Directions:

Complete Step 1: Think of a "trouble story" or something that happened to you when things were hard. Think about how the trouble started, how it got worse, and how it was resolved.
Open to the next blank pages in your writer's notebook. Label: "Page 1: Trouble Starts"; "Page 2: Problem gets worse"; "Page 3: Problem resolved".
Using Flipgrid, record yourself completing Step 2. Touch each page, and TELL each part of the story.
