  1. Question 1

    Put these in order, from first to last.

    Ravi's Rocks

    Ravi was going to share his rock collection at show and tell on Monday. All weekend, his stomach felt fluttery whenever he thought about talking in front of the whole class.

    On Sunday, Ravi practiced his talk for his mom. Then he practiced for his little sister. Last of all, he practiced for the cat, who yawned. Each time, Ravi spoke a little more clearly.

    On Monday, Ravi held up a shiny piece of quartz. His voice wobbled at first, but then he remembered his practice. He told the class where he had found each rock. When he finished, so many hands went up with questions that the bell rang before he could answer them all.
