[Jumble Story] Preparation: Choose
four numbers (each number from 1 to 10).
Each number corresponds to an
item on the list below. The first
number is the character the story
is
to focus on, the second
number is the
setting
for your story, the third the time, and the fourth the situation or
challenge!
Please write in complete
sentences with appropriate grammar, spelling, and transitions.
Enjoy!
| Assignment: Write a story with the
character, setting, time period, and situation that you've chosen. The
character that you've chosen should be the main character in the story,
but isn't necessarily the ONLY character in the story. Likewise, most of
the story will take place in the setting that you've chosen, but you can
include other settings or elaborate on the setting that you have chosen
(breaking it into several smaller settings, for example). The time
period is as you have chosen. The situation
or challenge that you've chosen may involve the main character, or your
main character may observe someone else who must deal with the situation
or challenge. In other words, you can combine these elements anyway that
you desire, so long as all four are included in your story. Character
