In small groups, brainstorm at least 6 imaginative concepts for your animation script. Create concise brainstorm notes (empathy artifacts) that capture audience needs and hopes. Produce 3 quick concept sketches or storyboards to visualize each idea. Build a feasibility/impact matrix evaluating ideas across audience resonance, production feasibility, and alignment with your essential question. Select your Top 3 concepts with a clear rationale for each. Save all artifacts in a shared drive and prepare a 3-minute group summary to share in the next session.

Student-facing instructions
Your task is to collaborate in groups to develop imaginative concepts for your animation script. Begin by brainstorming ideas and creating empathy artifacts to understand your audience's needs. Draw 3 quick sketches or storyboards for each idea. Use a feasibility/impact matrix to assess these sketches based on audience resonance, production feasibility, and alignment with your essential question. Select your group's Top 3 concepts, providing a clear rationale for each choice. Save all materials in the shared drive. Prepare a summary for a presentation in the next session.
