For this assignment, you should acquire a free skin and shape of a gender or race different from your avatar's current identity. Then you will go a few places with other avatars present to see how you are treated.  If you are griefed, just teleport back to Richmond Island.

 

Hints as to how you can do change your look:

 

  • You can pick up free skins and shapes both at Sarah Nerd's Freebie Paradise and Milky9.  If you are switching genders, it's best to get some clothing to fit "the new you."
  • Be sure you get a shape, skin, and hair that work for your new self.  Keep in mind that a male skin will work on a female shape (and vice versa) but the results are not very effective.
  • To "wear your new self" you will need to open the box if the items are boxed and then either 1) copy to inventory and wear or 2) copy to inventory and put them on later.
  • Note that your Library folder contains "stock" male and female avatars of both genders. Look in the "clothing" folder of your library; there is a folder for each of the default SL avatars. To use these pre-made avatars, you will have to drag the contents of the folder (one at a time) to your inventory folder. It is tedious, but it works.

 

Okay, I'm another person! Now what?

 

You must go at least 4 places (ones you have been or other ones) and get a picture of yourself in a crowd. Turn on the chat transcript when you get there (or just leave it running). And you must complete at least one of the following tasks:

 

  1. Pretend you are new to SL (not much of a stretch).  Introduce yourself to those present in chat and ask for advice about what there is to do in SL that's worthwhile
  2. Ask for advice about how to find good free items in SL
  3. Tell those present that you are doing some research on SL. Pick any topic appropriate to your final project's likely subject.  Ask for advice.
