Story script - wants to impress

This sort of reminds me from an old LICT script I used. Add any additional language you would like. Perhaps, throw in some transition words, or embellish the details to give more language in other ways.

• Wants to impress
• Buys a — for him/her
• Gives it to him/her

My general idea for the story might be:

• Part 1:
• [Character] wants to impress ___. 
• [During time 1], S/he buys a __ for __. 
• S/he buys a __ for __ to impress __. 
• S/he goes to visit __. 
• S/he tells __, “Hello. I bought a __ for you. Are you impressed?”
•  __ is not impressed.
• Part 2:
• [Character] is sad because __ is not impressed with __. 
• So, [character] goes and buys a __ for __. 
• [During time 2], S/he buys a __ for __ to impress __. 
• S/he goes to visit __ again. 
• S/he tells __, “Hello. I bought a __ for you but you weren’t impressed. This time, I bought a __ for you. Are you impressed?” 
• __ is not impressed.
• Part 3:
• [Character] is sad because __ is not impressed with __. 
• So, [character] goes and buys a __ for __. 
• [During time 3], S/he buys a __ for __ to impress __. 
• S/he goes to visit __ again. 
• S/he tells __, “Hello. First, I bought a __ for you but you weren’t impressed. Second, I bought a __ for you but you weren’t impressed. This time, I bought a __ for you. Are you impressed?” 
• __ is impressed.
• (and character’s reaction to the gift. Class can decide if s/he gives a hug or a kiss or destroys it or throws it in the pool, etc.)

Additional ideas to add variety:

• add more dialogue 
• Why isn't [character 2] impressed. What does [character 2] tell [character 1]? Does [character 2] keep a straight face and not respond at all? Does [character 2] simply look at a phone or a hand?
• What does [character 1] say when [character 2] isn't impressed?
• Do friends give [character 1] suggestions because [character 1] doesn't know what to buy?
• add character reactions 
• How does [character] react when [character 2] isn't impressed?
• Does [character 2] throw the gift on the ground or eat it or give it to a dog?
• What does [character 1] do when [character 2] says that [character 2] is not impressed?
• Add words like before / after (before going to the store...
• Add more language in an embedded reading after the story has been told
• Do an embedded reading where [character 2] doesn't have anything for [character 1] now and so [character 2] has to buy something for [character 1]
• Perhaps after flopping, [character] wants to impress 3 different people and goes to each one until the third time is a charm.
• For upper levels, add subjunctive (examples of subjunctive in Spanish). 
• What does she want him to buy for her? 
• Why doesn't she like that he gives her __?
• Is it normal that she isn't impressed by ___.
• For upper levels, add to class discussion:
• What would you buy her?
• What store would you go to for that?
• How much would you pay for it there?

Anyways, happy storytelling!
