Interview a Classmate Wind, rain, lightning, and thunder are forces of nature. List others. Ask a classmate questions about different forces of nature. For example: “Do you like snow? Does lightning scare you?” Switch roles. Use correct subject pronouns.

Do you like thunder?

Yes, thunder is exciting. It can be dangerous, though.

Study the Models You may want to write about your experience with a storm or another natural force. Be sure to write sentences that are clear, so readers can follow what you write. One way to write clear sentences is to use the correct pronoun.

Revise It Look back at the NOT OK passage. Work with a partner to revise it. Fix the pronouns so they agree with the nouns.

WRITE ON YOUR OWN Write about your own experience in a storm or a natural disaster, or write about a natural disaster you have read about. Use the correct pronouns.

Remember

• • Use he to refer to a male.

• • Use she to refer to a female.

• • Use it to refer to a place or thing.

• • Use they to refer to more than one person, place, or thing.
