Codes: AC9E10LA03, AC9E10LA04, AC9E10LY04. Goal: compare the organisation of Texts B and C for purpose. Prepare: both texts, claim-check aid and the four learner strips.

  1. Question · 2 min. “Which text asks for action first? Which makes its limit visible?”
  2. Model · 5 min. Map B: headline → selected extremes → certainty → command. Map C: scope → pattern → theoretical comparison → explicit limit. Say the sequence is part of the message.
  3. Guided annotation · 6 min. Students label C's two paragraphs and note how the repeated “model data” phrase keeps readers in scope.
  4. Rebuild · 7 min. In pairs, reorder the four exact invented-route strips from the learner task card into a trustworthy mini-caption: source, pattern, support, limit. Then compare with B's order.
  5. Evaluate · 3 min. Ask whether a limit at the very bottom of an unreadable page would work as well. Discuss reader navigation and prominence without inventing viewing statistics.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Everyone explains one structural choice and its effect on what a reader notices first.

Access: movable paper strips or text headings, screen-reader-friendly labelled paragraphs, partner reading on request.
