Aditya Kaushik, an eighth grade student at Community Middle School, was honored with a third place award in scenario writing at the International Future Problem Solving Conference. Kaushik’s 1,500-word short story, “Metaphors and Misunderstandings,” is a futuristic view of what might happen in a world where surveillance is used too much and common sense is used too seldom.
Scenario writing, a component of the Future Problem Solving Program, has students compose futuristic short stories related to one of the current year’s topics. Earlier this year Kaushik’s short story received first place in New Jersey’s Middle Division for Scenario Writing.
