Reading Practice: Finding a Way Through the Museum

Reading Text

A class visited the town museum on a rainy afternoon. Their teacher gave each pair a paper map and a list of objects to find. Lina and Max began in the room about local history. They had one hour before the museum closed, so they agreed to take turns reading the clues.

The first clue led them to an old wooden clock beside a large window. The next one asked them to find a blue fishing boat model. They followed signs through two rooms and stopped to read a short note about the boat. It had once carried baskets of fruit across the lake.

Lina and Max found every object on the list. They returned the map to the teacher and chose a favorite object to describe to their classmates. Max talked about the clock because its hands still moved. Lina chose the model boat and drew it in her notebook. They left the museum with a better idea of how people had worked and traveled in the past.
