      I don't believe this IS verse line-numbered material. It's more like a play...consider it prose. And yes, then you would insert three blank spaces at the beginning of a braille line...and number every line (as it is prose). The first bit is the introductory paragraph, then your dialog would be 1-3. The italicized  parts that start with Marta appear to be stage directions to me (blocked in 7).

          I think BF, in this case, is looking at the simple and what you have is very complex. The method you have suggested works well - just be consistent for all the slides and the reader will understand what is going on in the print.

          Slides and presentations are always difficult to present in braille. Good job!

              It sounds to me like the person was just putting a "place holder" page in the braille which will be replaced with the actual tactile page once that tactile is produced...but I may be misunderstanding what you are saying.

              If that is not the case, please clarify for me.

                The second option you've shown is the preferred option. The use of contractions is always preferred for readers.

                          I agree that they are state standard citations.

                          My suggestion for formatting:

                          Read and follow ...: regular 3-1 paragraph

                          Blank line

                          DEVELOPING A CH 1: Cell 5 heading

                          D1: Angle ...: 1-3 listed item

                          Score: 1-3 listed item

                          Blank line

                          LEVEL 2

                            The QBB4901 (1&2) with the update date would be the only potential Printing History.

                            But, in my opinion, there is no printing history on this page.

                              I apologize for the delay in answering - this post did not show up in my feed until today!

                              I so not see this as marginal labels. If you see it as marginal labels, then the first 'column' (Plan) is a marginal label for the 2nd column. I see this as three lists: Plan, Think, Write.  I would make each of those cell 5 headings and then list the items underneath. This is telling the student to make a Plan (overall process), Think it through (shows more detail) and Write (actually do it).  Making the 2nd column marginal labels adds a lot of 'stuff' for the reader to get through to find the math.

                                I'm assuming ALABAMA references the state and not any kind of publisher (since the Publisher is Accelerate Learning).

                                Student Notebook; 5th Grade

                                STEMscopesTM

                                ALABAMA

                                Per BF, the grade level goes on the same line as the title (separated by a semicolon).

                                My reasoning for this order is that STEMscopes seems more like a series name and the state is a state-specific heading.  The book is actually the Student Notebook...so that is the title I would recommend.

                                If this makes you still unsure, ask the requestor what they want as the title. 🙂

                                  I have never seen that symbol before. There is no braille equivalent. I would suggest you use a transcriber-defined symbol indicator (rule 3.26 of UEB).  It gives the appearance of some type of grouping indicator...does the surrounding text explain it at all?
