Your piece went out, or you held it back on purpose. Today is not about building or fixing it. It is about noticing what publishing (or almost-publishing) changed: how it felt, what a viewer should have taken from it, and what you would do differently next time. By the end you will name one habit from this strand you intend to keep for everything you publish from now on.

Making is mostly about you. Publishing adds other people: someone else can now read it, share it, misunderstand it, or act on it.

Stay with your own piece where you can. If you did not publish, use a draft you nearly shared or a classmate's piece they are happy to talk about in general terms (no naming of personal details).

Round 1: what felt different (about 10 minutes)

1. Say your one word from the silent start, plus one sentence that explains it.
2. Finish this stem out loud with your partner: "Publishing felt different from making because..."
3. If you get stuck, try a concrete angle: a real person might read it; who could see it; a last consent check; a credit or fact; feeling proud, exposed or relieved; realising you could not quietly edit it forever.
4. Two or three pairs put a short phrase on the board. Build a class list of differences, not a vote on the "right" feeling.

Between rounds (about 3 minutes, silent)

1. Silent write (about 90 seconds): on paper or a closed note, finish "Publishing felt different from making because..." Keep the page; you may read from it in your group.
2. Micro-task (about 90 seconds): look back at your piece if you have it to hand, or work from memory. Note one viewer-facing line you would add or cut. Do not publish the change: just write it down. You will use that note in Round 2.

Stay with your own piece where you can. If you did not publish, use a draft you nearly shared or a classmate's piece they are happy to talk about in general terms (no naming of personal details).

Round 2: takeaway, one gap, gap types on the board (about 12 minutes)

Four moves only.

1. Everyone writes one sentence first (before the group talks): "If a viewer only remembered one thing from my piece, I would want it to be..." You may reopen your piece only to remember it: no editing. If you did not publish, answer from your draft or from the general topic of a classmate's piece they are willing to name at topic level only.
2. As a group, use the board stem "The piece made X clear, but left Y fuzzy." Name one gap (for example: viewpoint clear but sources fuzzy; topic clear but call to action fuzzy; credits careful but opening weak). Use your micro-task note if it helps.
3. One person from each group reports only the gap type (not the full piece) to the board.
4. Class stars the three gap types that keep coming up. Patterns in communication only: no judging talent.
