Conrad is dreaming of constructing a building during class.

Conrad's teacher, who knows him well, asks him, "Would you like to help me build something for today's lesson?" Surprised,

Conrad gives a teacher a smile and nods his head.

I can do it!

Conrad's teacher asks, "What are some of the most important building blocks in a sentence?"

Here come some of my favorite parts!

Conrad is confused when the teacher asks, "Name for me some people, places, or things--all subjects that we like to talk about."

Conrad is so excited by what his peers are saying. He chooses rollercoasters.

Good choice!

Rollercoasters!

The teacher asks for a person who will be on the rollercoaster.

"Good," says the teacher, "now that we chose Cindy, what will Cindy do on the rollercoaster?"

What do people do on

rollercoasters?

"Good choice, Conrad! Cindy will ride the rollercoaster."

I think we can make this sentence

more exciting!

Cindy rides rollercoasters

The teacher asks, "Describe Cindy as she rides the rollercoaster."

"Good, so Conrad, build the sentence: Scared Cindy rides rollercoasters."

Cindy rides rollercoasters

Fearless

"Good, now how can we describe the rollercoaster?"

You can never have enough!

Conrad begins to build the sentence: Fearless Cindy rides the fast rollercoaster.

Cindy

Fearless

rides rollercoasters

fast
