Lesson 1: Saving the Rainforest 

Beginning: introduce the characters and the setting 
Middle: something happens like a problem 
The End: The story wraps up with the problem being solved

Deep in the jungle in Tunich Temple, lived a girl, Mindy Oklahoma, and Palenque Caso. They are very adventurous and take on many explorations while living in the jungle. To help them with many tasks, they count on their pet leopard, Balam, who is always by their side. During a relaxing day in the rainforest, Mindy and Palenque were sitting in their tree house when they saw Balam run deeper into the rainforest. They were both confused and decided to follow his lead. After chasing him down, he stopped in front of a big temple. “What is it? What did you find Balam?” Palenque asked. Balam nudged the temple door open for them to walk in. 
​
Mindy and Palenque walked into the dark temple that was only lit up by candles. In front of them was an older man sitting on a throne. “Hello?” Mindy called the man. “Greetings. Mindy, and Palenque. I have called Balam to deliver you a special message. Soon, there are dangerous people who will invade our forest and are planning to take it down. If this happens, the forest will not be here and all of the animals will no longer have homes. We cannot let this happen which is why we need your help. Your duty is to find Cacara, the eagle. It is the only one that will be able to save the rainforest for us all.” The man said.  

“This rainforest is huge. How are we going to find an eagle?” Mindy said. The old man pulled out a feather from a wooden box and handed it to Mindy. “This will be your guide. It is a feather of Cacara. Use Balam to track Cacara’s scent and tell it what I told you.” The man said. Mindy, Palenque, and Balam, left the temple with the feather. “Alright, Balam, this is your duty.” Palenque said as she put the feather up to his nose so he could remember the scent of the eagle. 

Balam’s journey seemed very easy. He was on the lookout and was sniffing his way towards the lost eagle. As he was walking slowly, he fell through a leaf trap on the ground and fell into a dark hole! This wasn’t good for Balam, he had no way of getting out. Climbing the walls wouldn’t work so he cried out for help and nothing seemed to work. Balam was losing hope. This was his mission and he already felt like he failed. He gave one last cry and looked up to see something circling above him in the sky. Could it be? It was Cacara, the eagle! Balam kept crying so loud throughout the hole that it echoed and caught Cacara’s attention. Cacara swooped down to see what was happening and looked into the hole to see the trapped Balam. “Oh no, do you need help?” Cacara asked. “Yes, Cacara, I’ve been looking for you. We need your help. There are people trying to take down the forest and I was called upon a man in the temple to come find you.” Balam said. 

Cacara had incredible strength and flew into the hole grabbing Balam with its feet and bringing him up and out of the hole. “I will save the forest and make sure it doesn’t happen. You go and return back to home.” Cacara said, as he flew away fast. Cacara knew what to do and when Balam returned home, he told Mindy and Palenque what happened. “That’s crazy! Good job, Balam, you did it!” Mindy and Palenque said as he pet his head. The forest was saved from Deforestation now that Cacara made a deal with the people and they promised to not touch the forest and instead, was able to make their own homes there where they all lived in peace.


Lesson 2: The Missing Map



The End: The story wraps up with the problem being solved

<<Beginning: introduce the characters and the setting>>
Crazy Bearde, the most famous pirate of the land. He was known for discovering new islands and claiming them as his own and finding all the treasures each island had. Crazy Bearde and his sidekick, Mr. Jinx, were on their way to find the hidden island. “Do you need the map now, sir?” Mr. Jinx asked. “No, not yet. I know my way around for now.” Crazy Bearde said as he started up the pirate ship and sailed out of ShipShape Cove. They sailed off for a few miles until the weather began to become very windy and rocked the ship along with the waves. “Crazy Bearde, I don’t think we’re going the right way. I don’t think there is supposed to be any bad weather on the way there.” Mr. Jinx said to Crazy Bearde. “It’s just a little wind and fog. There’s nothing bad about that. I went this way many, many, times.” Crazy Bearde said. 

<<Middle: something happens like a problem>>
Soon, the weather began to get worse. The wind picked up and the waves were getting higher and higher, to where it was very hard to control the  ship. “The map! Get the map!” Crazy Bearde said as he was trying to control the ship. Mr. Jinx ran inside the ship and went through everything in his room and could not find it! “Oh, no! It’s gone!” Mr. Jinx was scared to tell Crazy Bearde. “Did you find it?” Crazy Bearde asked. “Uh, no, I can’t find it.” Jinx said nervously while hiding. “What do you mean? Where is it!?” Crazy Bearde said in anger.  “I don’t know! I left it on the desk and now it’s gone!” Mr. Jinx said. 

Now, the ship was in grave danger. They were sailing far far away and Crazy Bearde didn’t know where to go and how to get back. The weather stopped but now, they were miles away from their main island. Who knew when they were going to get back. Crazy Bearde was not happy. He felt like he wasn’t a good pirate because he couldn’t get them back and couldn’t find his map. “What are we going to do?” Mr. Jinx said, sitting down on a barrel. “I don’t know, but we need to find this map soon or else we may be stuck here.” Crazy Bearde said. After it seemed like all hope was lost, Leo Bones, another pirate who worked for Crazy Bearde came over to them. “Why so sad, guys?” he asked. “We lost the map to the hidden island and now we’re lost in the middle of nowhere.” Mr. Jinx said with a frown. “Well, what does it look like? Maybe I can help!” Leo Bones said. “It’s colorful and ripped up. It has an X on it.” Crazy Bones said. Leo Bones eyes grew wide. He knew exactly where the map was. “Hold on!” he said, as he ran towards his room. He grabbed the map off his wall and then handed it back to Crazy Bearde.  “I saw this pretty picture and I put it on my wall.” Leo Bones said while laughing. 

Leo Bones had the map this whole time and Crazy Bearde went through the storm for nothing but the adventure didn't end there, they followed the map and went to the island and collected the treasure. Now, they were off to find another island.

Lesson 3: The Tale of Sharkonopter

The End: The story wraps up with the problem being solved

The world has many superheroes like Batman, Spiderman, Superman, but there are two people who are not like them, but still fight crime every single day. Their names are Agent Alana and Agent Enstrom and they are the world’s most top secret spies here to save the world from danger. Alana and Enstrom started their day out by heading to their secret lab through their portal tube that took them underground. When they got there, the computer screen lit up with a message to open. It was the mayor of the town! “Hello, Alana and Enstrom, the town needs your help. Someone by the name of Lord Elder, is planning on taking over the world with something he created called the Sharkonopter. He is currently located on Sneaky Peak, a snowy mountain lair. 

The Sharkonopter would brainwash people to listen to Lord Elder so they could help him take over the world! Agent Alana and Agent Enstrom were ready to take on Lord Elder and save the world. Afterall, they were professional spies that could do anything! The two agents took their Spy car that was created just for them. It was an invisible car that could go anywhere without people seeing it and them. The agents drove towards the highest mountain and snuck their way to the back where they couldn’t be seen. They looked through the window and saw Lord Elder writing his plans for world domination. “I will first brainwash the president and then take over the town and after that, everyone will be on my side to take over the world!” Lord Elder laughed evilly. “We have to get him to change his mind but how?” Enstrom asked. “What if we get him to use the Sharkonopter for good like recycling? And we tell him the only way to take over the world is to recycle?” Enstrom suggested. 

“That’s a great idea!” Alana said. The two of them walked into his lair. “Lord Elder! We have come to help you!” Alana said loudly. Elder looked at them and walked to them. “How can you help me?” He asked. “We’re here to help you make your Sharkonopter even better.” Alana said. “Great! I could always use more help. Follow me.” He said as they were walking to it. Alana and Enstrom high fived since their plan was working. 
“Here it is. It is going to brainwash everyone so I can take over the world.” He said evilly. “To brainwash people even faster and take over the world, what if you made it recycle cans, bottles, and paper? There’s a lot of that in the world and for everything you recycle, people will become brainwashed!” Enstrom said. “That’s a brilliant idea. I will reprogram it to recycle and when I do good, people will be easier to brainwash.” Elder said. Elder then began to reprogram the Sharkonopter so it would recycle. Elder didn’t know, it would not brainwash people but make them want to recycle too. 

Agent Alana and Enstrom drove away since their job was done. Lord Elder kept recycling until everyone in the town and the world began to recycle because he was. Elder thought he was brainwashing people to do bad things, but he made them do good, just like everyone should be doing. Great job Agent Alana and Agent Enstrom, you saved the world again!
