Characters who teach

Meet the cast

DocentForge's cast are the four moves of a great object talk — text personas a teen learns to voice (no illustrated storybooks): the Hook, the Close Look, the Story, and the Open Question.

T

The Hook

The opening move — makes a curious stranger stop and look

T

The Close Look

Points the visitor's eye at a detail they'd otherwise miss

T

The Story

One true, specific story the object carries

T

The Open Question

Sends the visitor away still thinking (no single answer)
