  Lesson 14. Kay’s Great Action Set Piece!

  What I learned doing this assignment is there is always new research & news to add to story line”

  1. Build in the meaning.

  Pre-Action: Senior center on 18^th St., SF. A couple blocks from Mission High & Dolores Park. A few short blocks to Castro district. In community room, seniors pursue individual hobbies or play chess. Lots of topical discussions. Background music: Tupac

  Action: Sad news about Juan, a popular volunteer, accidental overdose.

  Post-Action: Each senior begins personal & group research (phones, laptop, newspapers, library websites, census websites) on fentanyl epidemic, discussions & developing an action board in their community room.

  2. Make the Action Unique.

  STEP 1: List your 9 Places For Uniqueness.

  1. Senior Center, community room

  2. Window overlooking street parking

  5. Downtown SF business tower, interiors

  6. Mac Janssen Office

  7. Several hallucinations

  8. Split screen of divestment actions worldwide

  STEP 2: Use Strategies For Uniqueness to elevate them.

  Seniors using chess strategies to discuss actions
