Headline Story
Aaron gets up at 7 o’clock on weekdays. On the weekends he gets up later.
Possible student responses
- I get up earlier on the weekends than the weekdays.
- I get up at 6 on weekdays.
- Maybe Aaron gets up at 8 on weekends.
- I’m supposed to get up at 6:30, but sometimes I don’t get up until 7 and then we have to hurry to get to school on time.
- Once I slept until 11.
- We know Aaron doesn’t get up at 6 on the weekends, because that’s earlier than 7.
- Aaron’s school must start sometime after 7, because you have to get up before school starts so that you have some time to get ready.
- Maybe Aaron’s school starts at 8:30.
