This mixer will divide you into ten groups. Each group will have four to seven members. You will play the next game with your group. Each of you will get part of a palindrome. Find the other fragments. When you have the whole palindrome, come here to get your next assignment. [Hand out the fragments.] [Hand out a Saga sheet to each group and send them to a table.] Do not start until you hear the bell. When all the groups have been formed: - You have seven and a half minutes to write a Noo Moon saga inspired by your palindrome. - Do not start until you hear the bell. - The palindrome must be the first or last sentence of your saga. - Try to use all the words from Phrases of the Moon. - Every time the bell rings (every 30 seconds), pass the paper to your left. - When you receive the paper, add to the saga, using exactly two words from the list, no more, no less. - Cross those words out from the list as you use them. - Questions? Decide whether you'll start or end with the palindrome, and write it accordingly at the top or bottom of your sheet. Go! [ring the bell every 30 seconds, fifteen turns in all, 7.5 minutes] Someone read the saga aloud to your group.
