A scenario can be defined as “An informal narrative description” (Preece, Rogers & Sharp, 2015, p.371). These are frequently used when describing events, books, or movies, with the narrator explaining the content to give the listener an understanding of the topic.
Reflection on the Topic
- I frequently use scenarios to describe my day to my Husband. He will do the same thing in return, so we are putting the timeline of events that happened to us throughout the day in the context of a short story.
- According to Merriam-Webster’s definition of a scenario, it is “A sequence of events especially when imagined” (Merriam-Webster).
- The image below represents what first comes to my mind when I think of the word scenario, the comparison of the process and outcome of different events. This is a visual representation of a student considering the different scenarios that would occur depending on the results of her assessment.
My Thought
“From our reading, I was able to get a better understanding of the word “scenario”. I had the vague idea that a scenario described the discussion of an event to someone but did not know that this is considered a useful form of explanation because we are able to easily interpret concepts and events through story telling” (Ingrid Bright, 2019).
