Dave had a big report for his class. He needed to write a short biography.
He chose to write about a famous pilot. Dave got out his graphite pencil.
He wrote a long paragraph about the pilot.
Next, Dave looked at a book about geography. He had to see where the pilot flew.
Dave drew a diagram of the plane.
Then he found a photograph to place on top.
"Look at my work!" Dave said to Jane.
"That is a grand report," Jane smiled.
