Narrative Brainstorm

Where: MAGNET 821

Participants: Gui Bueno, Others, Brad Tamura

Duration: 120min

Topics:

• How to create a nice, engagin narrative based on the idea of a LanguageBug?
• Explain initial ideas, expand ideas and settle on an initial version

Results:

• Each bug corresponds to a Principle, which causes a certain 'good infection'
• Listed initial suggestions of names, species and principles of main bugs
• Underlying narrative is that user has been bitten by one LanguageBug
• After that, this affects the learner's mental acitivty and perception
• This generates changes in behavior and a superior language learning ability
• I should avoid the word 'disease', and talk more about 'infections' only
• Possibly begin the presentation with a regular generic language app
• Then, the screen is taken by bugs and the user get bitten by them
