Narrative:
On last touch-and-go with student pilot, asked for the option and cleared for it. On base, tower asked us to make a 180 degree turn to the north for a beech jet on 4 mi final. We were at about a 2 mi final. We accepted and started a turn to the north. About 1/2 way through the turn, the controller came on the radio and amended our instructions to turn 270 degrees back to final. We continued turn back around, rolled out on a close base to final and was trying to pick out the jet. When we did, he was still outside of us, so I turned back to downwind. Made a normal landing from there. Contributing factor was 5 mi visibility in haze with 1000 ft ceilings, and a busy controller getting IFR traffic out.
