Dave's Pilot Report

Greek Root: -graph- (write) 3rd Phase 6
Dave's Pilot Report

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.
