You may choose a low mass or high mass star. You will need the content in nest week's session to complete your story. Last week, you did the following:</span></strong></p> <p style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; word-wrap: normal; line-height: 16.8px; word-break: normal;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; word-wrap: normal; word-break: normal; font-size: 16px;">1.

Use the characteristics of your star to write a story. Start with the star's birth as a protostar (oh look! so cute!...) to the final death throws.
