the following events from the story using a time line. Draw a straight
line across a blank page for your time line. Put the following
events from the story where you and your friend think they belong on the
time line. Some of the events have been entered for you.
Now read the story. Which events need to be moved? Why? Prepare a final copy of the time line and turn it in to your teacher. Be sure to write your name and the name of your friend on the final copy. |
