Objective: Create a title that communicates something is changing because of the research.
Duration: about 45 minutes
Task 1
Using current working titles,
- Write the title on strip of card
In pairs discuss:
- What does the current title tell you?
- To what extent does the title convey what has changed in the world as a consequence of your research?
Task 2
Take the strip of card and cut out each individual word. Place the ‘cut out’ title on the table.
In pairs identify and discuss:
- What is the operative verb (the word that communicates ‘change’)?
- What is the subject for/of change
- What is the driver?
- Doing what through what? – use own key words
- What needs to change in the title to better reflect the ‘details of impact’ (i.e. Section 4 of the template)?
Using blank pieces of card
- Swap/replace/insert/re-order/add and revise the title to better communicate the impact
- Write down the different versions created
Task 3
Promenade around all titles – write feedback/questions onto post-it notes for each (suggestions for better operative verbs; more succinct wording etc)
