I have a macro above. Basically it quite simply is used to define a classroom
activity for students to do. Each classroom activity contains:
- A subsection title.
- A list of recommended materials (like scissors, glue).
- Instructions directed at the student.
- Where student write their answers.
- A list of requirements, how it will be graded.
In testing, I found students are ALWAYS very confused by page breaks:
If the assignment title, supplies, and instructions appear on one page, but the
area they write/body is on the next page, split there by a page break, the
students think the activity is missing. They cannot find the activity.
So basically, I need to make it such that items 1, 2, and 3 must appear with at
least the start of 4, even if its just the first problem in 10, and even if
this means leaving a blank area on the page in front of it.
How can I be so precise making sure the page break doesn't seperate the title
from the start of the area where students write their answers?
Adding page breaks before every activity isn't a good solution, it wastes paper.
