Original scene: two pupils prepare a display for an activity day and notice a missing label.
The class prepared a noticeboard for an activity day.
While Mina fixed the pictures in place, Josh checked the labels.
One label was missing, so they wrote a new one before the teacher arrived.
While links simultaneous actions; so links a reason and response; before shows order. Choose connectives to match the meaning of the story.
