Copy me and each other: Watch closely and mirror signs as we go.
Use visual eye contact: Stay engaged with your peers—this builds trust and fluency.
Support each other: Encourage classmates and offer gentle corrections if needed.

Step 3: Homework – GoReact Submission

Once you feel confident with the story:

Go to GoReact and record your version of “Timber.”
