I need to make a scene for one of my homework assignments and I just don't know were to start. I need help thinking of ideas for a vivid scene that I would do.
Here is what the assignment is asking for:

Now write your own scene with vivid atmosphere - it doesn’t have to be spooky! Limit your scene to no more than three paragraphs. You may use dialogue, if appropriate.

Create a first-person narrator (the main character tells the story using “I”) and imagine a vivid scene for him or her.

Imagine all of the senses involved in your scene---sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.

Use your narrator’s reaction to the atmosphere to help your reader experience it directly.

Write vivid descriptions using strong nouns and verbs as well as adjectives.

A well-chosen metaphor, simile, allusion, or personification can capture the feeling of a place.

Sometimes describing what isn’t visible is the best way to create atmosphere. Is there a hidden aspect to the place you’ve invented that your reader should know about?

Thanks:) (link)
I say go outside or to a mall or park or where ever. Pick a spot, close your eyes and listen to what you hear, smell, etc. Bring a small pad of paper and write it down. Sit in one place for 5 - 10 minutes and jot down your info.

Hope that helps.
