Follow the Technology Road

[trail background]

All: Follow the technology road! Follow the technology road!!

Myna Gail: Stop! I have a problem with this.

Judy: What’s wrong with you? You agreed to go down this road.

Myrna Gail: I know...but I just really want to know where we’re and how to get there.

[waterfall]

Paulette: Hey look! A waterfall! I’ll bet we can clarify our task in the crystal clear water of that waterfall.

All: Okay - yeah - let’s try.

Edd: Did you see that?

Myrna Gail: Okay. We’ll write a plan. But how will we know if it’s right?

Judy: Let’s go a little further and see what else we find.

All: Follow the technology road! Follow the technology road!!

Paulette: Look! An old mountain woman. I’ll bet she knows the way!

Edd: Yeah, let’s go ask her.

[woman at kettle]

Myrna Gail: Good morning ma’am! Can you please look in your kettle and tell us where we’re going?

All: [huddle; whisper] A rubric!!!!!!!

Judy: I feel so much better now that we’ve identified our criteria for success. Let’s go!

Paulette: No. We need some things for this trip. Let’s see what the old woman has that might help.

[ingredients and container]

All: [oohs and aahs; whispers as each ingredient appears] Whispers; Nod heads.

Edd: This is too much. Let’s sift through and find what we really need.

All: Whispers -conference.

Edd: Okay - I think we have all the resources we need. Anyone have access to any more data. [looks around] Are we ready to hit the track?

Myrna Gail: Hey! Who made you boss?

Edd: What do you mean? Do you have a problem?

Myrna Gail: Yeah, I do.

Judy: Wait a minute . . . I think we need some ground rules for this trip. And how about getting the old woman’s cell phone number so she can help facilitate this trip. She’s been so very useful this far.

All: [yeah, ok, I agree] Let’s go! Follow the technology road! Follow the technology road!!

[outhouse]

Myrna Gail: STOP!!!!!!

All: What? Oh, no. What is it now? [heads shake]

Myrna Gail: I really need some time to reflect!!!!!

All: Oh, okay! Go ahead. [pace, look around]

Myrna Gail: [returning to group] You will not believe what I found written on the wall in there! A schedule for the rest of the trip. There are even brochures for the activities to do along the way!

All: Okay, alright. Let’s go. Follow the technology road! Follow the technology road!!

[chs]

Paulette: Look! We’re home. It’s time. Is everyone ready to implement our plan? Okay,

All: Let’s go!! Follow the technology road! Follow the technology road!!

The journey continues!!!!
