For students
Your class page says “missing,” but you think you turned the assignment in.
Build a message in three parts. Practice reading it before you send it.
Name it: “I’m asking about the water cycle worksheet.”
Say what you see: “The class page says it’s missing. I put it in the blue tray Monday.”
Ask: “Could you help me check whether it got there?”
For the counselor
2 min • Start. Say “A short message can help the teacher figure out what to look for.”
6 min • Practice. Read the model in order. Partners read it as student and teacher. Reply “I’ll check the tray today.” Then use a new case: the history paragraph was uploaded Tuesday but shows missing. Change the details and keep the request.
2 min • Check. Sample: “My history paragraph shows missing. I uploaded it Tuesday. Could you help me check?” Listen for a specific assignment and question.
Fictional examples are fine. Students can point, speak, or pass.
