The Instructions

Book Club is going very well! Students have read chapters 1-8 in The City of Ember and we have had 3 book discussions. Students are getting better with discussions, I am saying less and students are beginning to discuss the book without my help! 
What is happening to Ember? Today we tried to figure that out by attempting to decode the Instructions. As to why they are a mess in the first place, well we can blame the seventh Mayor and Poppy for that! 

Students successfully decoded the Instructions through instruction number 3! What about you? Think you can decode the Instructions? Give it a try!
