Stories can be divided into scenes. Think of a scene as a chapter in a book. In scene one, you tell us who and where the main character is. In scene two, you add something to the story. Scene three ends the story. Of course, there can be many more scenes, but let's start with three.

Easy stories.

Begin with a story you know—The Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood, or The Three Little Pigs.

Next, change the characters. For example, the three bears could be three of your friends, or Little Red Riding Hood could be you.

Then, create a new project with three text boxes.

Now, decide how you will reduce the story to three sections. For Little Red Riding Hood, it might be that the first section contains all the information up to the point when she goes to check on her grandmother. The second section might be where she questions the wolf/grandmother, and the wolf tries to eat her. The last section is where the hunter saves the day.

You aim to modify a story you know as quickly as possible. This should take you 15 minutes. 

Then, listen to the music and decide which pieces communicate the drama and tension of the story.

DONE! Way to go.
