One page for the student and one for the teacher, with the answer and what a strong response looks like. Print either or both.
Rafael is pressing glue dots onto the tri-fold board when one row curls loose. The results graph still needs a clearer title before the display check. His group also needs someone at the supply table for the last display stand. Both jobs fit into the same few minutes, but not if he does both. He chooses to get the stand because the board keeps sliding backward. From beside the striped mineral samples, he sends his group a quick message.
Rewrite Rafael's message so his group knows the choice, the reason, and the next step.
I’m going to get the thing. Fix the graph if there’s time.
Think about it: What information makes the group able to act without sending another message?
