Diagramming Sentences: Alice s Adventures in Wonderland In the first chapter of Aliceʼs Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll, Alice chases a rabbit down a rabbit hole, only to find a wonderful, strange world. As you read, notice how you get caught up in the action and also notice how many adjectives the author uses to paint a very clear picture of a place weʼve never seen or even imagined. DIRECTIONS Circle the noun that is the subject of every sentence. There may be more than one! Underline every verb that shows the action in each sentence. One sentence can have more than one verb! Place an X over every adjective that describes something. Place parentheses ( ) around every preposition that tells where something is. CHAPTER 1 Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway; `and even if my head would go through,' thought poor Alice, `it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only know how to begin.' For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.

Name Finding the Main Idea Read the paragraph below. Then, determine the main idea and four supporting details. Life Cycle of a Butterfly When you see a butterfly, what is the first thing you look at? Many people concentrate on the beautiful colors colourful or patterns on the butterfly's wings. But remember that butterflies are not born with beautiful wings. In fact, they go through what are known as life cycles, meaning their lives follow different steps for them to become butterflies. Step One: the egg. Every butterfly begins its life as a tiny egg. Step Two: the larva. You probably know this stage very well. Another name for the larva is caterpillar! The caterpillar hatches from the egg and immediately begins to eat things like leaves. Step Three: the pupa. This is the stage where the caterpillar goes into what looks like a tight green sleeping bag. You may have seen one of these hanging on a branch before. This is where the caterpillar goes before the final step. Step Four: adult. Also known as the beautiful butterfly! The butterfly emerges from the pupa and stretches out its wings before it takes off for flight! Complete the figure below with the main idea and four supporting ideas from the text.
