  • Q3
    As I tried to write my speech to become class president, I couldn’t find the right words. I would write one sentence down, reread it, and crumple up the paper. Then I would open up the wrinkled and bent paper to reread the sentence again. There was a big collection of crushed papers around my trash can. Writing a speech was harder than I thought! What does the word "crumple" mean?

    When the leaves fall from the trees, they cover my yard. On the weekends, my brother and I rake and put the leaves into piles.

It gives us more work with the rake, but it’s fun to watch the leaves spread out as they drift to the ground. What does the word "scatter" mean?

    go around
    spread out
    grow taller
