- Tomorrow, we'll have a Zoom show-and-tell for all the students who want to share their character snapshots (I am SO excited for these stories!)
Strong, vibrant characters may drive a good story, but the engine behind any great story is CONFLICT. It’s simply not enough for a writer to describe a character. In order for a story to leap off the page, its characters must face tough challenges. In fiction, conflict comes in many shapes and sizes. In fact, one of the best ways to show what your characters are made of is to place them in difficult situations (::ahem:: character traits ::ahem::).
- Characters v. Characters: One of the most effective ways to create conflict is to create characters with opposing goals. In these stories, characters must use everything in their arsenals to get what they want from each other.
- Characters v. The World: When the character has to struggle against external events or circumstances (ie. all of our amazing healthcare workers who are fighting the Coronavirus!).
- Characters v. Nature: When the character struggles against, you guessed it, nature! This can be a blizzard, a tsunami, forest fires, etc.
- Characters v. Themselves: Sometimes a character can be his/her own worst enemy.

Mindfulness with Ms. Adams
An affirmation is a short, simple statement. Using affirmations daily has been proven to increase positive thinking rather than negative. In other words, you take control of your way of thinking.
Here are a few examples:
1. I breathe in relaxation; I breathe out tension.
2. I am capable of solving any problems that face me.
3. I am ridding my mind of negative thoughts and filling it with positive ones.
4. I am more and more calm with each deep breath I take.
5. I am attracting positive energy into my body.
6. I have the ability to overcome anxiety.
7. My mind is clearing, and I am in control.
8. I am freeing myself from stress.
9. I am relaxing each part of my body.
10. I am more and more calm with each deep breath I take.
Take one or two of these affirmations or make up some of your own and say them to yourself regularly through the day. Pin them up somewhere that you can see them throughout your day.
Being positive and using affirmative statements can change your life dramatically in a great way. Like most things, it will get easier each time you do it.
