Copywork
About This Passage
Mary Pope Osborne shows a brave act in four short sentences. Each sentence is one small step. The last sentence shows how scared Jack is, even though he is doing the right thing. Students will practice copying short sentences that show a brave action and a scared body at the same time.
She handed him the gold scepter. The Egyptian lady stopped in front of them. Jack held out the scepter. His hand was trembling.
