One page for the student and one for the teacher, with the answer and what a strong response looks like. Print either or both.
Emeka checks the seed tray on the windowsill during plant duty. A sticky note sits beside the tray, curled from the damp soil. The note says to move the sprout tray, but not where. One shelf gets more sun, and the back table stays cooler. His teacher wants the pea sprouts protected from the hot glass. Emeka can choose a spot now, or ask for the missing detail.
Rank the four actions from first to last.
- Move the seed tray to the spot named by the teacher.
- Read the note again and name the missing detail.
- Ask the teacher where the tray should go.
- Wipe the windowsill and line up the plant tools.
Think about it: What makes asking for the missing detail safer than choosing a spot right away?
