Robot Build Excerpt:
After dinner, Billy examined the instruction book one more time. He and Emily were going to build their robot today and he wanted to be prepared. As Billy read the instructions his little sister bounded down the hall. “Are you ready?” she asked sliding to a stop right next to her brother’s chair.
“I think I’d better read the manual one more time.” Billy said. He wanted to make the perfect robot.
Emily sighed. She knew her big brother had already read the manual twice. Emily also knew the look on Billy’s face. He needed to read it one more time. So even though Emily was eager to get started, she decided she would let her brother finish reading the instructions before suggesting that they begin the build. Instead she decided to try something else. “While you’re reading, I’ll organize the parts.” Emily suggested.
“Good idea!” Billy said as he turned to the last page of instructions.
