For Example:
1. I picked the word “sunscreen” from the “words” bag
2. I travel to a station and pick out the literary term, “hyperbole”
3. I take my word and term back to my desk and figure out how to include that word in a hyperbole
4. I write my final sentence on the piece of paper at that station:
When I was a camp counselor, I always made sure to reapply my sunscreen at least 2 billion times a day.
