Design Activity The Four Cs To explore and share what we know about the [insert: topic] based on the 4Cs: components, characteristics, challenges & characters 1
The Four Cs Description Today we will be working in small groups to brainstorm the COMPONENTS, CHARACTERISTICS, CHALLENGES and CHARACTERS that make up the [topic, e.g. university library]. We will then share our ideas as a larger group. 2
The Four Cs Components = parts/ pieces of the library Characteristics = features of the library Challenges = obstacles/barriers to using the UW Libraries Characters = people associated with the Libraries: who you might encounter when using them . 3
The Four Cs Instructions Your goal is to collect information about each C (components, characteristics, challenges, characters) from your own experiences, brainstorming, or by doing a bit of online searching. Step 1: Take 3 minutes to come up with a plan. Where will you gather information? Who will be the notetaker? Who will organize like terms & delete redundancies? Step 2: Use the next 20 minutes to gather information. Step 3: Use the next 10 minutes to re-organize your information into the matrix. Draw connections, make sure everything is in the place you want it to be, delete or combine redundant information.. Analyze what you have so far and its significance.. Step 4: Present your group s findings. 4
