*NoteO*  Practical Exercise #2

This practical exercise comes from Lecture 6.  Use this format to diagram your initial concept of the story line. 

*BulletO*  Post it in "Classroom (Assignment Forum) of EWWOpen in new Window. as a bitem
*BulletO*  Name the post: PE #2 and your name.



*NoteO*  Vignette Assignment

Write a 1-3K vignette following the prompt and post in the "Classroom (Assignment Forum) of EWWOpen in new Window.as a bitem.

         *CheckB*   Prompt

It is time to set up the Life Changing Event (LCE).  The pace picks up as the CC is swept into an uptempo of fast moving events.  In the last vignette you showed your CC paddling around in the story world and painted a Before Snapshot of how the CC thinks and operates.  Now show her as a situation develops where she begins to lose control of the well ordered world that once surrounded her. You should already have in mind what the LCE is going to be and where the surge of events is taking her.  Keep in mind that an LCE is not always a huge event but it is always one that sets the CC on a new course in life. Show what the CC's Wants, Needs and Desires (WNDs) are to start off with. In the last vignette you showed inside a box of daily life.  Now you need to show a vibrancy, the urgency of life rushing past. The reader should see unexpected forces propelling the CC towards a crossroads in life.
