We were doing an activity in class where students were given a scenario like this one and had to write down two responsible actions and an irresponsible action. I peeked over the group to read their response and it was something along the lines of:
I would check inside the bag next time to make sure the dog wasn't there.
Also, the bag would have been heavy and probably moving a lot.
But I would definitely check for the dog before tying the bag.
I quickly realized that they read 'got into it' as the dog literally climbed into the trash bag. I giggled a bit and had them reread the card and explained the phrase, which they really should have already known. My class is all about the speed reading, but the idea of reading carefully hasn't quite caught up yet.
