Description
Eleven tools for the drafting-and-editing stage of building a course: the Five-Part Sequence Builder, Save the Cat Beat Sheet, Story Circle Mapper, and Director’s Treatment Template for structuring lessons; the Visual Language Auditor, Sound Voice & Tone Checklist, Murch Rule-of-Six Auditor, Iterative Editing Tracker, and Director’s Notebook for editing them until they land; and the Cognitive Load Auditor and Memory Architect for checking they’re not overloading the learner. Built for turning a course outline into finished lessons, decks, and materials.
