What you read today

Sentence Island, pages 109–113 — the chapter Mud Learns to Agree.

This lesson's text is the book itself. Your teacher has the pages; read them with the class, then do the work on your sheet.

Remember
Read it as a writer: not only what happens, but what the author did to make it happen that way.
Ask yourself: “One or many — and does my verb match?”

Remember

The parts must agree with each other.
