Read the excerpt from the story The Mystery of the Missing Library Books: I stared in disbelief. Turning, I walked towards the new releases section, but most of the shelves were as empty as overturned buckets. Sandra, my sidekick, was hidden behind her pile of books. She updated me on detective gear, handed me a glass of water, and introduced our next assignment. We would be investigating the missing library books. I looked at Sandra, reluctant to investigate books.

Read the excerpt from the play An Adventure for Detective Dennis:

SANDRA: (Lowers her book) It's nice to see you ready for another adventure, Dennis. Here is the latest detective gear that arrived for you, but I still think that my invisible powder invention works better than the invisible chalk. A couple of my inventions will be ready for field testing next week. Until then, you can investigate the missing library books. (Dennis looks at Sandra with a pained expression on his face.)

Read the excerpt from dominique’s personal narrative. tired of waiting for the bus, which was late for the fifth day in a row, i sat leafing through an old magazine i had stuffed in my purse the previous night. it was terribly warm for a september afternoon, and the sun cast fleeting shadows on the bus stop sign with each car that passed. i wondered when the weather would get cooler and when the new bus driver would start arriving on time. it was about then that i first noticed the apparent agitation of the man sitting next to me. finally, the bus arrived and ambled to a gradual stop directly in front of the restless man. the doors widened, and the bus driver greeted the man with his usual banter in his usual monotone. "good afternoon. how are you today? ” when writing the next few lines of dialogue, dominique should be certain that the lines provide clues about what will happen later on in the narrative. contain made-up details that make the story more exciting. include everyday language that seems real and natural. use precise words that make both men sound educated.
