Answer explanation

I have to know that you are taking my books home so that I can track them. I used to have 3 Avatar The Last Airbender graphic novels, but they're all gone now because someone took them without telling me.

What should you NOT do if you don't understand something?

• Ask someone at your table if they understand

• Try reading over the question a second time

• Try checking your notes or the slides for the day

• Copy/paste the assignment into the internet to see if someone has answered the question before

Answer explanation

Do not copy/paste questions into the Internet! You may think you are just looking for help, but this defeats the purpose of the assignment and will not help you in the long run.
