Well, we all know that for 2 minutes, it has to be simple and easy to follow.

Make sure you're clear with the following:

(1) Who's Who
(2) How things got started
(3) How things ended
(4) Event that explain who (2) got to (3) [From starting to end]

Typical ideas can range from:

1) Man steals purse from old lady, old lady screams, Man ran into a wall, knocked himself out, Old lady picks up her purse.

2) Woman sees a cute guy. Woman follows / stalks the cute guy. Woman confronts the cute guy. Cute guy turned out to be a girl with really short haircut.

3) A group of people plans a Surprise Birthday party for a co-worker. The people decideds on who is bring what to the party. Some people disagree with what to bring. People argued. When co-worker arrived at the scene, and tried to resolve the argument, everyone found out that the co-worker's birthday had already passed.

Make something simple from every day life, and add a little 'twist' to it, should work.

Good Luck!

Man gets thrown on bonfire and dies.
Police/News crews/People are at the scene.
Interviews of general public take place....

and so forth

Hey! Well, maybe I can help you. My favorite songs that are "school" apporiate are songs like grease.. I think it would be a good song to end the movie with..if the movie was like on a beach or like in the summer. I think it would be cute. Here, you can look at the song if you want.
