  4. Practice: Can you make a general statement? Whenever Nancy has a glass of chocolate milk, her cat Archie wants to share it. He comes running when he hears her open the refrigerator. If she pulls out the chocolate milk, he meows until she pours some for him.

  5. Practice: Can you make a general statement? Squirrels are rodents that use their strong front teeth for breaking nuts. Beavers are rodents that use their front teeth for gnawing wood. Rats and mice are rodents that can use their front teeth for gnawing through plaster walls. Even pet rodents, like hamsters and gerbils, chew on sticks of wood to keep their teeth strong.

  9. POINT OF VIEW 2) First-person: This point of view occurs when the story is told by one of the characters. The character speaks as “I”. 3) Third-person: In this point of view the narrator zooms in on the thoughts and feelings of just one character in the story.
