Narrative
Narrative, i.e. story-telling, in the course we used e.g. different ideation techniques, of which there were surprisingly many, the use of "Twinery" and at the end of the course a narrative synopsis was made.
Of the ideation techniques, I remembered stream of consciousness writing and the 6-3-5 technique the most.
Stream of consciousness writing stuck in my mind because you could just choose any topic and write about it without any restrictions.
The 6-3-5 technique stuck in my mind first of all because of that name, but the fun part was also that it was divided into teams of 6 people and each had to write 3 ideas on paper from the words given by the teacher in 5 minutes.
"Twinery" is a free story-telling tool that can be freely downloaded from the web or used in a browser, created specifically to facilitate the writing of interactive stories. I made a short interactive text adventure with this and I really liked using this tool, even though it took a while before I understood it properly.
