0 Planting - Comparing Directions

Now that you’ve decided on the best planting location for your seedling, you need to learn how to plant it.

Read direction sheets I and II. You many want to read it by yourself, with a partner, or together with your teacher and class.

As you read, compare the two sets of directions. How are they alike? How are they different?

You may share your ideas with a friend or with your whole class.

Which set of directions will you use to plant your seedling? Look at Directions I and Directions II again. Which directions do you think will be more helpful to you? What makes that set better for you to use?

In the space below, tell which set you will use. Be sure to support your answers by giving at least two reasons why you think those directions are more helpful.
