A Minute in the Mind

This lesson is stupid

When will class be over

How can this go on any longer

That's interesting

I didn’t know the world worked like that

Could everything I learn be this interesting

If I really try

To understand

No

This must be a one time thing

Nothing in school is this interesting

But maybe if I really pay attention

To what is suggested

I could learn interesting things

Minute

Enter the mind of a character in an interesting, difficult, funny, or odd situation and describe what they are thinking over the course of one minute. Match your story to "real time," so that it only takes about one minute to read.
