As I read, I will pay attention to punctuation.
Just past the admissions window, not far from a display of
11 llamas, Mrs. Battaglia assembled her students. She blew her
20 nose, cleared her throat, and said, “There are ten endangered
30 animals here at the zoo. Achoo!”
36 “Bless you,” someone muttered.
40 “Thank you. In groups of three, you are to visit them and
52 answer all of the questions on your worksheet.”
60 Alice noticed that Mrs. Battaglia’s eyes were red and
69 tearing. She glanced at Wendy, who giggled. For all her talk
80 about their fascinating blood cells, Mrs. Battaglia was clearly
89 too allergic to go anywhere near actual animals.
97 “At the end of today, your group will choose one—achoo!—
108 animal. It will be your assignment to find a way to raise
120 money for that animal at the school fundraiser in two weeks.”
131 Wendy grabbed Alice’s hand. “Let’s go together,” she
139 said. 140
