrate your speaking and listening skills. One of your goals running throughout the class is building up evidence of understanding — every activity, every experience can be evidence of your ability to meet or exceed the standard, if you choose to take advantage of those opportunities.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
DAY 7 Here’s what we did! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We played Extraordinaires! It’s a design game intended to help people understand the design process while having a fantastic go of it. We co-opted the rules a little bit for our purposes and to tighten up the time frame, but you got the gist.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here’s a video that explains a little more.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<a href="https://youtu.be/xH-xu5agaJI">https://youtu.be/xH-xu5agaJI</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
From there we unpacked our WonderWalks. Now, at this moment I realize I left my list of notes from the wonderwalk back in the SIC and right now I cannot get them. So here’s what I recall.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Doorbell. Front office staff dealing with folks who aren’t ringing the doorbell to let them know they are there. Also just trying the door without ringing the door bell at all. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Foot mats. The carpets in the entryway are not absorbent enough to deal with the volume of water and sand and salt from outside, creating slippery hallways.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Blank walls. The walls around the music rooms and Main office are blank and uninspiring. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Food court. 3rd lunch. There isn’t any food left. That’s a problem for kids in third lunch and a problem that admin thinks has been resolved.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2nd Floor Landing B-Wing. People are misusing the space making it impossible for people who are actually allowed to be there to use it well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Stairwells. See through stairwells are creating an unsafe environment for people wearing skirts as well as people in general whose privacy may be violated.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Social behavior. At least one of the students in special education on campus is in need of videos that help him better understand how to behave appropriately.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I feel like I’m definitely forgetting one or more of the ideas on the table, but those are what I can recall at the moment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On Thursday, during Class 8, you will need to identify the challenge you want to tackle and the design team with whom you most want to work. You can work in a group of 1, 2 or 3 designers for this challenge. These numbers maximize the likelihood of a successful design SINCE you will only have three days to complete the challenge! The Monday, Wednesday and Friday after break. Yup. That will be our time for the design sprint. By that Friday you will have come up with a feedback worthy prototype.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also during Class 8 you will do a little more empathy analysis work by examining two poems, one by Shane Koyczan and one by Lucille Clifton. My internet is acting up so I’ll have to send those along to you at a later time. <br />
<br />
Make sure you TURN IN YOUR EMPATHY STORY! It was due Tuesday after being pushed back because of weather and such. Stay on pace. To turn it in, place it in your Design Thinking Google Drive INBOX folder.</div>
Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9049636375628215993.post-65839850486735411572018-02-05T10:22:00.000-05:002018-02-05T10:22:18.543-05:00Design Thinking: Spring 18: Day 5: WonderWalk & Problem HuntingQuick Day 4 recap!<br />
<br />
Watched a terrific episode of the design documentary series, <i><a href="https://www.netflix.com/title/80057883" target="_blank">Abstract</a></i>, featuring shoe design legend, <a href="http://paintorthread.com/2017/02/12/tinker-hatfield-netflix-abstract-episode-proves-why-sneakers/" target="_blank">Tinker Hatfield.</a> (Hatfield designed the iconic editions of the Air Jordan amongst a slew of other shoes for Nike.) <br />
<br />
You participated in your first collaborative conversation -- centered around the ideas of the documentary as well as empathy and the "how might we . . . ?" mindset possibilities.<br />
<br />
And got a reminder that your empathy story is due this Friday, February 9th.<br />
<br />
You will have some time to work on that story in class today -- we'll do a little writer's maker workshop to generate ideas build out possible structures for your stories.<br />
<br />
Most importantly today! We are going on a WonderWalk, an exploration of the campus looking for tension points, problem spots, and doing some on the fly empathy interviews so we might better understand the needs of our campus. This is going to lay the ground work for our first major design challenge: How might we improve the Mt. Blue Campus experience? (That HMW is wayyyyy too broad -- hence why we need to WonderWalk and see how we might narrow it down AND design for a particular group of users.)<br />
<br />
We will start as whole group and then break into smaller teams, hunt things down, take pictures, video and more. Wednesday, we will unpack our walks -- see what trends exist.<br />
<br />
During your WonderWalk, your team must do the following.<br />
<br />
1. Create a map that tracks your movements and identifies the locations/spaces/environments on campus where you went hunting.<br />
2. Take photos and/or video of evidence of the problems you encounter. <br />
3. Record at least one rapid empathy interview (audio is fine, video would be great) with a member of the campus community who is facing a particular challenge.<br />
4. Brainstorm a list of How Might We . . .? questions inspired by your walk. The more the better, so I'm looking for at least ten from your group. Don't worry about how good they are -- focus more on the generation.<br />
<br />
Wednesday, we'll also experience the beauty that is "Yes/And," the importance of adding more and more ideas, validating contributions of others, and solving by growing rather than correcting and negating (no/but). <br />
<br />
FOR FRIDAY: Story of a Design. The RUBRIC IS COMING! I SWEAR! (Today! It might even be here before you know it! The creative constraints were here.<br />

<br />
Today, we watched the second episode of <i>Abstract: The Art of Design. </i>This episode tells the story of footwear designer, Tinker Hatfield's, experience with designing Air Jordans. After viewing, we had a collaborative conversation based on these guiding questions:<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>What does Tinker's design process look like?</li>
<li>Where does Tinker draw inspiration from?</li>
<li>What are some of Tinker's design goals?</li>
<li>How does Tinker conduct research for his designs?</li>
<li>How does Tinker use empathy in his design work?</li>
<li>What challenges does Tinker face in his design work?</li>
<li>How does Tinker encounter failure? Success?</li>
</ul>
<div>
We wrote down evidence of what we said during discussion for assessment purposes:<br />

Where we use empathy to transition ourselves into the world of possibilities and the omnipresent question, "How might we . . . ?"<br />
<br />
What does, "How might we . . . ?" mean. It's a way of framing possibility. <a href="https://designsprintkit.withgoogle.com/methods/understand/hmw-directions/" target="_blank">Take a look at this link to Google's Design Sprint Kit page on "How Might We?"</a> (Note: Something we will keep hammering this semester -- the skills you are learning in this class are the same one's used by super powerful multinational companies like Google and by small businesses just starting up. Design thinking is used everywhere.)<br />
<br />
Here's a very short video from IDEO.org, the non-profit arm of IDEO -- one of the most influential design firms in the world. This video captures the thinking about HMW very well.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/102964749" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
<a href="https://vimeo.com/102964749">How Might We</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/ideoorg">IDEO.org</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.<br />
<br />
This week, we'll be participating in a few different activities, having a few different conversations, creating a few different pieces of evidence to show our understanding 'How Might We . . ." as well as its relationship to empathy and point of view.<br />
<br />
We'll start with a conversation about language. Compare and contrast the words below, considering their <i>denotations</i> as well as their <i>connotations</i>. (Here's a video to help.)<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/127790512" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="640"></iframe>
<a href="https://vimeo.com/127790512">FLVS English 3- Denotation and Connotation (Lesson 1.04)</a> from <a href="https://vimeo.com/user25622346">Mr. Falzone</a> on <a href="https://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
How _____ we . . . ?<br />
<br />
<b>SHOULD</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>WOULD </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>CAN</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>WILL</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>DO</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>MIGHT</b><br />
<br />
Let's put it into context, though. Get into teams of four. You have a task. Retrieve a zip snip from the Success & Innovation Center and bring it back here in less than 10 minutes.<br />
<br />
Here are the creative constraints.<br />
<br />
Teams of Three or Four<br />
<br />
One team member covers their eyes.<br />
<br />
One team member covers their mouth.<br />
<br />
One team member covers their ears.<br />
<br />
One team member keeps their hands behind their back.<br />
<br />
5 minutes to brainstorm a plan. <br />
<br />
3 minutes to select a course of action.<br />
<br />
GO. When you return, we will examine your degrees of success, your strategies, and how you went about the task.<br />
<br />
FIRST MAJOR WRITING ASSESSMENT<br />
<br />
After the debrief, we will assign your first major writing assessment: A Design Story of Empathy. Storytelling is a<br />
<br />
Creative Constraints and Expectation.<br />
<br />
Prompt: Tell the story of an individual using empathy to solve a problem.<br />
<br />
Show the conflicts this individual faces in the problem.<br />
<br />
Demonstrate the extent to which you understand empathy as a tool for meaningful problem solving.<br />
<br />
The story may be a piece of fiction of any genre<b> or</b> creative non-fiction about you or someone you know. The goal is to tell a great story.<br />
<br />
Use one or more of the following storytelling elements/devices to enhance your piece<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Dialogue</li>
<li>Point of View</li>
<li>Symbolism</li>
</ul>

1st Submission Draft for Feedback: Due FRIDAY, FEB 9.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
A rubric is on its way in time for Class 4. <br />
<br />
Class 4 we will be having our first collaborative conversation (listening and speaking; language standard assessment), watching part of a documentary about Nike shoe design, and then having a writer's workshop to help you with your story.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Start by reviewing Soul Pancake's empathy "parking ticket experiment" from last class.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ObYLerYbzts/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ObYLerYbzts?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
Then watch these two videos regarding how we define and think about empathy. You'll be comparing these two and finding the common threads and interesting outliers between them.<br />
<br />
This one, from RSA Animates, uses an excerpt from a <a href="https://brenebrown.com/" target="_blank">Brene Brown</a> presentation as its language. It provides an analogy to make sense of the difference between empathy and other feelings -- such as sympathy and pity. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1Evwgu369Jw/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Evwgu369Jw?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And this one, from LifeHacker, explains why empathy is so important.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UzPMMSKfKZQ/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UzPMMSKfKZQ?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In groups of 1, 2 or 3, turn each of those two videos into what we call a literary 3x3: 3, 3-word, sentences that summarize each video. They don't have to be grammatically correct -- they need to be purposeful and meaningful and accurate. Maximize verbs. Minimize helping words. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For example, I might break down the parking ticket experiment video as:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Researcher tests happiness</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fake tickets issued</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Empathy sympathy tested</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, do the same for each of the videos and e-mail your literary 3x3s to both Ms. Audy and me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This should give you a starter sense of empathy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
NEXT . . . Empathy Caution. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In groups of 1, 2 or 3, select one of the two articles pressing back against a focus on empathy. (Skim each quickly before choosing the one you most want to analyze; you'll be more successful if you've at least chosen a piece that appeals to you in some way.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, work with your group to LEGO the ARTICLE. Design a LEGO model of how that article does its work. What is the case it makes? How does the author build that case? What sort of evidence? Arguments? Points? What do you notice about the author's language? </div>

We want you to think about <i>the writer as a designer, the audience as the user.</i> Break it down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, last step, you have to get on FlipGrid on your own and explain the thinking behind your group's LEGO design. How is that article designed? Provide evidence that you understand the article, the points the author is making AND how the article is designed. </div>

<br />
Over the next semester, we will learn to become design thinkers. This visual is here to help you understand the difference between <i>a design</i>, <i>a design process</i>, and <i>design thinking</i>. It may not make a ton of sense to you here on day one -- and over the course of the semester -- heck, the first quarter -- it will. <br />

<br />
We completed a flashlab, which is just a name for a quick, rapid fire design experience.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 17.6px;">We'll be tackled this big ol' question: "How might we bring joy to others?" following Mary Cantwell's </span><a href="http://www.deepdesignthinking.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #888888; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 17.6px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">DEEPdt design process</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Josefin Sans"; font-size: 17.6px;">.

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Josefin Sans;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 17.6px;">Then we watched a video featuring an empathy experiment. (We didn't quite get to the end, so we'll be diving back into the last couple of minutes during Class 2.)</span></span><br />

<br />
There wasn't any homework to complete for Class 2 -- and there won't be homework every night in this class. You CAN expect one assessment a week -- sometimes it will be a writing piece, other times a recording, a creative product, a presentation, a number of different things. <br />
<br />
We will get into semester expectations during Class 3. Ms. Audy and I would like us to focus on the thinking around empathy first -- and THEN dig into the plan for the semester.<br />

We'll be working Little Bits into the options for solutions so we may create working prototypes at the next level. <br />
<br />
Before we get there . . .<br />
<br />
You have two pieces of analysis you need to complete.<br />
<br />
<b>1. FLIPGRID: Scene Analysis.</b><br />
<br />
In class we took a look at the jailhouse scene in <i>To Kill a Mockingbird</i> and explored how the filmmakers used angles, framing, composition, costuming, production design and more to deliver important messages about equality, tolerance, innocence, fear, ignorance, strength, knowledge, and more.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oaVuVu5KXuE/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oaVuVu5KXuE?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
Now you must go to this flipgrid, choose a still shot from the collection linked there (and shared with you on Google Drive) and complete a two to three minute analysis of your own. <br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="870" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://flipgrid.com/embed/topic/188cc0" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe><br />
You might want to find the film (it's available on Netflix and can be taken out from the MBC Library on DVD) and see the moving images. You might find some more clips on the MovieClips YouTube channel.<br />
<br />
Post it on your BLOG and then link to that blog post on the blog tracker.<br />
<br />
<b>2. <i>To Kill a Mockingbird</i> Foreshadowing REVISIT.</b><br />
<br />
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kEG2Sy3xIXoBN7Ye3kCKB4LVEeFTNAT4-oD6HRWREmY/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Shared with you on Google Drive is a new version of the foreshadowing and symbolism graphic organizer you used the other day.</a> The difference? Now you've seen the whole film. These are no longer predictions.<br />
<br />
Determine the extent to which your predictions were successful. What have you now noticed about these potential symbols? What do they mean?<br />

<span style="font-family: Raleway; white-space: pre-wrap;">For the past couple of weeks, we've been discussing values and morality. We've looked at episodes of </span><i style="font-family: Raleway; white-space: pre-wrap;">Meat Eater</i><span style="font-family: Raleway; white-space: pre-wrap;">, readings from </span><i style="font-family: Raleway; white-space: pre-wrap;">I Am the Messenger</i><span style="font-family: Raleway; white-space: pre-wrap;">, talked with our SRO Office Gilbert (a.k.a. Bridgette), represented our values in LEGO/beads/Jenga or other materials, explored MIT's Moral Machine and designed morality machines of our own using Little Bits and shared them on Flipgrid.</span></div>

Based on what you have read thus far in your <span class="il">book</span>, compose an original instrumental <span class="il">score</span>(no lyrics) to accompany the reading of your <span class="il">book</span> using either a digital tool (Garage Band, Soundtrap, Wolfram, BeatsLab, etc.) or live instrumentation. You may work with a musical friend to develop your <span class="il">score</span>. Your <span class="il">score</span> should be at least three minutes in length to demonstrate your thinking extends beyond just a single moment in the book and reflect typical song length -- though film scores tend to be longer.</div>

For THIS WEEK . . .<br />
<br />
We are defining the problem that is starting from this place: How might we address the "brain drain" problem of Franklin County? <br />
<br />
On Monday we discussed the challenge of defining this problem, seeing this problem from different points of view, and establishing our user class.<br />

<br />
On Wednesday, we will work to further define the problem and identify our users. We will use a couple of design thinking strategies and protocols to help us with this work. Remember: design is messy and requires both a bias toward action and a recognition that we may need to shift or pivot our work in a different direction. It can be tough to reconcile what may seem like divergent problems.<br />
<br />
For Wednesday, some folks agreed to dive into the empathy work -- connecting with both folks who might be leaving the area AND with folks who live outside the area and may need to be convinced to return AND with folks who have not lived here before. Wow. I just identified a third user class. I wonder . . how might we appeal to all three with one solution?<br />
<br />
Other folks agreed to do some more focused research on brain drain in Franklin County.<br />
<br />
And remember through it all, we need to be thinking about how we might employ literature and our knowledge of literature into whatever solution we pursue.<br />
<br />
That's one of our key creative constraints. Using literature to solve the problem. Still leaves us plenty of possibilities to explore.<br />

<b>BLOG 3. Myself 10 Years Ago (in Wood)</b><br />
<br />
After looking at ourselves in the present, we started looking at ourselves in the past. We sketchnoted ourselves 10 years ago for 5 minutes and then had 20 minutes to build a representation of 10 years ago selves out of scrap wood in the theater workshop. We then got on <a href="https://flipgrid.com/53e97a" target="_blank">FlipGrid </a>and explained our thinking. On your blog, explain what you made and why you made it by embedding your FlipGrid and including images of your build.<br />

BLOG 4. Advice to My Self 10 Years Ago<br />
<br />
The next post asks you to think about yourself 10 years ago once more and write a one-page letter of advice. Part of the work included completing <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/mtbluersd.org/document/d/1QHm08K0m_nwcpstS7DMw0AtY8Pb4l-rPNgXNIFxuHwo/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">a graphic organizer</a> based on reading the first article in this list copied from an email I sent you. Turn that graphic organizer in to me using a Google Drive folder labeled "[Your Name] Senior Seminar IN" and making sure you have shared that<br />

Everyone needs to take a look at: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Column&source=gmail&ust=1487134331841000&usg=AFQjCNHTuT11sQFFR08qu2W7a7gVT_Kk8A" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Column" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://www.wikihow.com/Write-<wbr></wbr>a-Column</a></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Then, you'll pick two of these to look and check for the extent to which these writers use the <span class="il">advice</span> from that article. Be careful not to get into whether or not you agree with the writers. You're looking for style and format, rather than <span class="il">advice</span> for yourself.</div>
