  Story-maker  
Using knowledge to change yourself or others
In this role you will use existing knowledge to build or make a new story that tries to make sense of the way the world works, and in particular how your project worked.
This may not necessarily be a written story-- you could express your ideas through making a painting, sculpture, piece of music, drama (play or video), game or by constructing a piece of 'box-art' for one of the Cabinets.

What story-makers need:

Curiosity - about how people work - feel, think, learn and make sense of the world.
Sensitivity -  to recognise new ways of linking ideas with each other and with their consequences.
Judgement - to decide what are the important parts to include in the story, what to leave out; to judge how other people will react to your story.
 
Pod-projects:
How can you make a story of your project that explains -
       What were you curious about?
       What roles did you play? - explorer, detective, builder?
       What problems did you have to overcome?
       What has changed in the world (what did you make or build)?
       What has changed in you (what have you learnt)?
How can you  use this story to make 'idea sheets' for the Cabinet, that will  inspire other children to take an interest in the topic of your project?

What kinds of people are story-makers?
Writers, artists, sculptors, film-makers, musicians.
