Revising mission template: important!

[mitramartin]

Hello any curriculum-content collaborators,

As I work to refine missions, I realize I'm not sure if we've yet found the right structure for the mission template.

Here is the current template: Descriptions / Steps / Tips / Bonus!

Here are some sections I think would be useful for missions that teach new movement material:

• "Builds on." A step they already know they can warm up with.
• The follower's part (structural)
• Any weird or particular or new movement the leader might need to try
• Key moments (where the trouble usually starts)
• Key techniques (from list)
• Expansion pack! Variations, ways to deepen or extend, games or explorations
• Things to interleave, to practice/test improvisation. E.g., other elements they know already that begin in a similar way

Thoughts? Mitra

@andreimoment, can you post the Anatomy of a Mission link to this discussion when it is up?

[andreimoment]

Yes I'll add the link.

As for the first message -- let's observe how people use the manual. I found myself and observed one buddy scroll directly to the video. The other buddy did read some of the steps.

I am wondering: wouldn't textual content. Ego d a certain length become overwhelming?

Lastly, these could be optional sections appearing only on certain missions and not on others.

I think we already have "tips". We could have "Builds on 1-F" as a link near the top, and "Key techniques" list, "Also try" list after the video. On Sat, Apr 29, 2017 at 2:18 PM Mitra Martin notifications@github.com wrote:

@mitramartin, @dorkydi, here's the anatomy of a mission page:

Update: moved all appendix files to the

https://github.com/andreimoment/tangomanual/tree/master/v1/appendix

folder.

@koreyi would love your thoughts on this!

[mitramartin]

hello @andreimoment , i don't think that tagging collaborators is working (issue #40) it will be so nice to figure out how collaborators can become part of this repository. i have issues i'd also like to discuss with thomas

[andreimoment]

Korey has been tagged properly. Maybe he hasn't responded yet?

@mitramartin, how about making additions to the few missions which cannot go without them and let a nomenclature grow organically from that?
