Bonus Task: Playstorm! [Jan. 16, 2012, 1:18 p.m.]
This task is best completed with a partner in crime. Just ask a friend to help you or pair up with another peer who is taking the same p2pu challenge. You can see all the peers who are taking the challenge under the task list.
To begin write down on pieces of paper or index cards the words from the two lists below and separate them accordingly in two piles; one should be mechanics and one should be goals.
List # 1 Mechanics; things your peers do in their challenge
producing
making
hacking
crafting
tinkering
exploring
debating
battling
showing
(add your own here)
List # 2 Goals; thinkgs your peers can make in their challenge
video tutorial
song
mockumentary
drawing
photo
game
robots
recipe
(add your own here)
Then write down on another piece of paper a short sentence that describes what you want your peers to understand, i.e."how the web works". Without looking have you or your peer pick a card from each pile, i.e. producing + video tutorial. Now spend no more than 10 minutes working together to combine them with the short sentence you wrote, i.e. "how the web works" and come up with some fun challenge ideas.
Complete this task by coming up with as many one sentence ideas for challenges. You can use this sentence as a guide;
In my _______(awesome title) challenge my peers will understand _______(what you want to teach) by _________ (mechanic) to make _________ (goal)
Here is an example.
In my "Web; The Movie" challenge my peers will understand how the web works by producing a mockumentary.
