Submission Required
Lead a 60-minute small-group session to generate multiple animation script concepts. Document ideas with quick notes, create rough concept sketches or storyboards, and build a feasibility/impact matrix to compare each approach. Select the top 3 concepts and write a concise rationale for why each could best convey the message of hope in your story. Prepare these outputs for later refinement and feedback from peers and community partners.

Student-facing instructions
You will work in small groups to brainstorm multiple animation script concepts. Use large paper and markers for quick notes and sketches. Collaborate to create a storyboard for promising ideas and document them systematically. Then, form a feasibility/impact matrix to evaluate each idea and select the top three concepts. Finally, write a rationale for each selection, explaining its potential to convey hope in the story.
