Me? Scared? Think of a time in your life when you were very brave in a frightening situation. Draw a frame on a piece of paper and sketch in the most exciting moment of your story. Where were you at the time? Was it day or night? Were you alone or with other people? What was challenging to you? How did you react? Are you going to leave the viewers in suspense, or will you tell them how it all worked out? At the bottom of the picture frame draw a rectangular box, and in that space, write a few sentences to tell people about your bravery and your success, and describe what you learned from the experience.
