Read the flyer one part at a time. Part 1: "What days? What time? What can you do?" Part 2: do admission on the board: one adult and one child is $12.00 + $8.00 = $20.00. Part 3 is full of the class grammar: point at each joining word (but, so) and ask what job it does. Election Day: ask "When do we vote?" and practise the writing test sentence "We vote in November." ★★★ Your plan has no key: any plan joined with and, but, so or or is right.
