Twin Tales

One Story • Two Perspectives

The Great Drafting Mission

The Mission

1

Choose one small thing that happens to a character. It should be a "Tiny Moment" story.

2

Draft the story from inside the character's head (1st Person) and from the camera's view (3rd Person).

Keep it simple!

Someone makes breakfast and things go wrong.

Recess is cancelled because of a sudden storm.

A character can't find their shoe right before school.

Don't change what happens! If they fall down in the first story, they fall down in the second one too.

Swap "I" and "me" for "he", "she", or "they".

Ask yourself:

"If I was a camera, what would I see right now?"

GO!

Remember: Two Voices, One Story.
