Select an historical event.
Write a report of this event as if you were there. This means to write about the event in the present tense, as if it were happening now, and you are a witness to everything that is happening right before your eyes.

In your report, include the elements of 'setting' and describe the 'plot' as if you were there.

Some suggestions are a battle, an invention, or a sports event.
