Story Text

OverviewIn a Google Doc, and name it CA Rhyming Storyline by classID & classIDChange the doc's permissions to public instead of private and share the doc with mouseflip@gmail.com and give me edit privileges.Follow the formatting and content setup according to the Example. Remember your story needs to teach a moral with a theme Bible verse. Also, at the end of all the sentences of your story, it has to rhyme (watch the good example above). Remember, your time for your story should be 3-4 minutes. When you are finished, read your story out loud (not too fast but not too slow example). After you read it out loud, put the time it took you to read it at regular speed at the top of the doc on the line after your title e.g. Foxy First Day (3:12). Make sure the time is about 3-4 min.

    • CreativeI need to stress to you that your story & characters need to be creative. Creative simply means different and not predictable. Make sure your story and characters are very different from any story someone else has ever heard. The story above is very unique (characters, backgrounds, & plot).
