    Planning process

    The organizer enters small observable prompts and eight fictional participant labels. The two generated groups can write quietly or discuss a phrase together. The host explains that a written contribution can satisfy the clarity criterion and that reading aloud is optional.

    Result explanation

    The judging sheet is an optional host aid, not a requirement to rank beginners. The group and prompt assignments provide a starting structure while allowing different participation styles. A shared booklet is made only from contributions the writers agree to include.

    Alternative

    Omit scores and use a voluntary appreciation round with no winner. Keep the same writing prompts and tea sequence.

    Execution notes

    Ask before printing or sharing a guest’s words. Label drinks and provide water and a caffeine-free choice.
