    What kind of vocab are you supposed to use? And what about using past, present, future, etc tenses?

    Past, atleast 10 past tense verbs about what something used to do.

    So would something like "El chico caminĂ³ en la ciudad = The boy walked into the city" work? All you have to do is grab some verbs off the internet and weave some easy story. I don't know your vocab but in my Spanish class, we are working on giving and recieving directions so I could make a story of how a boy wondered around a city.

    e: Oh, just read the rest of your post. What do you mean exactly by "what something used to do"? Example pl0x.

    Ah, the imperfect. I did a project similar to this a few years back, my story started out with a boy in the summer time, his parents going to work, and the things he did throughout the day until his parents came back. Then he ate dinner.

    From what I remember, he climb (climbed/clombed? lol) trees, he played soccer, and some other basic things. Just think of simple around the house things to do. Easy to draw too

    If you need help with words or grammar - just quote me and I'll be there for you :P

    I wouldn't enjoy writing it for you very much, but I would be willing to help you with questions about certain translations.

    You may want to think about common themes that lie within children's stories.

    As a note: animals are extremely prevalent.
