About This Passage
Mary Pope Osborne shows the wish that starts the adventure in three short sentences. Each sentence is one beat: pointing, wishing, the wind starting. Students will practice copying short sentences that show how a wish becomes a journey.
Annie pointed to the picture in the book. I wish we could go to that ship, she said. The wind started to blow.
