Settings Submission Required

Students revisit their How Might We statements, short story notes, and user interview summaries, then learn a fast brainstorm routine using categories such as narrative scene ideas, zine features, text-evidence inserts, and visual symbols of inclusion or exclusion. In teams, they add many ideas to chart paper or sticky notes and sort them into themes that connect back to belonging. The class closes with a quick pair-share circle using one text detail and one real-user insight to explain why an idea could matter.
