Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

In order to make a new world your talents of descriptive writing need to at their highest skill level which means that they'll be able to handle situations that require to be less descriptive. The end goal of the assignment is to create a scene in their own world after figuring out the details of the world. This would probably be part of a larger fantasy unit as there are aspects that could gain more focus or attention after students have this together that would be useful for an actual full story, for instance different types of plot structures and story arcs to explore how to make a plot for it or how to develop characters talking about primary/secondary characters, protagonists/antagonists. This exercise does involve creating a character but their main purpose in this isn't to be incredibly fleshed out and detailed but to provide a character within the scene for them to write about. Common Core standards: Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.11-12.3.A Engage and orient the reader by setting out a problem, situation, or observation and its significance, establishing one or multiple point(s) of view, and introducing a narrator and/or characters; create a smooth progression of experiences or events. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.11-12.3.B Use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing, description, reflection, and multiple plot lines, to develop experiences, events, and/or characters.
