Write your own short story containing the three act story structure. Keep it between 1-3 pages. Be creative, make sure you have a purpose, a theme and help us feel what your story or character feels. Have fun with it because after lunch we are going to the LDS motion picture studios for a guided tour. Buckle up! 
We will be back to our house by 3:30pm.
