[4] The new garden will be not only a place to grow food but also teaching students about nature. [5] A student who joins the council gains confidence, learns teamwork, and makes lasting friends. [6] We are asking for your time, for your ideas, and your votes. [7] Join us, speak up, and shape the school you want.

Report by Esme for the class newsletter.
[1] During our visit, the guide showed us how the printing press worked, where the old maps were kept, and the oldest book in the collection.

[4] The museum is open to students on weekdays, to families on weekends, and for tours by appointment.

Lab Sheet Directions
Directions and notes written by Pia for the science lab.
[1] First, measure 50 milliliters of water, to pour it into the beaker, and stir gently. [2] Next, either heat the beaker for two minutes or leaving it to cool. [3] Record the temperature before heating, while heating, and after the water cools. [4] The experiment tests both whether heat changes the speed of dissolving and how long the water stays warm. [5] Our results were more consistent than last week. [6] Students who finish early may clean the table, put away the beaker, or start the write-up. [7] Wash your hands, wear your goggles, and tell a teacher about any spill.

Kira asks which statement about [7], “Join us, speak up, and shape the school you want,” is correct.
- It is parallel because the words are short
- It needs a fix, because each command should begin with “to”
- It should be cut to a pair of commands, because fewer commands are stronger
- It is parallel, and three short commands in a row build energy for the ending
