What you read today

Paragraph Town, pages 5–9 — the chapter Fishmeal, Queequack, and the Sentence.

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: “What do these sentences have in common?”

Remember

A paragraph is a town, not a pile of houses.
