In this hands-on workshop Participants receive a deck of seven 4” x 6” cards, one for every part of a simple research story. The workshop guides them through the creation of each part by drawing icons on designated cards. Participants re-organize the cards into a research “story” and use them to deliver their talk to a partner who provides feedback using the Storyform rubric. This entire process is time-pressured and gives the workshop a game-like quality.
This workshop may be augmented by additional sessions to allow participants more time to practice, get feedback, give feedback, and revise their talks.
This workshop introduces the Storyform method, materials, and tools and guides participants in the construction of a short talk about their research or science-related topic. This step-by-step process shows participants how to identify key elements of their work and map them on the Storyform template. Participants work in small groups to practice, give and receive feedback, and revise their presentations.
A Storygraphic can be used as a central piece on a research poster, in place of a research poster, or as a starting point to construct slides for a research talk. It can also be used to communicate research when the author is not present.
In this hands-on workshop participants receive a template with spaces for every part of their research story.
