PUTTING WORDS WHERE THEY BELONG

Reading edition

Arrange your paper with your name on the first line and your grade on the second line. Divide the rest of your paper into four parts with lines drawn as shown below:

TRAVELING BANKING GRAZING SEASHORE

Below is a list of words that is not very well arranged. Some words suggest a long railroad journey, some an errand to the bank, some the lonely occupation of a cowboy, and others a vacation at the shore. Write the words, traveling, banking, grazing, seashore at the top of your paper on the fourth line as shown above. Now rearrange the words below into four columns under these four heads, putting all the words that seem to suggest traveling in the first column, and all the words that suggest banking in the second column, and every word that suggests grazing or seashore in its proper column. When you finish wait quietly for the others.
