Student-facing instructions
Review all notes from your visit to the model train club, focusing on processes, stories, and elements that stand out. Use this information to create empathy maps highlighting what hobbyists think, feel, say, and do. Then, design journey maps that reflect potential storyline developments in the context of haunted or horror-infused train layouts. Compile all insights into a synthesis document that will steer the creative direction of your scripts and storyboard work.
