2- Brainstorm a list of 10 possibilities for the project and post them to the blog

for Sunday 24th by 6pm:
3- Post comments to your classmates' idea lists to give them feedback on their project ideas.

for Monday 25th by class time:
4- Bring in your full character development, having answered all the questions on the sheet provided in class
5- Make a storyboard using this template. Bring your storyboard, with images, outlining your plan of attack for each of the 7 days that the project will run: NOW Sept 27 - October 4.

Remember, take control of your narrative! Like reality TV, although it may seem like a lot of things are left up to chance and fate, they are actually scripted and pre-planned.
