Making a backup plan for education or training
Grades 9–12 · Ready-made original
Learning goal
Compare next steps when a course is not available.
Write, draw, or say your answer. You may pass.
The example
In a fictional example, a design course is not running this term. The school adviser can check the next offering or help the student try a school design project now. Dates, costs, and places on future courses are not confirmed.
A worked response
Two possible next steps are asking about a later course or trying the school project. Neither is a confirmed place or a failure. The student needs answers before choosing.
Your task
1. Write what changed: the course is not running this term.
2. Compare the two supplied options using when, cost, and available support. Leave unknowns blank.
3. Draft one question for the adviser about timing and one about the school project.
