Scenario Spotlight: Putting Students at an Event

      Scenarios matter in getting students to create, and one of my favorites is to put the student at an event. By doing so, students can imagine they are Joe Schmo, and they can retell the story of what they see. Making them go the first person will give them a deeper understanding of that event, and the best part is that you can make those events up. They can be abstract.
    You would think that scenarios would have to be actual events, but they don’t.  Obviously, you could do this with literature events. If the author paints a picture, it should be easy to be imaginative off of it. You could also be even more abstract. You could put students inside an animal cell, they could be present in an abstract concept, or it could be an original scenario concept. It’s up to you! The possibilities are endless. 

Products you could get include:
  • Social Media Post
    • ​​​Social Media is where many of us see breaking news now. It’s just faster. Why not have a student be the first person reporter. The creativity they can get in social media posts makes this a great opportunity. They could use something like Padlet to fake it as well.
  • Blog Post
    • ​​Blog posts are perfect ways for anonymous users to write about at an event. They can fill the blog with emotions from the vent and make it very visceral.
  • Newspaper Reports
    • ​​Writing a newspaper article is a perfect way to put someone at an event, and it’s easy. The Newspaper doesn’t even have to be real.
  • News Broadcast
    • Newspaper reports are easy, and you can always change that format to video to make it a little more creative. Think about having students do onsite reports. They can even interview someone!
