Copywork
About This Passage
Mary Pope Osborne builds the dungeon out of two short sentences full of strong nouns: chains, walls, water, ceiling, puddles, floor. Students will practice copying short sentences that use rich nouns to paint a scary place.
There were chains hanging from the filthy walls. Water dripped from the ceiling, making puddles on the stone floor.
