Write a realistic fiction scene...

• Write another realistic fiction scene that hints at a social issue for a different story. Use the ideas for stories that you had from Friday's class. The list of videos are still on my blog below. Students choose one of these ideas and write a scene. Your scene should incorporate 'some' of the advanced moves we have been modeling from  the Graduation of Jake Moon such as:
• using lists for specificity
• slow motion scene
• rehearsing a scene
• "count up and count down" technique
• figurative language
• continuum to show transition
• framing a scene - position, location, movement, and direction
• "down the garden path" technique

Any other craft moves you know
