After we think of different troubles for our characters, we can write down our thoughts on a brainstorm sheet. We learned a few different ways to brainstorm! We can look to our friends' troubles, troubles our characters have in our favorite books, troubles we wish there were in our books, and troubles we have encountered ourselves! But, we always remember that our characters will be the ones facing them now! No more "I, me, my!"
