Read the following draft of a story that Roderick is writing for a class assignment.
(1) On the day of my first camping trip, I piled into the car with my mother and my sister, slamming the door shut in my eagerness to go. (2) Mom turned the key in the ignition and smiled broadly at us as we bounced excitedly in our seats. (3) Still smiling, she told us we had to buckle our seat belts before she could start driving.
(4) Time seemed to drag as we traveled the winding route to the remote camping grounds. (5) When we finally pulled into our camping space, I leaped from the car and raced to unpack our gear. (6) We all huffed and puffed as we struggled to set up camp. (7) when the work was done, we heaved three great sighs of relief and sank down onto a nearby log to plan the rest of our adventure.
