So, the other day we had a seminar (thing we do at our school) about whether or not America was number 1. I was like ch-yes....but anyway, so after a seminar, we have Post-Seminars, which are basically essays we have to write about a question the teacher asks that relates to the seminar. So today me and another kid in class didn't have them (i forgot) so we decided to ask the teacher if we could do a skit instead of an essay. So she said ok and we got up in front of the class and improved a skit that wasn't half bad. The only bad part was that after the skit, the teacher asked for a script of it...so we wrote out what we remembered from it and turned it in. And i think we got a hundred.....yay for improv skits!
