Extending Literature: A News report about the Next Chapter

[is_not_paid]Imagine you are on a news show reporting on the events that take place just after the novel, play or short story you just read, ended. In other words, you are adding a new chapter or scene, and relaying this information in a news report. The news report will begin with a brief summary of what has just occurred – kind of like a previous episode summary that you see on serialized TV – and then dive into the new developments with your main characters and their world. Your cast will feature an anchor, an interviewer and one to three characters from the work of literature.[/is_not_paid] [is_paid]

The stories we choose to tell and to read are full of twists, turns, ups, downs, and ultimately, endings that leave us thinking. This challenge asks you to place yourself directly into the final moments of the world of a book you are reading, and then leap into the future. Imagine you are on a news show reporting on the events of your book immediately after the final chapter. Including an interview with one or more characters in this story, film a newscast detailing what has just occurred at the end of the story - be sure to include select details about the story itself and the character’s journey - and then answer the question, “What’s next?”
