Tuesday: Two texts, one topic

Lizzy the Lizard looks up from her notebook.

"I wrote notes about the Fern Hollow Garden," she says.

Freddy points to a sign. "The Trail Team wrote about the garden too!"

"Two texts, one topic," says Ferris. "Let us find the big points in each."

Two texts can be about the same topic.

Each text has important points.

Some points are in both texts. Some are in only one.

Ferris asks: Where is the garden? He looks in both texts. By the pond!
