 * **Task Description:** **(T)** ||
 * You are an up-and-coming autobiographer, looking to make it big in New York CIty. You hear that there is a new Chicken Soup for the Soul book coming out, and decide to submit one of your stories for entry into the book. When you inquire about the details, however, you discover that there is a requested format for the entry. The Editor's Board at Chicken Soup for the Soul is a //very// busy group of people. They don't have time to flip through the pages and pages of every single story being submitted during their free time. What they have decided to do is meet in the afternoons and review the stories together, taking a vote to decide which ones will make it into the final round. Since one of the board members is an international correspondent with a limited proficiency in English, the board has requested that each personal narrative be submitted in the form of a digital story - using iMovie to illustrate it with pictures and/or video so the board member who is an English language learner can follow along and have an equal vote. Your task is to create an iMovie representation that captures the major components of your personal narrative to submit to the board for review. If you submit your movie on time, you could be in the next Chicken Soup for the Soul! ||
