Investigate tropes. What is a trope?
- View a film and review it with the aim of pointing out several tropes.
- note the broad categories tropes fall into, identify several examples from at least 3 categories.
- Write a short story(that one day could be turned into a feature film) based on an idea generated by tvtropes.org Story Idea Generator.
- Incorporate at least one common trope from the film into your story. There is no need for your story to parallel the film in any other way.
- Focus/comment somewhere in your story on the theme of global warming.
Here’s a sci-fi idea about a solution to global warming:

If the solution to global warming comes from Venus, will it “Flaunt their machismo” or be “obsessed with how their hair looks”.
How about a Slugbot?

Stay away from its berserk button.
How about ancient plants brought back to light/life to eat all that yummy CO2?

Maybe these plants from another time still exist in some undiscovered forest somewhere.
What about a ridiculously awesome toy/gadget/technology or really-really cool vehicle?

If only we could one day figure out how to create a battery that doesn’t wind up in a garbage dump.
