the right choices and the impact of the choices I have and how people

Assignment brief: A document that explains the task you are being asked Why not?
to do for your assignment Brainstorming is deemed politically incorrect because it is thought to be
It’s the thing you need to get a distinction offensive to people with brain disorders
It’s on Teams Ok then what can we say?
What’s that? Group think
Microsoft Teams Buzz session
Never heard of it Back and forth
It doesn’t matter Thought shower
Are you saying what I’m saying doesn’t matter Thought shower?
That’s not very collaborative Yep, Thought shower, Noun: a discussion in which new ideas are shared,
Why don’t we ask Jon generated and discussed
He’s mean Ok let’s thought shower, you two stand up
No he’s... actually you’re right I was thinking an American accent
Then ask Chloe then Can you do an American accent?
I’ll go find her No
Right let’s not waste time let’s get together Maybe not then
We’re not together Is it because you don’t believe in me?
That’s not very collaborative That’s not very collaborative
What? No it’s not that I don’t believe in you
They just left, we’re not together What is it then?
Ok well let’s be adaptable, let’s brainstorm It’s…
You can’t say that You don’t want me to express myself?

4
No it’s… Do well at what?
You hate me? Whatever this is
No What is it?
You do hate me Well, I don’t know but I am pretty sure we all have to join in
That’s not very collaborative I want to but for some reason I don’t. It’s like a voice in my head, it gets in
No I don’t hate you it’s just you said you can’t do an American accent my way, stops me. Sometimes that voice is a good thing and stops
So you saying I shouldn’t do an American accent because I can’t do an becomes saves. Sometimes it goes on and on and on… I gave it a name,
American accent? weird I know but still did it. Norman, that’s what I call it, Norman the
Yes voice in my head. Of course, I know that Norman is me, but he worries
Fair point too much. Next time he speaks, tells me not to, tells me don’t, tells me
Did you find Chloe? what if? I’m gonna say, Norman, I know you’re trying to help but shut up.
What? I remember I don’t have to listen. Then I remember Norman is trying to
Chloe did you find her? help. I apologise, I take a breath. Then, what I want to do, what I need to
Oh no I thought I’d grab a cheeky Panini and forgot why I went out do.
SO WE’RE STILL NO CLOSER TO FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET A What?
DISTINCTION AND WE HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING Nothing
That’s not true Am I a dick?
I don’t think eating panini counts towards final grades No.
It might do Really?
What? Well…
Cheeky panini, extra cheese equals distinction please What?
Look, if we want to do well No.

Yeah, but you said well. You hesitated. You can change, you know.
Did I? How?
Yes. You don’t have to be what you were yesterday.
No, I didn’t. That’s deep.
Yes, you did. Cheers.
Did I? So… how do I stop being a dick?
Yes. Maybe start by not calling yourself one every five minutes.
Well… But if it's true?
You did it again! I am a dick. Then change it.
Not all the time. Like a switch?
Part-time dick. More like… a dimmer. Takes time.
That’s… that’s well out of order. What if people don’t believe I’m trying?
You started it. Then keep going until they do.
It means you think it too. That sounds hard.
It doesn’t. Most decent things are.
It does. Everyone thinks I’m a dick. Including me. I need a 1-1. Do you think I’m a bad person?
Now? No.
Yep. But
Maybe that’s something you can sort later? No buts. You mess up. We all mess up.
What? Feels like I mess up more.
We’re kind of in the middle of something. Maybe. But you care. That counts for something.
Fair.

Does it fix anything? The brief, on teams, it says make a plan
Not on its own. But it’s a start. I am not appreciating your energy right now
So what do I do now? I’m just saying, it’s all here, there’s even examples
Maybe listen more than you talk. Not helpful
That’s vague. I am pretty sure it is, the folder is literally called helpful resources to
It’s a start. ensure you develop a successful collaborative project, it’s even got a list
I hate starting. of do’s and don’ts. Number 1; be kind
You hate staying the same more. Will you shut up, we are trying to plan for the day
True. Rule number 2; plan the session before you start it, this will support you
Thanks. to make the most of your time together
You’re welcome. Ok so… Make a plan
Still think I’m a dick sometimes though. Rule number 3; make sure everyone is allowed an opportunity to
Occasionally. contribute
Part-time. I’ve got a great idea
Part-time. This isn’t working, let me do it
Hey guys, just looking on Teams here, did you know there was a Rule number 4; let people know where you are, it is important to be
checklist? punctual and accountable, you may miss valuable information
Let’s not waste time, we’ve got to get started Agreed
Who has the plan? Someone comes back
What plan? What did I miss?
It does say on the brief we need a plan Where did you go? I don’t even know what I said, did anyone write it
What? down?

Nope Nope
Sorry Rule number 9; don’t panic, and don’t be negative, you’ve got this
I lost my pen Listen guys, I really don’t think this is even possible, we’ve got no time
I don’t own a pen and all my friends are in the other group

Look lets get back to that brain storm Dude that’s deep
Thought shower I know
Though shower thing… What do you wanna be when you grow up? What are you guys talking about?
Dunno, Dinosaur probably Marketing
Good answer You’re late.
Thanks man I know.
What would you do? Again.
Eat people starting with all the people that have challenged me then I Yeah.
move on to anyone who has challenged anyone I guess So?
No trial? Traffic.
Of course they would go on trial, dinosaurs are nothing without the You don’t drive.
necessary processes and justifications of law Buses have traffic too.
Nothing You live five minutes away.
Exactly There was… pedestrian traffic.
Exactly Pedestrian traffic?
Imagine that a world without bullies Loads of old ladies with trolleys. Very unpredictable.
That wouldn’t be a good thing Right.
Why not? One of them stopped and asked me for directions.
We’ve got to have something to fight otherwise we’ll have no chance to And that took thirty minutes?
build character a world without conflict is a world without character She was lonely.
Well yeah but fighting hurts You’re lying.
So can not fighting A bit.

Why? And you won’t hate me?
Because I don’t want you to be mad. No.
I’m not mad. Even if I’m late?
You’re definitely mad. Even then.
I’m disappointed. What if there are more old ladies with trolleys?
That’s worse. Then help them cross the road quicker.
I just didn’t want to come. Fair.
Then why didn’t you say that? So… no more excuses?
Because that sounds worse than lying. Try no more bad ones.
It doesn’t. What counts as a good one?
It does in my head. Honesty.
You know you don’t have to make excuses, right? Sounds risky.
Feels like I do. It is.
Why? Worth it?
Because if I stop making them, I’ve got nothing to hide behind. Probably.
Maybe stop hiding then.
Easy for you to say. Insert Song/Dance/Text
Not really. Is it recording?
What if I mess up again? Yeah.
Then you mess up again. Is it definitely on?
That’s it? Yes! Don’t shout, it’s recording.
Pretty much. Do we… start now?

10
This is starting. Speak for yourself.
It doesn’t feel like starting. I am.
Shh. Just talk. Be normal. Maybe it’s about excuses.
I don’t know how to be normal when I know it’s recording. Maybe it’s about home.
Just don’t think about it. Maybe it’s about being a part-time dick.
You literally pointed at it and said it’s recording. Maybe it’s about trying.
Fair. Maybe it’s about all of it.
So, what are we actually doing? Ok… so what’s first?
Making a play. Prologue?
About what? Song?
Us. Movement thing?
That’s self-indulgent. Then what?
Everything is, if you think about it too long. Then it settles.
Deep. Then someone says something true.
Thanks. Like what?
Should we introduce it? Like… this matters.
Like… “This is our story”? Does it?
No. Cringe. Yeah.
Maybe just be honest. I don’t want to get it wrong.
About what we’ve learned. You won’t.
What have we learned? I already did.
That we’re a mess. Then do it again, but better.

11
That’s easy for you to say. What?
No, it isn’t. Only joking
Why are we recording this? So that’s it
So we remember. Whatever it was
Remember what? Do you think we’ll get a distinction?
That we did something. Together. Don’t think that matters
Even if it’s rubbish? It’s about coming together
Especially then. Coming together to create
Ok… that was alright actually. Part-time failing
Really? Failing fast
Yeah. Learning quick!
Should we do it again? A winner is just a loser that tired again!
Why? I feel better now
Because this time… I want to mean it. What?
Go on then. Feel better... for coming in
Press record. So do I
It’s still on. So do I
Oh. I love you
Good. What?
Then let’s try again. Nothing
