Hi, everyone!

Developing characters is something I really enjoy, so I had a lot of fun putting together a twin set of MCs! This is the first of the two, Evangeline! I’d love if people would give her a read, and let me know what you think of her!

For clarification, I used the Classified Text Generator in a few spots. That way, I didn’t have to leave any information out, and those who had reached that part of the game would recognize what I was talking about regardless, but those who hadn’t wouldn’t be spoiled.

Name:

Hypatia Nadine Linwood, originally

Evangeline Nadine Desrosiers, currently

Usually goes by Vany

Initials spell “END,” which she finds hilariously ominous

Gender: Cisgender female

Age: 16 years old

Birth Date: October 20th

Species: Human (despite her mother’s insistence that they’re part Veela)

Blood Status: Pureblood

Sexuality: Openly homoromantic and homosexual

Alignment: Chaotic good

Ethnicity: Afro-European

Residence: A condo in Bristol

Myer Briggs Personality Type: ESTP-A, the Entrepreneur

1st Wand: When she was eleven, Evangeline was matched with a dogwood wand that was nine inches in length, with a dragon heartstring core.

2nd Wand: In her fifth year, after she unwisely challenged Madam Rakepick and had her wand broken as a result, Evangeline found herself paired with a spruce wood wand, this one nine and two thirds inches in length with a phoenix tail feather core. While she resents Rakepick for breaking her first, Evangeline does admit to feeling like her second wand suited her better.

Animagus: Evangeline never becomes an animagus.

Miscellaneous Magical Abilities: Unlike Jacob and Enola, Evangeline is not a born legilimens. However, just like her mother, she is a Seer. (Because that is just like her mother, isn’t it? To pass on the world’s shittiest super power?) Most of the time, this ability manifests in the form of a vague sense or a murky dream. To this day, she’s only had one proper vision, and it was when she was very small.

Boggart Form: Her mother showering her with praise, and saying she was proud of the witch she’d grown to be. This tends to confuse her peers, since it seems so positive—but Evangeline knows her mother. The narcissist that she is, Mireille would never have praised her like that unless she molded Evangeline into her double. That is Evangeline’s worst fear: becoming her mother.

Riddikulus Form: Mireille more or less being turned into a cymbal-banging monkey, with a kazoo in her mouth, cymbals in her hands, and a silly hat.

Amortentia: When Evangeline smells amortentia, the scent is a combination of broom handle polish, leather, and buttered toast. If someone’s amortentia were to smell like her, it would smell like cherry lip gloss, orange pekoe tea, and, again, broom handle polish.

Patronus: A crow. Although they’re best known for supposedly being an omen of death, they’re also believed to symbolize destiny, flexibility, and mischievousness.

Patronus Memory: About a month before Evangeline turned nine, there was a night where her entire family—Aunt Felicienne, Jacob, Enola, and Casper—all let her paint their nails. They all talked and laughed the entire night, drinking cocoa and admiring their nails, and it was the first time they felt like a proper family.

Mirror of Erised: Her family not only together again, but being treated with the respect they deserve. Her brother’s bad reputation erased, the whispers about her aunt for being a squib silenced, and the ghost of their parents’ actions exorcised.

Specialized/Favorite Spells: Evangeline has an affinity for fun spells, like Colovaria and Orchideous. They may not be the most practical, but is that such a crime? Not every spell can serve a greater purpose.

Physique:

Athletic build, due to her involvement in Quidditch

Strong limbs and a toned figure

5′8 in heigh

Eye Color:

Dark grey in color

Always decorated with pristine eyeliner and a light brush of mascara

Hair Color:

Deep brown

Occasionally experiment with different hair colors using Colovaria

Naturally curly, but is often straightened

Hip length (when straightened)

Skin Tone:

Light brown

Warm undertones

Body Modifications:

One piercing in each ear

Scarring:

Extensive burn scars on both forearms — gained at 7 years old

Thin scar directly across the bridge of her nose — gained at 25 years old

Inventory:

Her favorite cherry lip gloss

A bag of butterscotch candies

A hair clip or two

Her treasured leather journal.

Fashion: Though Evangeline consciously tries not to be vain, knowing it was one of her mother’s vices, she does take pride in her appearance, and enjoys looking good. When not outfitted in her school robes, she usually tries to aim for a classy, feminine sort of style. More often than not her outfits consist of trendy sweaters or turtlenecks (never t-shirts), tea length skirts, and oxford pumps. As for accessories, Evangeline is quite fond of dainty earrings and delicate silver rings, as well as pretty hair clips. The one exception to her style tastes is Erika’s sweaters: they’re over-sized, a little more traditionally masculine, and more worn out than Evangeline likes to let her clothes get. Still, she absolutely covets them.

Hogwarts House: Slytherin, house of the cunning and ambitious. It’s garnered such a reputation for being the “mean house” that people always seem to be surprised to learn that Evangeline was placed there. But, as she’s always quick to remind them, “mean” is not a requisite for being in Slytherin. It’s just an unfortunate trend.

Ilvermorny House: Thunderbird, house of the soul, home to the adventurer.

Affiliations/Organizations: Obviously, as first a student and then an alum, Evangeline is affiliated with Hogwarts. She also joins ███ ██████ ██ ██████ out of support for Enola, and, later on, is a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

Professions: After working as a spy for the Order during the second wizarding war, Evangeline builds a career as a grief counselor for magical children.

Class Proficiencies:

Astronomy: A

Charms: E

DADA: O

Flying: O

Herbology: P

History of Magic: A

Potions: A

Transfiguration: E

Electives:

Divination

Muggle Studies

Both are total goof off classes, considering she’s a Seer who was raised in a muggle community

Quidditch:

Seeker on the Slytherin team from third year onward

Played one season as a beater in her fourth year

Extra Curricular:

Art Club

Frog Choir

Favorite Professors:

Professor Hooch — fellow Quidditch lover

Professor Trelawney — endearingly kooky

Least Favorite Professors:

Professor Snape — killjoy

Professor Sinistra — uptight

Brother: The eldest of the Desrosiers children is Theron, who renamed himself Jacob after his parents’ death. Of his three younger siblings, he’s arguably closest to Evangeline, since she shares his charisma and occasional haughtiness. Evangeline understood, better than any of the others, how badly he wanted to restore both the Kastellanos and Desrosiers family names to their former glory. No, actually, not their former glory—a new glory, built on talent and respect, rather than on the subjugation of those considered “beneath” them.

Other Siblings: Older than Evangeline by six minutes, Enola is the second oldest Desrosiers sibling, and easily the one Evangeline is closest to. People can dismiss the notion of twin ESP all they want, but Evangeline believes it. Different as they may be, her and Enola have always been finely attuned to each other. They can read each other easily, and always know exactly what the other needs. There isn’t a chance they could ever be as close with someone else as they are with each other.

Evangeline also has a younger brother. Helios Kastellanos, renamed Casper by their Aunt Felicienne, is five years younger than the twins, and truth be told, Evangeline’s never had too strong of a relationship with him. It’s not like they argue, or they hate each other. They’ve just...never connected. He’s always clung to Enola, so Evangeline figures that it’s a trade off she had to make. She gets to be close with Jacob, at the cost of being close with Casper. Enola gets to be close with Casper, at the cost of being close with Jacob. It evens out.

Father: Truth be told, Evangeline remembers very little of her father, Proteus. Beyond not spending a lot of time at home, Proteus was more concerned with his male heirs than either of his daughters. Everything Evangeline knows about him, she’s learned secondhand, and even then, it’s very little. Felicienne and Jacob always waved off her questions, telling her she didn’t want to know about him, Enola remembered as little as she did, and Casper was only three when he died. Evangeline knows that he was a Death Eater, and that’s more or less it.

Mother: Now, her mother, Mireille, on the other hand...Evangeline remembers her quite vividly. Mireille was a woman who prided herself on beauty more than anything, and wanted to raise her daughters to be just the same—as long as they were never more beautiful than she was. Though she came from a family of blood purists, Mireille was the first Desrosiers to become a Death Eater, and Evangeline suspects that she got in over her head. It’s her theory that the stress drove Mireille crazy, and that was why she was so prone to paranoia and explosive bursts of anger. One of Evangeline’s most vivid memories of Mireille attempting to throw a pot of boiling water in her face when she was seven years old; Evangeline threw up her arms to defend herself, and she still bears the scars from the attack all these years later.

Love Interest: Evangeline has a big, fat, gay crush on Erika Rath, and she’s not ashamed to admit it. She’d already been attracted to her on an entirely physical level, and then Evangeline had to seek out her tutelage when the Slytherin team was short a Beater. Discovering the awkward, uncertain girl that existed beneath the gruff exterior completely sealed the deal. They bonded over their love for Quidditch, continuing to train together even when Evangeline switched back to playing Seeker, and with time, came to find that they really enjoyed each other’s company. Evangeline could make Erika laugh like no one else, and Erika felt like one of the only people Evangeline could be entirely herself with, even if that meant exposing the ugly pieces of herself as well as the polished ones. Finally, Evangeline asked Erika to the Celestial Ball, and the rest was history. It’s rather funny to see them side by side, with Erika, perpetually dressed in her jersey and scowling, towering over Evangeline, with her pressed skirts and sunny smiles.

Best Friends: One of Evangeline’s dearest friends at Hogwarts is local contraband dealer, Jae Kim. Truth be told, he was initially quite intimidated by her. He couldn’t put his finger on it, but despite Evangeline’s bubbly disposition, something about her always struck him as distinctly...eldritch. Like she was something unusual, and not entirely human. Maybe it was just the way she could flip her emotions on a dime, entirely of her own volition. Watching her be seething mad and then slap on a bright, sunny grin as she turned away, easy as flipping a switch, was unnerving. Regardless, the two bonded throughout their time spent in detention, and Enola is quite proud to boast that she’s one of the few people that can almost wrangle Jae into following the rules.

She’s also quite close with Penny Haywood and Diego Caplan, two Hufflepuffs who share Evangeline’s popularity and social skill. Evangeline likes to joke that she’s “Penny, but with edge.” Penny gets a kick out of it. Diego, on the other hand, did initially have slightly selfish reasons for befriending Evangeline—namely, his hope that she could help him get closer to Enola, who he had a crush on—but ended up genuinely bonding with her somewhere along the way. She’s his favorite dueling and dancing partner, and they trust each other more than anyone seems to realize.

Rivals: Some people might not understand how two people on the same team can be rivals, but Evangeline and Skye Parkin make it work. It’s not a mean rivalry by any means, but it’s an intense one, with both of them aiming to be the star player on the Slytherin Quidditch team. Evangeline also considers herself rivals with Emily Tyler, who reminds her uncomfortably of her mother, and Merula, who competes with her in, well, everything.

Enemies: Logically, Evangeline knows that there’s really nothing wrong with Talbott Winger. He’s an entirely decent guy, who minds his own business and keeps his head down. She has no reason to dislike him the way she does. But she just can’t help it. Maybe it’s his aloofness that rubs her the wrong way—Evangeline’s always liked to be liked, not to mention the nosy streak she possesses and she finds people that reserved and guarded frustrating. Maybe it’s the fact that she thinks he has eyes for her sister, when Enola could definitely do better. (Of course, this is only Evangeline’s perception. If she really wanted to know who had eyes for Enola, she’d have better luck looking at her best friend, Jae.) Either way, Evangeline isn’t a fan.

Dormmates: Evangeline shares a dorm with Rowan Khanna, Liz Tuttle, Skye Parkin, and her twin sister, Enola.

Pets: On the record, Evangeline has only one pet, and it’s a very old, exceptionally grumpy, melanistic Sphynx cat named Toodles. Despite being more or less a crotchety old man in cat form, Toodles is absolutely the light of Evangeline’s life, and she dotes on him like he is her actual child. The amount of money she’s dropped on Toodles is honestly kind of staggering, but Enola insists that it’s entirely necessary. Sphynx cats require a lot of careful care, and if Evangeline has her way, Toodles is only going to get the best of the best.

However, off the record, Evangeline has also grown unusually close to one Thestral in particular. She’s been sneaking into the Forbidden Forest to study them since she was in her 2nd year, and during one such excursion, she witnessed a Thestral foal being birthed. Since it provided a prime opportunity to study the life cycle of a Thestral, Evangeline focused most of her observations on that foal, which she named Melinoe, after the Greek goddess of ghosts and spirits. It took some time to build trust, but eventually, Melinoe and Evangeline were thick as thieves, and Melinoe greeted her like an excited puppy whenever she came to visit the forest. Leaving Melinoe behind is perhaps what Evangeline’s dreading most about her graduation from Hogwarts.

Closest Canon Friends: Jae Kim, Penny Haywood, Diego Caplan, Nymphadora Tonks, and Tulip Karasu.

Closest MC Friends: Outside of Enola, none yet, but looking!

Pre-Hogwarts: Hypatia was born the third child of Proteus and Mireille Kastellanos. She spent the first eight years of her life in Greece, living on her father’s family estate, roaming the grounds with her siblings, enjoying the abundance of wealth at her fingertips. It should’ve been a charmed life...but it wasn’t. See, Proteus and Mireille were both Death Eaters, and neither were much suited for parenthood. It was a household strife with unease and contempt, and if the ruthless mental (and occasionally physical) abuse Hypatia experienced wasn’t enough, her childhood was also plagued by terrible visions. In this visions, an explosion burst in her family parlor, leaving both her parents dead on the floor.

Then, when she was eight years old, the premonition came true. Aurors raided the manor, and in the ensuing fight, both Proteus and Mireille were killed, with their two young daughters bearing witness. The children were whisked away from the home, and eventually sent to live with their maternal aunt, Felicienne Desrosiers. A squib who had fled her Pureblood-supremist family to live in England, Felicienne was hardly equipped to take on four young, magical, traumatized children, but still, she stepped up to the plate, determined not to fail them the way that their parents had.

The first thing she did? She sat them down, and helped them choose out new names. While her family name wasn’t exactly sparkly clean, it carried less of a stigma than their father’s. And thus, Hypatia Kastellanos died with her parents, and Evangeline Desrosiers was born.

From that point on, Evangeline grew up to be a rather well-adjusted girl. Or, as well-adjusted as a girl with her experiences could be. The only real point of concern was the fixation she began to develop with death; she played funeral director far more often than she ever played princess, and was prone to checking out books on embalming methods from the local library. However, she wasn’t hurting anyone or thing and showed no desire to, so Felicenne decided it wasn’t anything to worry too much about. It was simply Evangeline’s way of coping. Throughout the years, Evangeline found happiness with her new family, and despite Jacob’s disappearance, despite Felicenne’s failing health, Evangeline is determined to protect that happiness.

2nd Wizarding War: As the war starts picking up steam, Evangeline establishes her allegiance to The Order of the Phoenix, and starts working as a spy, able to rely on her charisma and family heritage to gain the trust of dark wizards. She’s not accepted into the inner circle, not nearly, but she’s silver-tongued enough to get information from those that are. During this time, she secretly elopes with her long-term girlfriend, Erika Rath. She fights in the battle of Hogwarts, and in doing so, gains a scar directly across the bridge of her nose.

Post-War: Following the war, Evangeline finds that her ambitions have changed. Despite having wanted for years to be a mortician, she finds that the idea now lacks the appeal it did when she was young. Perhaps she’s just seen enough death. Still, she’s determined to put all of her years of research to use. She ends up finding her calling providing grief counseling to children, and, specifically, to magical children. She makes the unconventional choice to train Thestrals as a sort of therapy animal for children who have witnessed death. Her and Erika, now going public with their marriage, also adopt a set of siblings—an eight year old named Winifred, and a six year old named Josephine, the daughters of a friend of Erika’s who was, unfortunately, killed in the war. It’s difficult, considering both girls are old enough to remember and miss their parents, but Evangeline’s grief training comes in handy in helping them cope with the loss. It may take time, but eventually, they do truly feel like a family.

There's a lot more to Evangeline than there appears to be at a glance. Upon first meeting, she seems...well, vivacious. She loves to laugh and lights up a room with her smile alone, and is playful and a little mischievous by nature. She's also quite the hopeless romantic, and ultimately wants to end up happy with someone she loves. Some may say that this makes her pathetic, but she doesn't view it that way at all. What's so wrong with wanting to be happy?

Though Evangeline may not hand out her trust too quickly or freely, she is always willing to provide a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on. Her loyalty to those who find a place in her heart is admirable, especially when it comes to her family, and she would willingly fight to the death to protect those she loves. She always finds some way to show her affection, whether it's through a warm hug when one is needed or a good laugh provided when sadness seems to be taking over. She’s charismatic and enigmatic and attractive, and most everyone she meets consider her to be a delightful young woman.

And then her smile sharpens just slightly, glinting like light on the blade of a dagger, and all of a sudden, it’s abundantly clear why she was sorted into the house of the cunning.

Now, the image Evangeline puts forth isn’t a lie. She is genuinely friendly and outgoing, and the majority of the time, everything she says and does is sincere. However, certain traits are exaggerated because she wants to present a specific image of herself—or rather, she wants certain parts of her to go unnoticed, so she emphasizes the ones she wants people to see and lets the other ones slip out of the edges of their perception.

Beneath the girlish laughter and perfect grins is a master manipulator, always poised for battle, whether they be fought with words or fists. The sweetness, the flattery, the pretty little smiles, they coax information out conversations faster than threats ever did. A true Slytherin at her core, Evangeline has long since learned how to use her beauty and natural charisma to get what she needs out of people and accomplish her goals, which are, fortunately, mostly altruistic. Who knows what sort chaos she could wrought, if she put her mind to it?

Total theater kid. She attended muggle primary schools prior to Hogwarts, and you can bet your bippy she jumped on every opportunity to get on stage that she was offered. Notable roles include Belle in Beauty and the Beast, the Wicked Witch of the West (ironically enough) in The Wizard of Oz, Wendy in Peter Pan, and Queen Zixi in Queen Zixi of Ix.

It’s no secret that Evangeline’s one premonition was of the raid that her parents died in. Her siblings all know, and none of them blame her. She was just a child; she didn’t understand what she was seeing. The secret is that, even if she had understood, Evangeline doesn’t think she would’ve warned anyone.

Minecraft Monster Traps

Educators have had many challenges over the past decade as the educational system has undergone change driven by new government and group insurance policies geared toward enhancing educational outcomes and shifting focus in step with changing career and trade landscapes. And like every giant trade, there was much disagreement internationally with among the modifications, most famously in recent time adding the "A" for arts to STEM to evolve it into STEAM education. And as blended and multimodal learning positive aspects more and more credibility, a common query that invokes debate is whether or not STEAM academic games can be used as a severe instructional software within the teacher’s toolbox. Games naturally assist this form of schooling. Some consultants argue that games are, at the start, studying techniques, and that this accounts for the sense of engagement and leisure gamers experience. STEAM educational games are designed to create a compelling complicated problem space or world, which players come to know by self-directed exploration. Their meta-game and quest systems are designed to deliver just-in-time studying and to use information to help players understand how they are doing, what they should work on and the place to go next.

To kill the monster with this lure, you could use a bow and shoot on the monster twice through a hole in one of many doorways with a bow and arrow. You was once in a position to make use of a sword and swing through the holes in the door, however that may simply open the door. If you happen to do accidentally open the door whereas a creeper is trapped, rapidly close the door and back up fast, so the creeper does not blow up the trap or you. This trap is one of the simple to construct, in addition to the door lure. It mostly simply entails digging a pit, and no crafting is totally mandatory. Dig a gap 4x4. Place glass, or one other block, lining two sides, as depicted to the proper in image 1. Then, dig down any variety of blocks in the 2x4 space in the center of the opening. I dug down 6 blocks further than what was already dug, for a total of 7 blocks deep.

Just a few extra flowers may also grow in the basic biomes, and new mushrooms will pop up in every single place, including inside of caves. Speaking of the configuration file, which may actually be the perfect part of this mod. Everything in the mod is adjustable, from the amount of water on the earth, to whether the brand new gadgets are added to dungeon chests, even the doable places for villages and strongholds can be modified. You may also disable or regulate how frequent every area is, in addition to disable the adjustments to every individual vanilla biome. As great as these options are, in all probability the biggest cause for the mod's popularity is that there really is little or no that may be thought of mistaken with it. There are sometimes extreme differences between biomes which could make it extremely apparent once you spot a new space, but that was already an issue in the original game. Just like in vanilla Minecraft the villages can generate into hilly terrain and turn out to be slightly odd looking, although this can be exacerbated by the higher terrain of the mod's extra mountainous areas. And one other difficulty alongside borders is that taller areas can have the terrain of close by biomes proceed to look fairly far up their sides, which makes for weird conditions like beach sand "climbing" halfway up the Alps. This again, is a normal Minecraft situation, and really virtually all of its issues are basically just the sport's normal issues strengthened by the mod's love of variety. Otherwise, it is extremely stable and compatible with just about every other mod. Sign in or join and publish utilizing a HubPages Network account.

I really dig Crowfall. I actually have my share of bias as an investor, however I’ve been following this effort since before they even introduced their Kickstarter. Right off the bat, I felt like Crowfall was going to be something special. I don’t expect it to be everyone’s cup of tea even after they get to release, however I definitely think they’re bringing an thought that may change the way in which video games are made from now on. The idea of randomly producing maps isn’t a brand new one, nor is PvP. Smashing the 2 collectively to create dynamic worlds that live, change, and die over time is new, though. What’s more, it scratches an itch that I believe has been plaguing the MMORPG style for a really long time. The late 90s kicked off a two-decade-long run with MMOs. For the primary a number of years, avid gamers would pick their favorites from a relatively small listing of options and then stay with that game for a 12 months or two earlier than moving on to the next. As time’s gone on and extra MMOs can be found, many from smaller and really artistic studios, the time players stay with any of them has persistently gotten shorter.

Weekly Reading Responses:

Week 1:

a. Review the Client Brief and identify 3 of Northshore's 'assets'.

Supporting space:

- Location

- Tennis court

- the deck

b. What kind of story do you think you could tell about Northshore and its history?

I think a nautical element or something to do with how the space was used as a port and the future of Northshore. Possibly tie in something about the environment.

Week 2:

a. findings from the site visit, and the short article by PPS, 'How to Transform a Waterfront'? (https://www.pps.org/article/turnwaterfrontaround

The main locations that really stood out to me were:

- The shed

- The water tank

- Also considered the open spaces of land that had equipment on it (timber etc.)

I first had thoughts about using and the water tank for art installation spaces. The shed could be used for the same thing and also many more including a community space. I definitely that the existing destinations could be improved upon. At the moment the space is not lively, there was no shade, it’s a bit daggy and needs lots more action and colour going on before people see Northshore a space to come and enjoy themselves.

b. Barangaroo Reserve case study and Sarah Barn's article, 'Arrivals and Departures: Navigating an emotional landscape of belonging and displacement at Barangaroo in Sydney, Australia'

I personally think that the Barangaroo case study relates significantly to Northshore in a sense that they took a space which was once cherished and loved for what it was useful for and as it dated, it was turned into something which celebrates the memories of the area. I think that because of NorthShore’s historical context of it being Brisbane’s first port, lots of significant activities would have taken place at the port. People might have negative/positive connotations as the port is where I assume refugees would have arrived into Brisbane. People, like my grandfather, used to work as a ships captain and he worked at Northshore when it was a port. So, people like him who used to work in the area it would remind them of those days.

Week 3:

a. see 'Ideas Creativity and Innovation' - Chapt 2 in The Idea Agent

Idea process:

- Need

o Establishment of the project basis and framework (brief)

- Idea generation

o Methods and techniques are applied to this framework

o Use wide range of perspectives

- Screening and development

o Overview all ideas that fulfil the framework

o Ideas are reduced but quality is improved

- Enrichment

o Develop ideas more deeply taking them to a new level (graphic and illustrations)

- Result

According to the reading, Definition of innovation is:

Creativity – conceiving a new idea. Strategy – analysing the idea’s originality and usability.

Implementation – setting the unique, usable idea into motion and testing it in the real world. Profitability – maximizing the unique, usable idea’s added value.

This one really spoke to me as I never thought of it form this point of view. There are so many people out there trying to be “innovative” for their projects, or art work or what have you. There is already so much out there creating a really competitive space. However, I think we can use this to our advantage and pick parts from all different projects and bring them into one. There is very rarely going to be a project or idea that overlaps with another.

b. measures of success

Project success factors:

1. clear goals & agreement with project team

2. a statement showing: overall direction and roles/responsibilities

3. communication

4. controlled scope

- everyone to understand time frames

- brief

- idea (Inso/research/observations)

- curatorial rationale (work statement)

- what is it

- how is it different

- what makes it relevant/unique

- goals/objectives (hope to achieve)

- where to present it (location/ audiences/ multiple venues)

- team & stakeholders

- design/prototype (exhibition plan)

- resources (funding/time/people)

- plan (timeline/contingencies/different components/build on it)

Week 5:

a. slides from Lecture 4 & reading 'Community Development and Systems Thinking' by Spruill, Kenny and Kaplan, 2001).

“To understand the complex interactions that occur among elements of a system, can be especially helpful when a consultant is involved in a process of progressive, highly participatory community development.”

This reading was really refreshing to me because a huge factor I took from it was to sincerely have people’s interest at heart and to have the intention to better the community and space you live in. Personally, this had already come to my mind, however, it was just awesome to see evidence that other people truly care, and it made me super enthused for the subject.

From the lecture and the reading, I came to the understanding that an education element as well as an interactive element would really help to bring this community space to life. I like this section; The goal of using systems thinking in a community setting is to have community participants shift from being reactors to viewing themselves “as active participants in shaping their reality, [to move] from reacting to the present to creating the future.”

b. Chapter 3 - 'Know your Key Stakeholders and Win their Cooperation' (in Fast Forward MBA in Project Management by Eric Verzuh, 2008),

STAKEHOLDERS:

Week 7:

a. points on prototyping

I think from relevance form the lecture, readings, and group discussions, our group believes the following methods will be most effective to develop an accurate prototype/’s.

- Create an accurate atmosphere for the viewing audience

- Not just show but make them feel

- Make it clear

- Create different elements to your prototype

o Physical

o Digital

§ Photos

§ Videos
