GRAMMAR
Introduction
Hi Grammarians! Today, we will be reviewing how we list adjectives when we are trying to use many words to describe one item.
You may ask yourself... why do English speakers organize their adjectives? Well, some say that we organize our adjectives by importance. The least important thing goes first followed by the most important adjective closest to the thing it is describing. This isn't ALWAYS true, but English can be tricky sometimes!

READING
Introduction
Hi readers! Today we will be discussing nonfiction summaries.
Summaries are used when we want to know about the whole text, but in a few short sentences. Summarizing helps us understand what we read as we read it!
