Codes: AC9E10LE04, AC9E10LY05. Goal: analyse an ethical position in Text A with precise evidence. Prepare: Text A and two-column “choice / possible value” notes.

  1. Invite · 2 min. Say: “A headline attracts attention but may say more than the data. What would you protect first?” Give private think time; no personal disclosure needed.
  2. Read · 5 min. Read Text A aloud or allow silent reading. Pause after Leena reads the column headings; ask what Arin's original headline leaves out.
  3. Model · 5 min. Quote “That note won't catch someone's eye first.” Explain that Leena is considering placement as well as truth; the text positions accurate scope as an obligation to readers.
  4. Partner inquiry · 7 min. Choose Arin or Leena. Name one action, the value it may reveal and a quoted phrase. Partner offers a fair alternative interpretation, not a personality label.
  5. Discussion · 4 min. Ask whether the corrected headline loses all impact. Use its actual wording. Distinguish a reader's supported ethical judgement from the author's single fixed answer.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Everyone completes: “The narrative invites us to question ; the phrase ___ supports this because .” Teacher samples focus explanations.

Access: exact text, line markers, adult reading, typed or dictated evidence. Do not score willingness to speak publicly.
