Nearby, two teachers in unison flutter their eyelids, stuck out their tongues between closed lips, froze in place for less than three seconds, and emitted wisps of smoke from their nostrils.  Sam Sagacious noted the anomalies in their reactions.

DOL 52

“ I am Ms. Stern Science,” the teacher said in a monotone voice.  “I believe in a lot of hard tests, a plethora of homework, and a dearth of student talking in my class, but I also expect students to do well.”

Example of a section summary -

The American colonies inherited ideas about human rights from the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights. Both these documents limited the power of royalty and raise the power of the people. The English law making body, Parliament, was established to limit the power of the king and give more power to the people.

The battle to limit the king resulted in the English Civil War in which the king was executed by Parliament. Later Parliament removed another king who would not listen to them. Most Americans were well aware of this history.
