On the Way to D2K

This is a hybrid (verbal/hand-on) challenge.

The Challenge:

Your team will use the props provided to tell a story

Scene:

Your homework assignment is to work with your DI team to tell the events leading up to your winning the State Championship and going to D2K in Ames, Iowa. Your team gets together and gathers up a bunch of props to use. The next day, just before you get up to give your presentation, the one member of the team that couldn't attend the planning session shows up with a bag of props that must be integrated into your presentation.

Materials:

Props provided:
Bag of props that are not shown to team until one minute prior to presentation.
1 sheet white notebook paper (maybe used to gather ideas but may not be used in the final presentation).
3 sharpened pencils

Directions:

Your team will have 5 minutes to write your story, based on the props provided and practice presentation. After the practice time is over, the team will be given several additional props and one minute to decide which props they can incorporate into their presentation. Your team will then have 3 minutes to present the story to the judges in any way you choose.

Scoring:

5 points for each full minute of the presentation
15 points for the overall originality of the story
15 points for the creativity of the interpretation of the pictures
5 points for the integration of each prop provided at the beginning into the story
10 points for the integration of each prop provided just prior to presentation into the story
25 points for the overall quality of the story (characters, theme, structure)
25 points for teamwork
