About you (15 points) - Minimum 150 words
What kind of setting would you most like to play in? Why? What is it about this kind of setting you particularly like? What kind of character would be fitting in this sort of setting?
Pick a Setting and Make a Plot (20 points) - Minimum 200 words
Decide on a setting you'd like to make a plot for and briefly describe what it's like. Then use the method described in the lesson for making a plot. Describe the plot in some detail; what is happening, what can the players find out, what will it change, how will it drive a story forward.
First Post (20 points) - Minimum 200 words
You've learned about how to effectively start a plot. Now is your chance to show it. Make a first post of a Role Play which makes both the setting and plot clear. After that, write a short snippet about how you expect the plot to continue developing.
Playtime! (2-30 points) - 2 point per post made by you. Each post must be at least 100 words long to count.
Even though this class does not offer the chance to use the theories we learn in practice, it does not mean that you will not be able to get points for Role Playing. Send a snippet of a Role Play you've participated in to receive points for it: Each post made by you is worth two points as long as each post is at least 100 words long. All plays must of course comply with HOL rules. Make sure your Role Play partner(s) are alright with you sharing your play with me and make sure to clearly indicate which posts are yours. If you do not have a Role Play partner or simply wish to play both sides, you may do so as well.
Laughs and Tears (15 points)
Each laughing mask must have it's crying mask attached to it either directly above it, beside it, or below it. The first pair has already been made - they have a darker background than the rest. It's your job to pair up the remaining masks. The puzzle is the same as a Tents and Trees puzzle, just with masks, so you can think of the smiling masks as trees if that helps you.
