Albert the collector.

WHERE WERE WE????

Reread the instructions at the top of the page. Then follow those instructions using the paragraph about Albert. When you are done, compare your work with your neighbors. If you highlighted things differently, discuss your different answers.

Albert is a collector. His favorite collection consists of hundreds of maps. He has a section of ancient maps, which includes a slab of rock upon which has been carved the path to the brontosaurus pit that he claims is authentic. He owns every map of Idaho ever drawn, including one done by his cousin Phil in crayon on the back of a newspaper. His most useful map hangs just inside his bedroom door in a frame, showing how to get to his bed, hidden behind the stacks of his belongings. He has several other unique collections; some more unique than others. He has an extensive stamp collection and his toe nail clipping collection is the topic of much discussion. The vacuum bag collection that decorates his book shelf is one of a kind. Albert loves to vacuum the house for his parents. He has a rock collection, a fruit pit collection, and even a used staples collection.
