This is the first story I did with my 6th Graders using the Story Circle method of madlib stories. In this story, I tried to focus on using more complex sentences (more than one clause per sentence) than these stories normally have. As such, this might be better for students who have had more experience with TPRS and Embedded Reading

Patricia tiene un problema. ¡OH NO!
