Students will launch the school storytelling project by exploring meaningful campus people and places through a clue-based scavenger hunt, then build shared expectations for portraits, interviews, captions, and mini-magazine work through a hands-on image-and-writing sort.

Students will gather photo evidence, interview notes, and observations about school people and places, then organize what they learned into an empathy artifact with caption ideas, selected quotes, and assumptions to check before moving into design work.

Students will turn scavenger hunt notes, interview details, and photo observations into a mini-magazine plan by writing a clear How Might We statement, building a simple design brief, sketching multiple portrait and article ideas, testing low-fidelity prototypes with classmates and school partners, and revising twice based on feedback before moving into final production.

Students will refine their portraits, self-portraits, captions, and short articles through one more user-validation cycle, then assemble polished mini-magazine pieces and practice a clear stakeholder-facing explanation of how feedback shaped their work before the Art Expo.

Students will present the finished class mini-magazine, portraits, self-portraits, and short articles to an authentic audience at the Art Expo, then reflect on how feedback, revision, and design choices helped them tell school stories clearly.
