Jacob is writing a narrative about cooking dinner for his family. Read the following excerpt from his narrative:
I turned on the heat to warm the olive oil. The oil’s fruity fragrance began to fill the air. It was soon joined by the sharp tang of chopped onions and garlic as I tossed them in the pan. They sizzled softly as I stirred them with a spatula. They browned and softened in the heat. Next I added rich, red chunks of tomatoes. My mouth watered, waiting for the sauce, made from my grandmother’s cherished recipe, to cook.
