Mitra, here is feedback for mission 4E - Caminar.
Neither Kim nor I could figure out what the mission was supposed to be.
It's probably very obvious to you. "How could you guys not get it?" So, here are the guesses that went through my head.
When I read the steps, it seemed like it was simply learning to walk in close embrace. But that could not be because it's the E-th mission. Walking is so basic that mission A or B should have covered it.
I have no clue what caminar means. It sounds like it's some kind of special move. Or does it maybe simply mean walking. The mission offers no hint.
Kim looked at the video. The video showed how to do foot circles in close embrace. Now that has nothing to do with the first steps of the mission. I can't really find information about how to lead those circles in the mission. So, maybe the mission isn't about foot circles either.
Having read it in the peace of my home. I start to suspect that the mission is maybe simply about walking in close embrace. And the foot circle is a bonus idea that's thrown in without any explanation.
There is an example from writing class that I can't find anymore. Here is my simple recreation. It's a fictional letter exchange between a plumber and the safety department.
Plumber: "I have a really nasty plugged pipe. Can I use sulfuric acid to clean it?"
Safety department: "Sulfuric acid is a ferrous reagent. We counsel you to consider alternatives."
Plumber: "Thank you for that great information. I love it. But I'd still like to know about my plumbing problem. Can I use sulfuric acid?"
Safety department (doesn't feel understood and tries to make its case with more facts): "Ferrous material has an electron in the second plane that'll jump to the bond of the sulfuric acid. The Ferrous atom will become radicalized and free float..."
Plumber: "Wow, that went way over my head. But thank you for going to such depth to confirm that I can use sulfuric acid to clean the drain."
Safety department (panicked that the sulfuric acid may be used): "Don't use sulfuric acid! It'll destroy your metal pipes!"
Plumber: "I found that out myself. It eats the heck out my pipes. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The equivalent for the mission would have been something like: "This is a basic walking exercise in close embrace." "Warm up by practicing leg extensions."
