15 brooke: mr. torres, i have an idea. we just completed a unit about green plants
and photosynthesis, so perhaps our class could volunteer to create the garden for
some hands-on learning.
14 marty: brooke, that's a fantastic idea. i would gladly donate a day for an outdoor
excursion. (with a snicker) it sounds better than algebra!
15 mr. torres: well-(hesitating) i suppose some real-world experience with plants
and sunlight would be very informational-and fun! we'll have to take a vote to
ensure that everyone supports the idea. all those in
16 (the students all raise their hands and begin to cheer.)
17 students: yeah!
the resolution of this passage comes when the students all raise their hands. they do this because
a)
they disagree with brooke's idea.
they have questions for mr. torres.
they want to plant the school garden
d)
they are excited about cleaning up the field.
