Check out Kristine’s task here!

We were both asked to describe or narrate a scenario about something found a decade into a future. She was given the object of an instrument whereas I was given candy, her terrain was childhood and mine was algorithms, her mood was awkwardness and mine was happiness. Kristine chose to do some creative writing about the changes in the world in a decade and came across an “old” instrument. I had taken a slightly different approach by talking less about the economic changes of the world and more about coming across a “new” thing or technology in the future decade. I very much appreciated these different approaches to the task. 

Kristine chose to write a creative story, the ease with which she wrote and the flow of her story made it so enjoyable to read. It really drew me in and took me on a less-expected path for this assignment. I had really relied on the game structure proposed by Situation Lab: The Thing from the Future and developed my task under the guise as outlined in their game overview and rules. I thought it creative Kristine chose to take a more creative route and chose to write a story about the situation prosed. 

Her use of pictures to accompany her creative writing piece was a welcomed addition. It painted a picture in my mind of her hometown of Whitehorse as she reflected on her childhood experiences with the accordion.
