Copywork
About This Passage
Mary Pope Osborne lets the ghost queen speak in three short sentences. Each one tells us something important: her name, her title, and what she wants. Students will practice copying the words a queen might say.
I am Hutapy, she said. Queen of the Nile. Have you come to help me?

Discussion Questions

- Annie offers to help right away. Jack is too scared to speak. Was it brave for Annie to say yes so fast, or was Jack right to be careful first? What makes you think so?
