The Mayor says
Before you write your own, let us sharpen your eye. A guide who can spot the stop that only lists, and never analyzes, can build a tour that leaves a reader actually understanding.
Three ways to sharpen your eye before you write your own. No grades here, just practice.

Here is the Mayor's tour for how a school start time gets decided, with one line missing. Which note belongs in the blank?
- Where we are going A start time is a balance among sleep, buses, and after-school life.
- Stop: the buses The buses are shared across schools on the same routes.
- What to notice at the bus stop
- Leave them knowing Now you can see the start time as a compromise, not a preference.
