Today we looked at themes from various children's books - and figured out how "theme" differs from "topic." We then continued with our short story creations, by composing a believable problem (WEX Lesson 2). First we brainstormed three possible problems for our character in his/her setting. We included a brief justification for each problem. What makes it believable for your character in this setting? The prompt: Choose one of the problems you imagined for your character. Write out a scene, showing the moment that the problem occurs. Show exactly what is taking place around your character.
