Students should draw a treble staff and accurately place C (below the staff on a ledger line), D (below the first line), E (on the first line), F (in the first space), and G (on the second line).

F E E D. F is in the first space, the first E is on the bottom line, the second E is on the bottom line, and D is below the first line.
