Let’s read this passage together:

MODEL Passage :
What a long day today! Laurie really took all the patience
I had. What was that child thinking? Kicking my friend John
was totally unexpected. All John did was ask him to touch
his toes! I’ve tried having Laurie stand in the corner and
keeping him after class, but nothing in my teacher prep
courses prepared me for this child. His parents must have
their hands full with him at home.
Last week it was pounding his feet during story time,
hitting me, and bouncing the teeter-totter on Julie’s head.
He’s thrown chalk and yelled during my lessons. What on
earth am I going to do with that child next? I hope I can visit
with his mother soon, maybe after next week’s PTA meeting.

money right now since Dad got laid off from his job,” I thought to 3.
myself.
Turning to my friends Garrett and Allyson, I said, "I am definitely
going to enter the competition."
Garrett replied, "Mateo, you know I think you might just win first
place. You are the best Guitar Hero player in our neighborhood."
Echoing Garrett's vote of confidence, Allyson said, "Yeah, you
definitely have a shot at winning. I'm not doing anything this
weekend, so I can come along to cheer for you. Garrett, are you
in?"
"You bet; I will be there," Garrett answered.
Pulling the door open, I strode into the video game store to find
