Usage Notes
Gel pens in three contrasting colors work well here because students can color-code their answers to match the a, an, and the labels in the reference box. A yellow highlighter is handy for circling articles in Exercise 2 without obscuring the printed text. Avoid thick markers over the small clipart images since bleed-through can muddy the visual cues students rely on.
Printing Tips
Card stock at 65 lb keeps the page flat through multiple erasing sessions, which matters when students are drafting original sentences in Exercise 3. Print at 100 percent scale so the rule box text and small clipart stay crisp and legible.
