Flashlight Troubleshooting

Students read a how-to passage with branching outcomes, showing what to do depending on whether certain steps succeed or fail. They then answer comprehension questions about the troubleshooting sequence. This activity teaches learners how procedural writing can include conditional directions rather than a single linear path. They analyze how outcomes guide next steps, reinforcing the importance of clarity, logic, and diagnostic thinking. The worksheet builds real-world problem-solving and strengthens comprehension of branching processes.
