Lesson 1 "Jumble-Jivin'"




Lesson 1
"Jumble-Jivin'"

Choose four numbers (from 1-10)
Each number will correspond to an item on the next post. 
The first number is the "CHARACTER" to focus on. The second number is the "SETTING" and so forth.

Assignment: Write a short story with the character, setting, time period, and situation that you've chosen. The character 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, time and situation/challenge. You can combine these elements anyway that you desire, so long as all four are included in your story. 

*** If you choose to submit your story, please Remember that all stories need to be "PG"

***Assignments can be submitted through the comment section.
