All of this is so helpful! I realized this week that my students didn’t really know what I was talking about when I said scene, (are they just reading less and less? Was I distracted and not bringing them along at the right pace? 😫) and there was a lack of explanation on any quick online resource. This breaks it down so perfectly. Thank you!
That's interesting b/c I feel like, with movies and TV, most people have a general grasp of scene whereas summary is much more difficult to grasp. Then again, if they never read then they definitely "turn the camera on and walk away" so that it's mere action without any anchoring of perspective or character consciousness...
