Kids have to create the following:

setting, situation, characters, relationships between the characters, conflict,
resolution of the conflict
The
beginning where the setting, characters, situation, conflict are introduced
The
middle where the conflict escalates.
The
end where the conflict is resolved.
Continue working on the Five Minute Sitcom
The first act, the setting, the situation, the characters,
and their relationships are introduced. At some point – maybe the end of the
first act - a conflict arises.
In the second act, there are plot points and twists that cause
a climax at the end of the second act. The climax is where the highest moment
of excitement occurs, or the moment where the protagonist or the antagonist’s
fate changes for better or for worse.
In the third act, there is the resolution, and the falling
action or the denouement occurs.
There are no unanswered questions.

Beverly - "Merti Dickinson", counselor
Cooper - "Steven", angry nerd
Kamron - "Da'Quom Robinson", jock
