Using "short" words, list three things you already know about an orange.

Your list might look like this:

tastes good
bumpy skin
must peel to eat


Now S T R E T C H those words to make three sentences

A cold orange tastes good on a hot summer day.
An orange has a bumpy skin that smells good.
You must peel an orange to eat it.


Don't forget to use a capital letter at the beginning of each sentence and a punctuation mark at the end!

1. Begin by listing what you know -- use short words

2. S T R E T C H your short words into good sentences

3. Use a capital letter at the beginning of each sentence and use a proper punctuation to end the sentence.
