Three O'clock High

Three O’clock high is a movie that was made in the 1980’s. Its about a
High School student who is a member of a high school newspaper club.
He was elected to interview a new student who had a bad reputation.
No one wanted to interview the new kid Buddy, so Jerry Mitchell was
elected. As Jerry tried to interview Buddy, Jerry touched him and Buddy
challenge Jerry to a fight.

This is the conflict of the story. At that moment, Jerry spent the day trying
to get out of the fight.
Personal Narrative
 You
will write a personal narrative
(First Person) on a fight that is going
to take place. We have read
Amigo Brothers and we learned
how the fight ended. You will have
that same opportunity to create a
story and the ending of the story.
The Beginning

You are the main character. You are writing a personal narrative.
That means you are the main character. Telling a story in first
person means you see very little of the story, but you know what
you are thinking, feeling, and see.

Let us get to know you as a character. Start when you wake up
and let see who you are. Don’t just pass this time up. Developing
your characters is very important. This will make us like the story
more.

The lack of character development will allow us not to care the
story.
The Beginning

Introduce the minor character too.

During this time, introducing the Antagonist will
be good. This will lead us to the conflict. Take
time to show how mean he is why you should
hate this person.
The Beginning

The end of the beginning is the conflict. This is
where we find out the problem of the story. In the
movie, Buddy challenges Jerry to a fight. Jerry
doesn’t want to fight Buddy so the movie is about
Jerry trying to get out of the fight.

In your story, this is going to be you conflict. You
are going to try to get out of the fight.
The middle
This is the rising action. This is the part where we
have minor conflicts. Each minor conflict will
have a solution to it. It moves the story forward
to the solution of the major conflict.
 In your story, each minor conflict should be you
trying to get out of the fight. If you get out of
the fight, the story is over so you can. That is
the solution.

The middle

You need to find a way not to be able to leave
school.

You should have three or four different ways to
get out of school. One way should be in the
beginning of school. One could be at lunch,
and the last could be in the afternoon.
The middle

As the main character tries to find a way out,
create more characters.

Each event should add to the suspense of the
story. If the event to get more suspenseful
each time, you will have a dull middle and
people will stop reading your story.
The middle

You should end the middle part of your story
with the climax.

In our story, the climax is whether you fight or
not. Extend this part. In TV shows, they cut to a
commercial. Describe more what's going on.
The End

This is the start to the end.

Once the fight happened, you solve the
conflict by fighting.

In the fight, you decides who wins.

If you win, everyone thinks you are great

If you lose maybe you get the pity vote.
The End

Someone helps you and you become great
friends. So you win in the end.

Describe the fight in complete blow by blow
details.
The End

The resolution (the laugh) should start after the
fight. You can start the next day. This is your
choice. You have options.

How will the school see you

How did this fight change you for the better?

Make this story happy at the end.
The End

Jerry was happy at the end.
