Scenes are a little different.

My method for scenes/chapters is to treat each one like it's own mini narrative. So it hass to have a beginning, middle, and end just like any short story would. At the beginning as to not only tell us who is in the scene but it has to present a hook that grabs our attention, and helps us understand why this scene matters to the story and why these characters should be in it. The middle should provide some sort of thwart or challenge, we should learn something about our characters that we didn't know before, or should receive some kind of static, consistent imagery that fixes the scene in the readers mind in such a way that the reader couldn't imagine the book without that chapter. It should end in a way that feels conclusive, which let us know what we have learned, or how things have changed in the overall narrative, it should also and in a way that points us toward the next scene, either with a cliffhanger, or a proper conclusion that let us know what the characters are doing in the gap between this scene and the next. In addition to having a plot all its own, it's important to make sure that every scene has setting. The setting isn't just deocraiton, it should always be important enough that if this scene took place somewhere else it might have had a different outcome. In the same way that having a conversation in a different room of the house might change the outcome of the conversation, the setting is always going to interact with other elements of the scene. So you have plot, setting, and finally there is: character. Every element of a scene should further one of the plot points that I mentioned, should interact with the setting like I just mentioned, and should either teach us something about the character, or contribute to character growth. Even something as simple as the tone of voice that a character uses, or where they choose to stand in a room and when they enter or leave the scene it's enough to check all of those boxes. But when you're looking at a paragraph and you want to know if it works, ask yourself, does it check all of those boxes? And if not, what small tweaks could you make so that it does.
