Use each word to write a short narrative. You have five minutes to write your story. You can use the words in any order you choose. Your stories can be serious or funny—use your imagination!

Example: poor | mole | gift | Australia | poem

The writer from Australia looked around him as he got off the plane in Vancouver. He was glad to be off the plane. Flying all that way was no fun, and he was too poor to afford a first-class seat. He checked his bag to make sure he had the gift for his sister, who lived in Surrey. He was planning to see her tomorrow, and then work on writing his new poem after that. Suddenly, something ran across the airport floor. A woman in front of him shrieked, “It’s a mouse!” The writer looked at the creature. “Actually, madam, I believe you’ll find that’s a mole,” he said.
