Task 4 God's Song
Task 4, "Jesus' Birth Song," is to ask each of participants to use the "world-map" to find another location, fly to other places by using the world-map and following the guidance of red arrow, sit on the cushion, and sing out the Christmas song together. One goal of this task is to test their ability to use the "techniques" or "skills" in Second Life to enhance the efficiency of moving. They would be able to type the correct location name and number by paying attention to Maria's sayings, that is, to enhance their listening ability of different accents.
Moreover, though many people will consider the singing task too easy and unsuitable for the age of adults, the goal of the singing task is to reach the emotional needs and to give people a sense that people will not always remember the things clearly all the time. Like Maria Nancy, sometimes she
loses her memories.
There are a lot of parallels in the song, like "you better watch out, you better not cry, better not pout" and "he sees you when you're sleeping, he knows you when you're awake, you knows if you've been bad or good." These parallels can help them to remember the lyrics and create the earworms, which match our goal to convince or "brainwash" people to believe the God.
(1) Section 1: World-map
Initially, John doesn't allow the participants go back to the civilized world with Maria. However, after Maria Nancy won in the game of Little or Big. John allows the newcomers to fly back to the civilized place with Maria. Therefore, the first thing Maria teaches the newcomers is the skill to use the World-map. First, Maria asks the participants to click the option "world" on the top of the screen and then go to the "world-map." After they open the "world-map," Maria asks them to type the location name, Motru, next to the word "find." Later, Maria asks them to type the location number: 189, 37. 39.
(2) Section 2: Flying
After they type the location number, Maria asks them to follow the red arrow and fly with her to the civilized place, Da Vinci Church. Thus, in this section they would have the ability to control their avatar's direction and learn how to fly by clicking the option "fly." Furthermore, they need to follow Maria Nancy, so they need to control their avatar well in order not to get lost.
(3) Section 3: Sitting
Before the singing activity, Maria asks them to sit down on the colorful cushion first. So, Maria Nancy asks participants to fly again to the upper place and sit by clicking the option "Sit Here" or clicking twice on the cushion. If the participants don't control their avatars well, it is easy to fall down.
In RP1, this game is based on the story of Jesus's Birth. Mary is one of Maria Nancy's ancestors and the song of Santa Claus is coming to town is also related to Jesus's Birth. Furthermore, Maria Nancy is preparing for the Christmas, but she forget some of the words in lyrics. Thus, in this task, Maria Nancy asks the newcomers to help her to complete only some of the missing words.
In RP2, this game is based on the story of Lord of Flies. John sent two dragons to attack Maria Nancy (Ralph.) One of the dragons attacked Ralph's head. After he was rescued by the British Navy, the doctor said to him that his brain damage cannot fully recover. Thus, Maria Nancy sometimes will lost her memory. Thus, she ask each newcomers to help her to complete one section of the lyrics instead of the words.
