We went over some of the questions and asked the students to come up with 1 fun question each. An example we gave them was: What would a visiting alien say is a huge problem on Earth?<\/em><\/p>\n Questions we collectively came up with are:<\/p>\n Whose fault is it that we are consuming plastic?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n What are the qualities of plastic? \/ <\/span>If plastic were a person, what would their personality be like?<\/span><\/p>\n Ailisha suggested we use lots of leaves to cover the top of the torso completely and we decided to go with green and\/or brown coloured outfit for the Earth Day final showcase. The leaves could be made of stiff paper or scrap fabrics.<\/p>\n Can be decorated with draped fabrics creating volume in certain parts of the tent. Richard made two suggestions: we make a green\/brownish stream out of the fabrics; we put pots of trash inside the tent at different corners – but keep it simple\/minimalistic\/clean and maybe only use plastic bottles. Raquel and I decided to check out the NYC based scrap fabric recycler FabScrap at the wharehouse to source some materials for our tent interior decoration and Earth Day outfits.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some aesthetic questions were addressed such as displaying the question at the top of the answer box, using a different layout that makes it obvious how many points a question is worth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Richard prepared a script for us to use on Earth Day based on his experience of Play Tech.<\/p>\n MC Script<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Intro:<\/span><\/p>\n Welcome to Trash Trivia! <\/span><\/p>\n A trivia that will make you smile, pollution won\u2019t be worth your while.<\/span><\/p>\n Everyone get comfortable first, adjust yourself to the setting, and let me explain the rules:<\/span><\/p>\n There will be two teams of 3, each side of chairs representing who\u2019s in what team.<\/b><\/p>\n To determine which team goes first, I will ask all of you to touch your noses. First team with all their members to do so, gets to go first.<\/span> <\/p>\n The board will display a question that will have multiple possible answers.<\/b><\/p>\n The team that has been decided to go \u00a0first will take their first guess to answer the question.<\/span><\/p>\n If they get it right, they will earn as many points as each answer\u2019s point worth.<\/span><\/p>\n At the bottom of a question will display each answer point worth in parenthesis.<\/span><\/p>\n Ex. (Each answer is worth 2 points)<\/span><\/p>\n However, if the team gets it wrong, they will receive no points at all.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Taking Turns:<\/span><\/p>\n Once a team has answered (regardless if they get it right or wrong), the opposing team will take their guess. Once they give their answer, their opposing team will guess again. <\/b>This cycle continues until the question is fully answered or if the time limit runs out. Each question will have a time limit of 4 minutes!<\/span><\/p>\n Once the question is complete, we will advance on to the next question.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Objective:<\/span><\/p>\n Team with the most points win! <\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Correct Question Responses:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat is correct! You get [insert number] points for answering correctly!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cYou guessed it! That would add [insert number] points to your total score!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Incorrect Question Responses:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat was a smart guess, but unfortunately it was incorrect.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cVery bright answer, but sadly it wasn\u2019t one of our top answers on the board.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Transition<\/span><\/p>\n Take a moment to observe the answers on the board. Think to yourself what you found shocking or interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n *wait for 10 seconds*<\/span><\/p>\n Is everyone ready? <\/span><\/p>\n Okay great! Moving on to the next question!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Conclusion:<\/span><\/p>\n (speak with enthusiasm and suspense)<\/b><\/p>\n That would conclude our game! I hope you found it fun, but now we are to reveal the winner\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n Drumroll please!<\/span><\/p>\n *dodododoododododododo*<\/span><\/p>\n (scorekeeper reveals total points of each team)<\/span><\/p>\n [Insert team name] is the winner!<\/span><\/p>\n But honestly, we all are the winners here for taking the time to play our game. <\/b>It\u2019s all about the knowledge gained during the experience. Mother nature is a beautiful thing and humans shouldn\u2019t be harming it any further.<\/span><\/p>\n We should all treat our home with respect, but unfortunately not a lot of people know the truth behind pollution\u2019s effects.<\/span><\/p>\n We thank you so much for your participation. <\/b><\/p>\n Have a nice day!<\/span><\/p>\n (on way out, someone hands out [biodegradable leafs] to participants)<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Raquel and I thought we should record some voiceovers of the kids saying things such as “That’s a creative answer, but it’s not what we’re looking for.” or “Better luck next time”. We wanted to use these instead of the current sound effect that plays everytime someone gets the answer wrong. But the kids liked the existing sound FX and thought it was fun. As a result we did not do the recording.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MC schedule:<\/p>\n 12-12.45pm Bolor\/Raquel<\/p>\n 12.45-1.30pm Iba\/Alisha<\/p>\n 1.30-2.15pm Kamali\/Pearl<\/p>\n 2.15-3pm Iba\/Alisha<\/p>\n 3-3.45pm Kamali\/Pearl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On our final LCCS visit, our team prioritized the following items: Trash Trivia questions We went over some of the questions and asked the students to come up with 1 fun question each.
