Eric Jaffe:  "Science confirms what Buzzfeed and Upworthy already know: In the hierarchy of digital contagion, content that evokes powerful emotions floats mercilessly to the top."

Nathalie Gloudemans-Voogd's curator insight, January 6, 2014 8:36 AM

"It's one thing to understand the emotions that compel a person to click. It's another thing entirely to produce them."

Sónia Laima's curator insight, January 6, 2014 9:16 AM

Magic! 

CIM Academy's curator insight, January 13, 2014 8:19 AM

Emotion, emotion, emotion....... if it helps stories go viral, then that endorses what advertisers have known for a while.

Seven steps to the perfect story is a great visual representation of how to build a story. This clearly explains the process of how students can construct their narrative and the types of characters they will use. I would definitely use this in my classroom to help students understand the process of creating a narrative.

Very cool! Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey illustrated with Lego figures. (Starts fully at slide 6.)

Strange to tell Joseph Campbell's Hero With A Thousand Faces with Lego characters but it flies by faster chan Campbell.
Martin (Marty) Smith's curator insight, January 7, 2013 8:55 PM

Could this 65 slide deck have saved me plowing through Joseph Campbell's Hero With A Thosand Faces? Not really, but its fun and flies by providing ADD insight into the basis of all stories.

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Simon Staffans:  "[...] I’m quite convinced that a well crafted story, standing on the foundation of a thoroughly thought-out and fleshed-out story world, filled with engaging points, calls to action, smaller arcs within the larger arcs… that such a story can accomplish almost anything you would want it to do, especially targeted in the right way and on the right media platforms to reach a well-researched target audience."
