***Notice in the example below that new paragraphs are
used often. I had the students think of these paragraph breaks like
camera shots on TV. I would rather students have too many paragraphs than
not enough. I sat down with many students today at their computers and

Story
The Telephone Rang
By Marc L.
One day I was sitting down watching TV, when the telephone rang. I got up and answered it. I couldn't believe who it was! It was the owner of the pet store. She said I'd won a cat! Then she said, “Excuse me, I have a customer who needs help.” She put me on hold.
I sat waiting for a long time, and then I hung up.
I started watching TV again, and the phone rang again. It was the host of a TV show. “You've won a million dollars!” he said. Then he put me on hold because he had to get back to his show.
I waited and waited, and finally I hung up.
