Now lets revisit Imagine ISMELL Think back to the week before lockdown began. In our English lesson we lightly touched upon Imagine ISMELL. What do you remember about this strategy?
Imagine ISMELL Imagine: 3 worst-case scenario, dystopian Imagine statements in opening paragraph using figurative language. Individual: How are you personally affected? Society: How is society affected by this? Morality: What are the moral implications? Economy/Environment: How might the environment or the economy be affected by this? Legal: What are the legal implications of this? Linkback to your 3 dystopian imagine statements to create a circular structure. This time contrast the opening Imagine statements with 3 best-case, Utopian Imagine statements.
Imagine, imagine, imagine contrast statements Imagine, Imagine, Imagine CONTRAST Imagine, Imagine, Imagine The perfect Utopian, best- casescenario imaginable The realistic, worst-case scenario imaginable Look how contrasting positive and negative Imagine statements can work beautifully The Sun Won t Come Out Tomorrow Imagine a day at the beach, sprawled out on the golden-rich sand, soaking in the scorching sun rays. Imagine the refreshing salt water lapping hypnotically at your feet as it glimmers with pride from the sun s spotlight. Imagine the palm trees showing off their foliage proudly to a myriad of birds and insects that nestle in their protection. Now imagine an ominous shadow bombarding the sun s rays like a merciless playground bully; now imagine darkness; a thick, ebony blanket of fumes blocking the sun s final projection of hope. Now imagine the palm trees, wizened and bereft of foliage, host to dead and decaying wildlife. This is our stark reality. The truth. The facts. I am here to rip you from the bed of lies and manipulation which you so comfortably rest upon and open your eyes to the harsh, suffering world we now live in
WAGOLL What techniques has this individual used? Are they effective? Don t let those sadistic trolls get away with such inexcusable online abuse! Imagine a world where you could visit all social networking sites without fear of a group of faceless, invisible predators stalking your every post and feasting on your vulnerabilities like vultures; imagine a world in which all your online friends were indeed actual friends and not sadistic, Machiavellian ghouls haunting your every move at school and plaguing your every thought at night; imagine a world where all teenagers, no matter what their background, colour or sexuality were not judged mercilessly for being their own unique selves. Sounds idyllic, idealised and Utopian-like, right? Sadly, this vision is simply a pipe-dream; an unrealistic thought that in our current society is quite frankly an impossibility, don t you think? How could this be improved? Can you spot any language techniques? Do the IMAGINE statements work or not?
Using your brain dump notes and ideas on the topic of online trolling create a list of contrasting Imagine statements by experimenting with the order. Will you begin with the best case of worst case scenarios first?
