**The Snowflakes Manifest**
"We’re on strike! We’re tired of freezing all the time and always falling down. Every day we lie around with nothing to do. We’re fed up with no pay, cold, windy working conditions and getting stepped on or brushed aside. But most of all, we’re tired of being eaten! Therefore, we, the Union of Snowflakes, refuse to do any more falling until the following demands are met. Source: Snowflakes on strike

Phase 1: So, snowflakes went on strike...
Brainstorm about possible snowflakes demands:

 * Freezing all the time || blankets ||
 * Always falling down || sledges ||
 * Doing nothing || Paid holidays in the Caribbean ||
 * Cold, windy work conditions || A shorter working day ||
 * Getting stepped and brushed aside || Special lanes ||
 * Getting eaten || A sour taste ||
