What is Scenario Writing? This component, for grades 4 – 12, provides a writing exercise in which students create a word picture of the future. Encouraging

creativity, scenario writing allows an individual writer to create a futuristic short story based on one of the five FPSP topics.

Students develop and polish their creative writing skills. FPSP scenarios are limited to 1500 words and must be placed at least

twenty years into the future. Students must be conscious of the six-step FPS model while developing their scenario.

Topic Announcement!

Space

Humans are driven to challenge the boundaries of society's scientific and technical limits by exploring the

unknown. For centuries this drive has inspired space exploration, resulting in new industries, collaborative

relationships between nations, and expanded technology. Today many view space exploration as extravagant

spending. Others believe governments and private industry should invest more on space, knowing that the

scientific research could one day yield better medicines and technologies for mankind. In the next fifty years, will

only commercial satellites and military missiles fly above Earth's atmosphere or will human curiosity push

exploration even deeper into space? Should we allow space exploration to be commercial and capitalistic

ventures? Is settlement on foreign planets and moons a thing of science fiction or a realistic possibility for the

future?

What is Community Problem Solving?

Teams of students apply their problem solving skills to a current problem within their local community or in the larger community of

their lives. Using the FPSP six-step problem-solving model, students implement the action plan in Community Problem Solving

(CmPS). Teams move from hypothetical issues to real world, authentic concerns.

A CmPS team can be composed of as few as two or three students or as many as 50. Students can classify their projects in one of

four categories: civic and cultural, environmental, health concerns, or human services.
