Students at NYU asked the creators of South Park the million-dollar question: “What makes a good story?” They gave one of the best explanations of story I’ve heard: “If we can take the beats of your outline, and the words ‘and then’ belong between those beats… you got something pretty boring. What should happen between every beat you’ve written down is the words ‘therefore’ or ‘but.’” They go on to say, “That gives you the causation between each beat, and that makes a story.” Point 1: There’s an idea in storytelling called ‘Promise, Progress, Payoff.’ Essentially, a story is a neverending cycle of promises that are paid off over the span of the story. It’s a cycle of expectation and resolution. Cause and effect. Conflict and progress. Point 2: A story isn’t a bunch of random events thrown together. A story is a series of but / because / therefore moments. A famous example: • Harry discovers he's a wizard. Because of this, he goes to learn magic at Hogwarts. • But then he learns Voldemort wants to kill him and rule the world. • Therefore, he must find a way to defeat him. Point 3: ‘And’ implies a simple continuation. ‘But / Therefore’ give prior events meaning through causation. ‘But’ implies conflict. ‘Therefore’ implies progress. I’m reminded of a Hemingway quote: “Prose is architecture, not interior decoration.” Great writing is intentional. It doesn’t wander. It builds upon itself. *** I hope you enjoyed that!

@lrnchat A7 listening, communication and documentation skills, collaborating, brainstorming, pushing the boundaries #lrnchat

Q7) What skills outside of "ID" do IDers need to develop? #lrnchat

@lrnchat A2 one big thing that has shifted is the field has evolved and now (thankfully) is more open to get started without a ID degree or background. There is still a lot of work to break away from the concept of one person does everything. #lrnchat

Q2) What are some of the biggest changes you’ve seen since the first book? What's improved in the learning industry? #lrnchat

@lrnchat A1 - yes, I have heard dozens of stories of how people get started in ID. I love when people come from diverse backgrounds with so much to learn, share and bring fresh ideas to the field. #lrnchat

Q1) Is it really “just that easy” to accidentally become an ID? Why/why not? #lrnchat

I’m tweeting from Cape Cod, little bit cooler tonight but love the breeze. Today I leaned about a new inclusive design process and how to conduct. #lrnchat
