Short story to present the phrasal verb 'turn over'

Hello, I am a student at the Univercity of Education in Germany. I have to present a new phrasal verb 'turn over' for an imaginary german class of 12-year-olds. I have to write a short story, which explain the meaning of this phrasal verb.
Is it correct?
"Sara has an exam tomorrow. She is very excited. She went to bed early enough to do well the next day. But she couldn’t fall asleep. She turned over to the left. It did not help. Then she turned over to the right. She was turning over and over in her bed. She didn’t sleep the whole night. She was very tired in the morning."

Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Natallia

Yes, that seems OK. But that is only one meaning of the verb. She turned over a new leaf and got a job.
