I was for once ecstatic about taking my math facts test at school, because I had studied the night before. I knew if I passed my test I would get to go to a movie that weekend. • As I got ready for school that morning, I kept repeating my math facts to myself. My older brother started to mock me which really made me mad. My mother hurried me into our car which she had let idle to warm up the engine. The car started out of the driveway when it chugged and stopped. I was worried that I would not get to school on time to take my test, and I was on the verge of breaking into a cold sweat from being so nervous. • •Story Blaster Example (cont) My mother started the car up and drove me to school. I was on time!! • I took my math facts test and got all the problems right. I guess my mother was right when she said I had the potential to learn the math facts. • Movie Scripts •CCSS Vocabulary Standards Grade 3 • RL.3.4 Reading- Literature Language • L.3.4 • L.3.5 • L.3.6 • RI.3.4 ReadingInfo Text Speaking and Listening • SL.3.5 • SL.3.6 Vocabulary Essential for Students’ Writing Skills
