What roles do you practice?

Minigame Brief

If a teacher assigns Plot Twister 2 after a project, students will play Hat Counter, a minigame for identifying the roles, called Hats, they explored during that project.

The minigame instructs students to pick all of the Hats they practiced from a list. They can pick as many as they want. Then, they calculate how many Coins they have by answering these two questions about time and energy:

Draft of the Coin Calculator.

The calculator multiplies the Time Score and Energy Score together to equal the student's total number of Coins they can "spend" for that project. Students spend their Coins by dividing them across all the Hats they chose, based on how much they felt like they practiced that area of knowledge.

• There is a Plot Twister description of every Hat. This description is based on Role Model Reports who wear or have worn each Hat.
• If a student has certain Role Models picked, they can also see Role Models associated with each Hat.
• Hat Synonyms help index the relationality between common concepts or themes, making searching and sorting easier.
• If there is a nuance in a Hat that is not represented in the list, the student can contact the Hat Counter team to contest the definition.

Hat Counter can be found online after completing a to-do in the Plot Twisters Work Journal, or in the Plot Twister Playbook on seed paper.
