Know/Understand

DO ALL OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. Watch this video about the parts of a story.
2. Print this chart for your commonplace book.
3. Write a short story.  There is no minimum or maximum page or word counts, just make sure you include all the parts of a story and make it good.  (There are many different ways to write a story - poem format, song format, graphic novel format, etc.  Get creative!)

Become/Serve

Read this Conference talk by Sis. Johnson, Invite Christ to Author your Story and then quickly read/skim this article about literature that has been quoted in General Conferences.  

Ponder the books that  you've read and think about the way they've changed your life.  What lessons have you learned from them?  How have you been changed for the better by the stories you've read?  Make a list in your journal of three books you've read that you've learned a lesson from and what that lesson was.  Bring your list to share in class.  

Then choose 2 books from the ones quoted from in General Conference that you haven't read and commit to reading them this summer.
