A three-sentence story about a green frog ("I see a frog. Can it jump? Wow, it jumps so high!") starts with an empty place at the end of each sentence, and three cards hold a period, a question mark and an exclamation mark. One sentence at a time, the video shows that it tells, asks or shows a strong feeling while the frog acts it out, flies the matching mark into place, rereads the finished story and ends on the recap "End sentences with a period, question mark or exclamation mark."
