Dr. Kirsti A. Dyer
http://www.journeyofhearts.org/kirstimd/tellstory.htm
“Storytelling is a part of life, intrinsic to most cultures. They help people make sense of the world--life's experiences, dilemmas and hardships. !Stories can educate, inspire and build rapport. They are a means of communicating, recreating, and helping preserve cultures by translating memories into a more concrete manner that can be handed down verbally or in written form. !Telling the story can provide the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of one's experiences and oneself. “
Clay Shirky
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyeihMTB2mE"feature=share"t=19m35s
“Stories organize our sense of reality. !Stories are how we process facts. !Stories are like food we consume that helps us turn into who we are.”

@leesean
Meu Rio is redesigning the user interface for civic participation in Rio de Janeiro. !We are a non-partisan democratic youth movement. We create online tools to connect citizens and ensure that they have a voice in the decisions that are transforming the city.

@leesean
Our ValuesWe believe that increased participation by youth and members of the emerging middle class in the political process will help bring about greater accountability and transparency. !We are non-partisan and independent. We don’t accept money from government or political parties. !We believe that the internet can serve as a school for a more robust democracy. !We are committed to open source sharing. We value remix and reuse.
68
@leesean
Evaluating Campaign Themes▢ RIPE ! SALIENT Is the issue in the news/being talked about? Is it something that has strong public support and a groundswell of concern among our target audience? !▢ ACTIONABLE Can Meu Rio or its members “do” something about the issue? Is there a concrete and plausible political, social, or cultural action that can be taken to affect change? !▢ POLITICAL/CULTURAL IMPACT Meu Rio’s goal is to build a more participatory and open political culture in Rio. While not every campaign needs to directly influence the political process, each campaign should have some short, medium, or long term political objective or impact on behavioral/cultural change among the citizens of Rio. !▢ COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE Is this an issue or campaign where Meu Rio can take a leadership role while working with other partner organizations working in the same space? Does Meu Rio have a comparative advantage because of our member base, brand equity, and/or innovative use of technology? !▢ EARNED MEDIA/LIST GROWTH Will running the campaign generate free earned media and/or promote Meu Rio membership growth?
69
@leesean
Evaluating Tools ! Tactics ▢ CONNECTIVE Does it relate to existing user behaviors and social dynamics? Does it bring the community tighter together or connect people closer with their decision makers? !▢ PARTICIPATORY Is it open-ended enough to invite participation but guided and usable enough to actually use? !▢ USER SERVICE Does it have a clear theory of change? Does the experience inspire, delight, or motivate users? !▢ SCALABLE Does it “work” (both technologically and compelling for users) for 5 users as well as it does for 5 million)? !▢ REUSABLE Can it be reused/repurposed by Meu Rio for future campaigns and not just a one-off novelty? !▢ HACKABLE Is it open source/open API? Can it be reappropriated by users/hackers in new, exciting, unexpected ways or used by other cities/movements? !▢ AWESOME/INTANGIBLES Is it “magical”? Compelling in an intuitive/emotional way? Does it have that certain “je ne sais quoi”?

2 Basic Building Blocks of a Story !(1) The anecdote (2) The moment of reflection !In a good story you need both -- you can flip back and forth between the two. The Anecdote and the Moment of Reflection are interwoven to make a story. !!
http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2007/03/ira_glasstips_o.html
Ira Glass
(1) The anecdote, a sequence of actions, a story in its purest form, one thing following from another (rather than just disjointed "facts"). !"The Power of the anecdote is so great...No matter how boring the material is, if it is in story form...there is suspense in it, it feels like something's going to happen. The reason why is because literally it's a sequence of events...you can feel through its form [that it's] inherently like being on a train that has a destination...and that you're going to find something..."
http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2007/03/ira_glasstips_o.html
Ira Glass
(1a) Raise questions. !Provide the "bait" (the hook) The anecdote should raise a question right from the beginning. Implied in any question that you raise, however, is that you are going to answer it. !Constantly raise questions and answer them. The shape of the story is that you are throwing out questions and answering them along the way. !
http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2007/03/ira_glasstips_o.html
Ira Glass
(2) The moment of reflection. !What is the key point? What does this all mean? Why have I asked you to sit and listen for 30 min, etc. It is not just a series of facts/events. !Many people get the first part, they tell an interesting sequence of events, but in the end it fails because it doesn't say anything new, it did not have meaning. And sometimes people have the reflection part and the question is clear in their mind, but they fail to put it in a sequence that compels people to follow and engage. !! http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2007/03/ira_glasstips_o.html

Handout: Telling Your Public Story Worksheet
Telling Your Public Story !A good story public story is drawn from the series of choice points that have structured the “plot” of your life – the challenges you faced, choices you made, and outcomes you experienced. !
Marshal Ganz
Telling Your Public Story !Challenge: Why did you feel it was a challenge? What was so challenging about it? Why was it your challenge? !Choice: Why did you make the choice you did? Where did you get the courage – or not? Where did you get the hope – or not? How did it feel? !Outcome: How did the outcome feel? Why did it feel that way? What did it teach you? What do you want to teach us? How do you want us to feel? we process facts. !
Marshal Ganz
Elements of a Public Story !A story of self: why you were called to what you have been called to. !A story of us: what your constituency, community, organization has been called to its shared purposes, goals, vision. !A story of now: the challenge this community now faces, the choices it must make, and the hope to which “we” can aspire. !
