Introduction
(5 minutes)- Draw students in by telling a brief story about a bad day -- make something up if necessary (e.g. I forgot to set my alarm and I woke up late, I spilled coffee on my favorite shirt and I had to change into something else, I ran over some nails on the road and I got a flat tire, it started to rain and I didn’t have my umbrella so I got all wet, I put too much salt on my lunch and it didn’t taste good).
