How to Build a Card House Building card houses is a fun way to spend a rainy
afternoon. All you need is a deck of cards and a large floor
area. Begin by forming an upside-down V with two cards.
Place several of these in a row close together. Place a
third and fourth card horizontally on either side of each
upside-down V. This will help stabilize the base. Then,
you can layer cards across the tops of the V's. This will
become the floor of your second level. Continue building
V's, walls, and roofs until you run out of cards. See how
high you can make your card house before it falls down.
Read the passage carefully. How can the speaker
strengthen this statement: "Place several of these in a
row close together"? Select two choices.
identify how much space to leave between each V
identify the types of cards to use
clarify what is meant by "several"
state the goal of the procedure again
restate how to set the cards
