Today we read about the typical structure of the prophetic stories. They usually feature someone with a calling from God, who then tries to avoid doing God's will. God gives the prophet a message to transmit, and ultimately the life of the prophet is difficult.
After reading 2 stories of prophecy (Moses and Jeremiah), I asked students to write their own stories, set either during Biblical times or the present, featuring all of these elements. The stories were wonderful! I asked all of the kids to take them home and share them with their parents immediately. If yours was in school and didn't give it to you, please ask!
