  1. My_Dinosaur_Story · 'My_Dinosaur_Story' tells you both the topic and the kind of work in the file.
  2. Draw a poster on a tablet · Drawing a poster creates digital work. Watching a cartoon and charging the tablet do not create a new piece of work.
  3. False · Choosing 'Replace' can put the new story in place of the old file. Use different names if you want to keep both stories.
  4. Take the new photos for the slideshow · Tom's plan starts with taking new photos. Then he can add those photos to slides and type captions about them.
  5. Open the story and change 'bule' to 'blue' · Editing the word inside the story fixes it. Renaming the file or printing it does not change the story's words.
  6. Tap Save and use a clear name in School Work · This app needs Priya to tap Save. A clear name in School Work will help her find and open the saved poster on Wednesday.
  7. Add the saved photos and captions in the slideshow app · The slideshow app can combine Lena's saved photos and captions in slides. A folder of photos has no slides, and a story without photos does not meet both parts of her task.
  8. He may need to check several files to find his card · Ben needs to find his card before editing it. The vague name and forgotten folder may mean checking several files. He does not have to rename every other file or make a new card.
