Our fourth assignment (and a personal favorite of mine to work on) was "Gags and Humor". We were given a choice of a three possible prompts to work off of, and I chose this one: "A PENGUIN is trying to fill up a slurpee cup at a slurpee machine that is much taller than him"

Our fifth and final assignment-- we were to "become storytellers" and portray a given prompt. I chose this one to follow:
Kid wakes up late for what he thinks is a school morning. The kid is always late and CAN’T be late again. He’s instantly in a hurry and panicked and not getting ready easily. Everything, that can go wrong and delay him, does go wrong and delay him. He finally gets going but, in the end he will realize on the calendar (or phone, newspaper, younger sibling watching cartoons or something else) that it is Saturday and he coulda slept in until noon.
