Critique and Revision
Submission Required
Students develop a first version of their personal narrative food map, starting with low-fidelity sketches (paper maps and memory notes) and moving toward a functional medium-fidelity prototype (storyboard or interactive mockup). In paired sessions, each student tests their prototype with a partner acting as a user, collects empathy artifacts (quotes, needs statements), and records design changes in an iteration log with rationale.

5 steps · 60 min| # | What teachers do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Introduce the day's objectives, focusing on the development of the prototype narrative food maps. (5 min) |
| 2 | Students sketch initial low-fidelity food map concepts, incorporating key memory notes and personal experiences related to food. (10 min) |
| 3 | Facilitate a paired session where students share their sketches and gather initial feedback, documenting empathy artifacts such as quotes and needs statements. (10 min) |
| 4 | Students synthesize peer feedback and begin refining their food maps, aiming for emotional depth and clarity while considering cultural significance. (15 min) |
| 5 | Wrap up the session by documenting design changes with rationale in an iteration log. (5 min) |
Preparation (1 item)
- Prepare materials such as blank paper, pens, and post-it notes for sketching and feedback collection.
Student-facing instructions
Your task is to develop the first version of your personal narrative food map. Begin by sketching your food-related memories and notes on paper. Pair up with a classmate to share and test your sketches, gather feedback, and note any key quotes or needs they express. Use this feedback to refine your concept, focusing on emotional and cultural elements. Finally, record your design changes and reasons in an iteration log.
