Brainstorm and prewrite three scenes about a fictional talent show in which two contestants swap bodies. Your first two scenes will focus on the contestants, each

of which must try to learn the other person's act before the show begins. The third

scene will focus on an audience member who's watching the talent show.

Each scene must make its main character distinct from the other two. Each scene

must also use rich description so that the problem each character faces seems real,

even though the story itself is fantastical. In the next lesson, you'll expand these

scenes into a short story.

It was a warm, sunny day and I was so excited because it was the talent show today and I was determined to win it! I was super happy and I couldn't stop thinking about it, but there was a problem... I was going to go against the best piano player in my school. Although I was super happy I was also super

nervous about it and I was worried that what I was going to do was not as good as what they were gonna

do. Later on, that morning after I woke up and got ready I went to the gym to practice on the song that I

wrote for the talent show. I was gonna sing the song and play on my guitar. MY friend walked in and thought it was wonderful and said I was for sure gonna win the talent show. I continued my day and went to my classes then after everyone's 4th period they went to the gym for the show. I was so nervous to do it,

but they gave us 25 min to practice and before that, I went to the bathroom and saw who I was going against, and suddenly I just blacked out. After about 5 minutes or so I woke up and went to go clean my face. I look in the mirror and I'm not in my body I'm in someone else's... IM ITHE PERSONS BODY IM

GOING UP AGAINST!!! I was super scared I thought it was all just a big dream and would wake up soon. I

pinched myself so I would wake up but It wasn't a dream at all, I switched bodies. I was freaking out,

I didn't know how to play the piano that well, the only thing I know how to play is twinkle little star. I look over and I see my body and I wake them up and they see me in their body, they also to think this is a dream, but I tell them it's not and we have to do something about it. I explain to her that we have to twist the show and I have come up with an idea. I tell her that we can switch talents and that she can do hers but in my body and I do mine but in her body. We hear the principal say that It will start in 5

min so we rush to tell her our idea and she agrees to it and says it will be fun for the other students and interesting. We walk out and I go first I do what I practiced and just feel the music and drift away... Everything was perfect after the talent show and I ended up winning, well me but in the other person's body.

That day was so fun but stressing and later that night when I fell asleep  I woke up in the morning in my

own body again and life went on as normal after that.

I woke up and I was super excited for the talent show today, I just couldn't wait till I could play the piano. I got ready for school as usual and got on the bus to go to school. I arrived at school and went into the gym to practice. I saw the person I was going up against walk out of the gym with her friend.

I walk in to practice the song I am going to play on the piano for the talent show. I practiced for about

10 minutes and then the bell rang so I went to class. I went on with my day and went to all of my classes as I should. After 4th period the talent show started and everyone went to the gym, and I and the person I was going against had about 25 minutes to practice for the talent show, but before I

practiced I went to the bathroom and saw the person who I was going against and out of now where she blacked out then a couple of seconds later I did as well. I woke up and looked in the mirror to make sure I

was okay and I wasn't in my body anymore I was in the other person's body... I was so scared I

thought it was all a dream then Ashley comes over and me its no dream and it's real and tells me to calm down and that everything will be fine. I was so scared because the talent show was gonna be a

disaster. After all, I had to do what she practiced for and she had to do what I practiced for. She told me an idea that she had and said that we could switch talents, so she would be doing hers in my body and I would be doing g mine but in her body. It was a weird plan and I was skeptical at first but I went through with it. I did what we were supposed to and it was weird at first but after that it was fun and I

was into the music I was playing and I think I did a good job. After we well she played the song perfectly ad did the pitches amazingly. I was super surprised but it and was so happy when I found out

Ashley won. After that, I finished school then got on the bus to go home and just wait till another day of school. both played Ashley won the competition even though it was in my body but she still won. I was happy for her and I finished my day and went to her home and went to bed, and when I woke up I was in my body again, and I was super happy because I was in my own body. I still don't know why that happened, but it did and I have to live with it.

Hope this helps! :)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
