Verbs are deceptive and like to disguise themselves. Young linguists identify verbals, specifically gerunds, infinitives, and participles when analyzing the third stage of Carlotta's journey in the novel A Mighty Long Way. Bridge builders also connect the ideas in the story to those in the Declaration of Independence.

Instructional Ideas

Classroom Considerations

- A portion relies on a note-catcher started in earlier lessons in the series and not in the resources
Pros
- Offers cross-curricular connections with foreign language and social studies
- Furnishes suggested questions and pages in the book where answers may be found
