How is a sentence like the human body? Scholars think about the comparison as they view an image of the human anatomy and begin to complete an Anatomy of a Sentence anchor chart. They review roots, prefixes, and suffixes and then begin reading an excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas. The teacher guides readers through text-dependent questions during the first read, and pupils answer another set of questions independently during a second read.
