Plot: what happens in a story

Pay close attention to the 'Plot' of your life story.

Because it is testing week I will be speaking in 5th Grade Language Arts terms for the duration of this post. May this be a review of your reading skills. All Language arts terms will be in bold for your viewing convenience. For example: The purpose of this post is to inform and entertain.


What: 17 Again
When: Sunday, April 19th, 2:00pm
Where: AMC Southroads movie theater
Who: My mom, Taylor, Hannah, Anna, Myself
How: (this category does not apply)

Summary of Events: We loaded up after church and headed to the theater to see 17 Again, a movie that a few of us have been excited to see. In all, we liked the film. It was pretty funny and we agreed that it would be categorized as a 'Romantic Comedy' and NOT a 'Chick Flick'. (Taylor was very adamant on stating this fact)

The most exciting part of the day (climax) was when we got up to leave after the movie and Anna & Hannah (characters) noticed something on my pants. Well, Lo and behold, I had sat in chocolate (problem). You can imagine how this looked; not pleasant. Fortunately I had a jacket to tie around my waste (solution).

Another issue of the day was the popcorn (main idea). We bought a large popcorn and Surprise Surprise, you get free refills when you buy a large popcorn (supporting details). Well, no one wanted to leave the movie to get the actual refill. So, the thinkers that we are, we decided to eat the whole bag BEFORE the movie, so that someone could go during the previews to get the refill. Good idea, huh? Let me tell you, a large bag of popcorn is big! But we managed to lower the level of popcorn by at least half. Hannah stuffed her mouth like a small rodent, mom made a 'popcorn pallet' out of napkins, Taylor just ate really fast and we managed. In the end, we got our free refill and 5 stomach aches to go with it.


Opinion: Kevin is absolutely awesome!
Fact: Kevin is leading EMSA in code saves for the year to date. This means that he has brought back more people from cardiac arrest than any other medic.
Summary: My opinion is backed up by facts, therefore it should persuade you to agree with me.


I hope you enjoyed today's State-Test-Themed-post. Pray, Pray, Pray for my students for the next two days. All the info is there, in their brains, I just need them to find it easily and quickly for each question.

Enjoy the weather! It's going to be a good week!
