How to do this drill
- Name the unusual object immediately.
- Describe size, movement, sound, and reactions.
- End with stable meeting landmarks.
Material
A waist-high robot shaped like a white-and-orange goose stands at a temporary crosswalk. Arrow panels flash on its wings and its beak speaker announces when to cross. A student controls it from behind a barrier. Children laugh beside an adult, a cyclist walks through, and a bus waits calmly. Festival tents and a large invention banner stand across from a brick library.
Your tasks
- Plan unusual feature, function, reactions, and landmarks.
- Call a friend and describe where to meet in sixty seconds.

Answer
Describe a supervised goose-shaped crossing robot, its signals and operator, calm public response, and the library/banner/tents as location cues.
How to reach it
- Identify what is strange.
- Explain apparent function from actions.
- Give landmarks the friend can use.
Evidence
Calling it a festival demonstration is supported by operator, barrier, banner, and calm traffic; claiming it escaped or malfunctioned is not.
Review your attempt
- Could the friend recognize the object and place?
- Did you avoid dramatic unsupported history?
Take it further
Retell in forty seconds while preserving object, function, reactions, and meeting point.
