10. True or False. I believe it is very important to always read the directions before beginning an assignment, quiz, test, or activity. From now on, I will always continue to read the directions before I start an assignment.



Now that you’ve read through the directions, just pretend you are taking the quiz. Again, do not complete the quiz. Just pretend that you are taking the test so others will think that you are working on it. Try not to let the secret get out. Just enjoy watching the others as they complete the questions! Every once in a while, write something down or draw something on the blank page to make it look like you are working on it. Thank you for following the directions:-)
