For example, steps are needed to solve a math problem and also to set up a board game. Steps in a Process words like first, next, last, then, and begin often give the order in which the steps should be done. Sometimes the order of steps is given by using numbered or lettered lists.

List unknown words ending with –s that you encountered as you read “The Gardener.” Create a chart showing the unknown word, the base word, and the word’s meaning.
