Finish the paragraph, and write a second paragraph.  You may introduce new characters, or continue with the same characters.  You may also change the setting, or add things to the setting that your reader doesn't know.  Have fun with it!

Please complete this assignment in your intersession blog notebook.  Please write the first part of the story.  By writing it, you can warm up, and it will allow your imagination to start its magic!
