🖋️ Tracing Instructions:

You are to trace the dotted lines under the words that need capital letters. So trace under:

- on → becomes On
- friday → becomes Friday
- aiden → becomes Aiden
- it → becomes It
- october → becomes October
- it → becomes It
- chicago → becomes Chicago
- aiden → becomes Aiden
- at → becomes At
- toby → becomes Toby
- toby → becomes Toby
- aiden → becomes Aiden

> Note: The word "the" at the beginning of the last sentence ("The cute performer...") also needs to be capitalized, but it's not underlined in the original image. However, based on standard grammar, it should be capitalized as the first word of a sentence.

But looking closely at the image, the dotted lines are only present under certain words — likely the ones intended to be traced.

So, from the image, you should trace the dotted lines under:

- on
- friday
- aiden
- it
- october
- it
- chicago
- aiden
- at
- toby
- toby
- aiden

(And possibly "the" before "cute", but it may not have a line.)
