Directions:

First read the basic version of the story below. Next, read the advanced

Basic Version


Hmm, I am thinking about how to get to the mall from my house. I will write a

list of directions on a piece of paper to help me. I will be able to follow the directions
when I drive to the mall.

First, I need to turn left out of my driveway. Then, I need to drive straight until I

arrive at a stop sign.

Second, I need to turn right at the stop sign onto East Becker St. I need to stay on

East Becker St. for three miles. When I see John’s restaurant, I need to turn left onto
Highway 54.

Third, I need to stay on Highway 54 for eight miles. Then, I need to get off of the

highway at Exit 92. The mall will be on the right.

Okay, I hope these directions will help me find the mall!
