Mr. Harrington is leading his ASL 3 class in a group discussion on a policy being discussed by the school board that could potentially affect their school. He explains that if the bond they propose gets passed, it could mean that students will have to attend another school. He draws some lines on a project map of their city on the board to illustrate the implications of this decision. Jessica lives in one of the neighborhoods that would be affected by this change, and she isn’t sure which school she would be going to if this bond is passed. Mr. Harrington is moving on with his explanation and Jessica really wants to ask for clarification. How should she indicate that she would like a turn in this open discussion format?
