 * Text Example:** You will write the script first and have it approved for recording. Use the rubric.

Sample script: In the historical fiction book called __Light in the Forest__, events from history are played out in the plot created by the author Conrad Richter. This book belongs in the historical fiction genre because of its setting in and around the real release of Lenni Lenape captives in 1764. This release came about by a treaty signed by the Indians and Colonel Bouquet, a real colonel of the US army at that time in history. The main characters of the book, True Son and his Indian father, Cuyloga, were created by Richter to represent real people who actually were taken captive and later released by this treaty.
