SCENARIO WRITING
State Results Announced!
FPS helps students think critically, creatively and futuristically.  Scenario Writing helps to encourage futuristic thinking by allowing students to create images of the future.  A scenario is a short story in which one possible outcome of the future is developed through character(s) and plot.  It is a prediction of the future based on the current year FPS topics and is written as though the future were the present.
