We then noted how Bruno ,a child, can not understand the implications of Nazi cruelty and I demonstrated how to use a transition phrase such as "by contrast" to join the supporting textual examples for each character .Atticus then completed drafting a second paragraph and began work on a third supporting paragraph .

Atticus finished his figure drawing using the wooden models and then learned how to properly hang his art when it's on paper. We then went out and worked on painting a section of his character in the mural.
