الدَّرْسُ الثَّانِي: رِحْلَةٌ إِلَى الْمُتْحَفِ الْمِصْرِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ.

Lesson Two: A Trip to the Grand Egyptian Museum.

هَيَّا نَكْتُبُ وَنُبْدِعُ.

Let’s write and create.

تَغْيِيرُ حَدَثٍ فِي قِصَّةٍ تَعَلَّمْتُ فِي الْمُتْحَفِ.

Changing a story event I learned at the museum.

تَذَكَّرْ: أَنَّ الْقِصَّةَ تَتَكَوَّنُ مِنْ شَخْصِيَّاتٍ وَأَحْدَاثٍ وَمَكَانٍ وَزَمَانٍ،

Remember: A story consists of characters, events, a setting, and a timeframe.

لَكِنَّنَا الْيَوْمَ سَنُرَكِّزُ عَلَى الْأَحْدَاثِ فَقَطْ،

Today, we will focus only on the events.

وَسَنَرَى كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ لِتَغْيِيرٍ بَسِيطٍ أَنْ يُبَدِّلَ مَجْرَى الْقِصَّةِ.

We will see how a simple change can alter the story's direction.

أَقْرَأُ الْقِصَّةَ التَّالِيَةَ قَبْلَ تَغْيِيرِ الْحَدَثِ وَبَعْدَهُ:

Read the following story before and after changing the event.

الْقِصَّةُ قَبْلَ تَغْيِيرِ الْحَدَثِ.

The story before the change.

فِي صَبَاحٍ مُشْرِقٍ وَقَفَتِ الْحَافِلَةُ أَمَامَ بَوَّابَةِ الْمُتْحَفِ الْمِصْرِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ،

On a bright morning, the bus pulled up in front of the Grand Egyptian Museum gate.

نَزَلَ التَّلَامِيذُ وَمَعَهُمُ الْمُعَلِّمَةُ،

The students and their teacher stepped off.

دَخَلُوا الْقَاعَةَ الْأُولَى يَتَأَمَّلُونَ التَّمَاثِيلَ،

They entered the first hall to admire the statues.

ثُمَّ انْتَقَلُوا إِلَى قَاعَةِ الْحَيَاةِ الْيَوْمِيَّةِ.

Then they moved on to the Daily Life hall.

اقْتَرَبَ آسِرٌ مِنْ قِطْعَةٍ أَثَرِيَّةٍ، فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَرَاهَا عَنْ قُرْبٍ فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ وَلَمَسَهَا،

Asir approached an artifact, wanting a closer look, and reached out to touch it.

قَالَتِ الْمُعَلِّمَةُ بِلُطْفٍ: يَا آسِرُ، هَذِهِ الْقِطَعُ ثَمِينَةٌ، لَا نَلْمِسُهَا لِكَيْ نُحَافِظَ عَلَيْهَا.

The teacher said gently, "Asir, these pieces are precious. We don't touch them so we can keep them safe."

شَعَرَ آسِرٌ بِالْحَرَجِ، وَقَالَ مُعْتَذِرًا: آسِفٌ، لَنْ أُكَرِّرَ ذَلِكَ.

Asir felt embarrassed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I won't do it again."

ابْتَسَمَتِ الْمُعَلِّمَةُ وَقَالَتْ: هَكَذَا نَحْمِي تَارِيخَنَا يَا بُنَيَّ.

The teacher smiled and said, "That is how we protect our history, my boy."

خَرَجَ آسِرٌ مِنَ الْمُتْحَفِ وَقَدْ تَعَلَّمَ أَنَّ احْتِرَامَ الْآثَارِ هُوَ احْتِرَامٌ لِتَارِيخِ وَطَنِهِ.

Asir left the museum having learned that respecting antiquities means respecting the history of his homeland.

الْقِصَّةُ بَعْدَ تَغْيِيرِ الْحَدَثِ. فِي صَبَاحٍ مُشْرِقٍ وَقَفَتِ الْحَافِلَةُ أَمَامَ بَوَّابَةِ الْمُتْحَفِ الْمِصْرِيِّ الْكَبِيرِ، نَزَلَ التَّلَامِيذُ وَمَعَهُمُ الْمُعَلِّمَةُ، دَخَلُوا الْقَاعَةَ الْأُولَى يَتَأَمَّلُونَ التَّمَاثِيلَ، ثُمَّ انْتَقَلُوا إِلَى قَاعَةِ الْحَيَاةِ الْيَوْمِيَّةِ.

The story after the change.

اقْتَرَبَ آسِرٌ مِنْ قِطْعَةٍ أَثَرِيَّةٍ، فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ وَسَأَلَ الْمُعَلِّمَةَ إِنْ كَانَ يُمْكِنُهُ لَمْسُهَا.

Asir approached an artifact, raised his hand, and asked the teacher if he could touch it.

ابْتَسَمَتِ الْمُعَلِّمَةُ وَقَالَتْ: يُمْكِنُكَ مُشَاهَدَةُ الْقِطَعِ الْأَثَرِيَّةِ دُونَ لَمْسِهَا لِكَيْ نُحَافِظَ عَلَيْهَا.

The teacher smiled and said, "You can view the artifacts without touching them so we can keep them safe."

قَالَ آسِرٌ فِي نَفْسِهِ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ أَنَّنِي اسْتَأْذَنْتُ قَبْلَ لَمْسِ الْقِطْعَةِ الْأَثَرِيَّةِ،

Asir thought to himself, "Thank goodness I asked for permission before touching the artifact."

لَوْ كُنْتُ لَمَسْتُهَا دُونَ اسْتِئْذَانٍ كُنْتُ سَأَشْعُرُ بِالنَّدَمِ. خَرَجَ آسِرٌ مِنَ الْمُتْحَفِ وَقَدْ تَعَلَّمَ أَنَّ احْتِرَامَ الْآثَارِ هُوَ احْتِرَامٌ لِتَارِيخِ وَطَنِهِ.

If I had touched it without asking, I would have regretted it."

خُطُوَاتٌ تُسَاعِدُنِي فِي تَغْيِيرِ الْحَدَثِ بِنَجَاحٍ: ١.

Steps to help me change the event successfully:

أَقْرَأُ الْقِصَّةَ جَيْدًا وَأَفْهَمُ أَحْدَاثَهَا. ٢.

Read the story carefully to understand the events.

أُحَدِّدُ الْحَدَثَ الَّذِي يُمْكِنُ تَغْيِيرُهُ. ٣.

Identify which event can be changed.

أَتَخَيَّلُ كَيْفَ يُصْبِحُ مَجْرَى الْقِصَّةِ بَعْدَ التَّغْيِيرِ. ٤.

Imagine how the story will unfold after the change.

أَكْتُبُ الْقِصَّةَ الْجَدِيدَةَ مُسْتَخْدِمًا الْحَدَثَ الْمُخْتَلِفَ. ٥.

Write the new story using the different event.

أُغَيِّرُ مَا يَتَرَتَّبُ عَلَى تَغْيِيرِ الْحَدَثِ. ٦.

Adjust the consequences resulting from the change.

أُرَاجِعُ قِصَّتِي لِأَتَأَكَّدَ مِنْ تَرَابُطِ أَحْدَاثِهَا وَمَنْطِقِيَّةِ نِهَايَتِهَا.

Review the story to ensure the events flow well and the ending makes sense.
