I am using the word Narrative to replace the Behaviorist theory of instructional sequence and the Constructivist theory of content structuring. I’m using the word Narrative because to me it is much plainer nd goes to the heart of the matter that you need to tell someone a good story to get them engaged and help them remember what they are being told.

There are a few different organizing principles that could have been applied, but I chose to look at timeline and theme based narrative structures for my tool-making story.

Timeline Based

This is also known as Competency based. The point is that one required step would be required after another. Reciepe and DIY books use this model for their instructions. It is good for teaching new processes or habits to novice students. An example of this for tool making might be the following 5 step process.

1. Think about you
2. Think about the type of mark you are going to make
3. Address issues of the medium… what needs to be marked
4. What is the final work supposed to be
5. Build and test tool.

Thinking about the tool doesn’t come first. Nor does setting your goal for what the work you are trying to make will be like. This is because the I want to design the tool-making framework to help myself and others move past what is already conceivable. This way there is quite a bit of exploration before assessing what the final form of your work will be.

Theme Based

Another option could be a thematic narrative. Here you address big-picture questions that cut across steps. This model particularly good for deepening understanding when the learner has some baseline skills already covered. It is the model used in designing comparative literature courses. An example of another five unit plan would be:

- Scale: How big are you? is your tool going to be? the “canvas”?
- Color & Shadow: What is your palette? How does color, shadow happen? What are edges?
- Memory: How do people remember things? Objects? Computers?
- Timelines: How many separate timelines are there? What are they? What are the rhythms?
- Addition vs. Subtraction: Carving negative space vs. building the positive

Notice that the bullets aren’t numbered. This is because each of the units could conceivably used separately if some of the areas were more interesting to the individual artist or designer at any given time on any given project.
