Cindy Goes to SalvadorShe said she didn't want to go. She didn't even know where Salvador was.But she knew it was very far and she wouldn't see her friends every day.How would she get there? How would she take all her books and toys, andclothes? And she could not take her house. Or her dog Biscuit. Wherewould she live? Cindy wanted to hide in Joanna's house, so her parentscouldn't take her away. But wouldn't they find her sometime? How wouldCindy find out more about what it would be like?"It's easy. There are a number of ways to solve problems like this. We canuse designs, sketches, or physical models to figure it out," said Beth.Joanna took the atlas out. It was a book with many maps. Beth helped themfind Salvador: "See Cindy! Here we are-in North America. And Salvador isin Brazil; in South America.""It's not so far," Cindy said, looking at the map."No, it isn't," Mona added. "And look here, São Paulo is in Brazil too! Theyhave a pancake festival there every year in the summer."Cindy was excited now. "I love pancakes!"Draw a SketchLydia took out a sketch pad and some pencils, and gave them to Cindy."Now imagine," she said to her. "You will be living in a new house. Isn't thatwonderful?"Joanna said, "Let's see how we want your new home to be."The girls started drawing. "Well, that's what people do before they build anew house!" said Beth.ReadWorks.org · 2013 ReadWorks , Inc. All rights reserved.

Cindy Goes to SalvadorThey drew many rooms: for Cindy's books, her clothes, and her new dog(who would also be called Biscuit). Cindy looked at the drawing. Shedecided to take it home for her parents. They needn't worry about the newhouse now. She had a plan!Design a Model"But how will I get there? And will I be able to take all my things?"The girls knew she would be going in an airplane. But none of them hadever traveled in one. Does a plane have wings? How does it fly? Will it carryall of Cindy's things too?Now Beth gave them each a colored origami paper. They made their ownairplanes! As they were doing that, Beth explained to them how airplanesworked: where the engine was, where the pilot sat, and where Cindy'sbooks and toys would be kept. They saw the wings-just like a bird's! Theyflew them all around the room. Cindy would be flying too! All the way toSalvador."Now wouldn't that be fun?" Lydia asked.Cindy could imagine São Paulo, the pancakes, the plane, and anotherBiscuit. She was finally excited!Just then, Joanna's mother walked in with the phone. Cindy's father wantedto know when he could pick her up."Now!" she said.ReadWorks.org · 2013 ReadWorks , Inc. All rights reserved.
