Question

conviction

ebbing

impede

manifest

integrate

phenomenon

imperceptibly

Answer 1

It may help to know what these words are and how they can be used in a sentence before you do anything else.

1. Chronic: something persistent or long-lasting (Ex: "They have chronic back pain.")
2. Conviction: a firmly held belief or opinion; a formal declaration of someone's guilt (Ex: "They lacked conviction.")
3. Ebbing: (an emotion or quality) lessening (Ex: "Their enthusiasm was slowly ebbing away.")
4. Impede: delay or prevent by obstructing them; hinder (Ex: "Failure to study diligently may impede learning.")
5. Manifest: display or show (a quality or feeling) by one's acts or appearance; become apparent (Ex: "The disorder usually manifests in the elderly.")
6. Integrate: combine to make a whole; bring into equal participation (Ex: "Activists worked to integrate schools so that all students regardless of color or background may learn.")
7. Phenomenon: a fact or situation that can be observed, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question ("Ex: They dedicated their lives to the study of this phenomenon.")
8. Imperceptibly: in a way that is so slight, gradual, or subtle as not to be perceived (Ex: "The student smiled imperceptibly upon learning her answer was correct.")

Now that you know what the words mean, do you see any connections between them? 

I won’t write your story, but I can provide an example of what I mean by connections between the words. The words integrate and impede might remind you of chronic or historical issues such as discrimination so we can use these words to say, “In the early 1950s, racial segregation of schools impeded on people of color’s education. People dedicated their lives to integrating schools and providing access to an equitable education.”

The connection you find can be the topic/theme for your story.

Write your story to suit that topic/theme, making sure to include the five basic elements of a story (characters, setting, plot, conflict, and resolution).

I hope this helps and good luck writing your story!

Answer 2

The first thing I would do is write the definition next to the words. I used dictionary.com to find the definitions. Please note that it would be best if you changed these into your own words/words that you understand.

Chronic - constant

conviction - a firm or fixed belief

ebbing - to flow backwards

impede - obstruct; stopped by obstacles

manifest - a list of goods OR evident if used as an adjective

integrate - combine

phenomenon - a wonder; remarkable thing

imperceptibly - slight

1. Identify the strongest word that you can write a story about
2. For me: Phenomenon or Impeded
3. Then organize the words in a list that make sense in terms of a story progression
4. Phenomenon
5. phenomenon - conviction - manifest - chronic - integrate - impede - ebbing - imperceptibly
6. Impeded
7. impeded - conviction - ebbing - constant - imperceptibly - chronic - integrate - phenomenon
8. Next, write basic ideas next to the word order (I'll just use phenomenon for an example)
9. Phenomenon - bright green and yellow lights across the night sky
10. conviction - idea that it was really nature and not aliens
11. manifest - create a manifest of tools to go investigate what happened
12. chronic - chronic disbelief during trip that it wasn't aliens
13. integrate - integrate with other people as we searched
14. impede - bad weather impedes our journey to seek the phenomenon
15. ebbing - our will to travel was ebbing
16. imperceptibly - my happiness at finding out I was right but not wanting to be rude
17. Develop these ideas into a story.

The key point of this is to understand the words and their relationships BEFORE starting your writing. Instead of doing a typical story map, use the vocabulary to create the story map for you!
