Play the scene once with the script hidden and Share sound on. "Number 1: where are Teresa and her son? Click it." Play it again. Then Show the script and read it in two voices. Every fact matches the reading's flyer ($12 + $8 = $20, cash or card, the hayride full at four, apples $15, cider $3, Election Day November 3). Point at the class grammar: or is a choice, so is the result, but is different, and each has a comma before it. ★★★ numbers 1 to 3 are those joining words. Now you has no key: any sentence with but is right.
