One page for the student and one for the teacher, with the answer and what a strong response looks like. Print either or both.

A blank poster board and supplies sit on a backstage table with a cardboard castle prop behind them.

Miriam is smoothing air bubbles from the school play poster near the prop table. The drama teacher handed over a checklist left from yesterday's rehearsal. It says print posters, get approval, add ticket dates, then proofread names. That order is off, because approval should come after the dates and names are checked. The first batch would waste paper if Miriam follows the list exactly. She needs one clear sentence to point out the problem without redoing the whole plan.

Write the exact sentence Miriam should say.

Miriam needs to tell the drama teacher that the checklist order is wrong and name the better order.

  • the checklist order is wrong
  • add dates and proofread names before approval
  • print after approval

Think about it: What would go wrong first if the posters were printed before the dates and names were checked?
