Greetings!

I think the easiest way to begin an assignment like this is with a list--in this case, a list of idioms. If you can't come up with enough yourself, just do an internet search with the terms "list idioms" and you'll get some helpful sites. I found these, for example:

as easy as pie
beat around the bush
catch some Zs
can't make heads or tails of
an eager beaver
if I had my druthers
ditch class
pull an all-nighter
keep one's nose to the grindstone
sleep on it

Then, look at what you've got and see what kind of story you can construct from it. For instance:

I thought it would be easy as pie to write an essay using idioms. I certainly did not want to beat around the bush because I needed to catch some Zs, but I soon realized that I could not make heads or tails of the assignment. Normally, I am quite the eager beaver when it comes to studying, but in this instance, if I had my druthers, I would ditch class rather than have to keep my nose to the grindstone and pull an all-nighter. On second thought, maybe I should sleep on it.

That was fun! See what you can come up with!
