My youth writing committee loved the American Idol idea (we are now doing Roadshow Idol) and they even have a heart warming moral at the end.

I'm sure your ideas are completely original Leanna, but there are Hershey bars on the line, fresh ones straight from the factory. So, Julie, if you go with Leanna's ideas, I think I should get at least one Hershey bar because I mentioned fairy tales first.<BR/><BR/>Boy, this blogger-brainstorm Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906940679027657843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660764619120593708.post-44177062743855153732008-03-31T15:03:00.000-07:002008-03-31T15:03:00.000-07:00Okay I know I'm a bit late on this, but that's bec...Okay I know I'm a bit late on this, but that's because I've been trying to think up a winner.

I'd do anything for Hershey's bars!)<BR/><BR/>Actually I don't know if this is a winner, but I have been doing some fun stuff with my 6th graders with fairy tales that I think you could translate into a road show. <BR/><BR/>I had them do three things.

You could do some American Idol /America's Got Talent spoof, with each contestant or dance team a different scripture character(s). You have lots of parts:<BR/>Judges, (example: Nephi, Laman, and Lemuel could be the three judges.) fans that can talk about the performance, a E.

Anyway, anytime I hear the words "my happy ending" it always seems to be ironic, like someones entire universe fell apart and thats their "happy" ending. It almost seems "into the woods"-esque where everythings hunky dory the first act and then the bad stuff happens in the second. I don't have any experience with Roadshows, are they supposed to be happy events?

What a shock. <BR/><BR/>Julie-<BR/>I think you should write the heartwarming tale of Molly Mormon and Peter Priesthood. You know the story--two young Latter-day Saints who stalwartly follow the prophet. They both graduate seminary, go to BYU, fall in love, get married, and have 17 children. It's a touching story, really. <BR/><BR/>Or for Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05846223696069755307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660764619120593708.post-16209329150174003092008-03-26T19:06:00.000-07:002008-03-26T19:06:00.000-07:00Julie,As you were talking about lonliness I though...Julie,<BR/>As you were talking about lonliness I thought to myself, "finally someone expressed why I'm so scared to go to grad school." Loneliness. I don't know of much else that scares me more. <BR/>Can't help you much with the road show thing. . . except that we're supposed to grow from "trials." I don't think they intended it to be that, but it seems like it from my perspective.
