    Three Minutes for the Library Board

    You have ninety seconds at the microphone to save the after-school makerspace hour. Cut the vague words and expand your proof.

    Coach Elena Vasquez, sound designer Kwame Diallo, and presenter Riley Chen are in Studio Four preparing for tonight's Library Board hearing. The board is considering cutting the Tuesday makerspace hour unless students show concrete attendance data and a clear plan. Students listen to Riley's rehearsal, inspect the attendance log, expand a kernel sentence with a causal clause, and deliver a polished oral and written brief.

    Communicative Objective

    Students revise vague claims into audience-aware arguments supported by attendance data and expanded clauses.

    Interactive Mechanics & Vocabulary

    Bench Tool: Clause Expander (2 story forks). Words: audience, rehearse, specific, attendance, transition, revise.
