Kavi Looks Back on the Whole Year

"Look how far you have flown this year, clever writer!" cheered Kavi. "We flipped sentences between the active and passive voice; we used the past perfect — had left, had seen — to show what happened first; we added detail with relative clauses (who for people, which for things); we joined ideas with the semicolon and opened lists with the colon; we showed how sure we were with modal verbs like might and must; we built if … then sentences; we felt the connotation a word carries; and we learned to weigh a claim before we trust it. Today we use all of it together — let's show what we know!"
