Ana is writing a report about potholes. Each numbered paragraph is one of her note cards.

Ana's Note Cards: Potholes

1A pothole is a hole in a road that forms when the top layer of the road breaks apart.

2Water from rain or melting snow seeps into small cracks in the road.

3When the water freezes, it turns to ice, takes up more space and pushes the cracks wider.

4Heavy cars and trucks press down on the weak spot and break off chunks of the road.

5Potholes often show up in late winter and early spring, after many days of freezing and melting.

6To fix a pothole, a road crew first cleans loose pieces and water out of the hole.

7Next, workers fill the hole with asphalt, a black mix of small stones and a sticky, tar-like material.

8Then a heavy roller or a tamping tool presses the patch until it is flat and firm.

9While they work, the crew puts up orange cones and signs to keep drivers away from the hole.

10In many towns, people can call or send a message to report a pothole, so a crew can come and fix it.
