6. Short anecdote or dialogue
The Gladiators trudged into the locker room after a tough first half of play with the Gators. The players wondered how they could have lost control of the game; the Gators were considered an easy win. They couldn’t believe that coming late to practice, not completing their drills, and not reviewing the playbook would obstruct their path to an undefeated season.

16. NOW THAT WE KNOW THE GAME PLAN, LET’S LOOK AT THIS INTRO
NOW THAT WE KNOW THE GAME PLAN, LET’S LOOK AT THIS INTRO! (This prompt was about good work habits!)
My English teacher always remarks, “There’s no substitute for hard work.” Though students would never admit this to her, she is 100% correct! This philosophy also applies outside the classroom; it is vital in the workplace. An employee can not show up to work and catch up on her beauty rest; she actually has to work! While that may seem easy, it’s not that simple. To be a quality worker, one must be punctual, positive, and prepared. That is the formula for success!
