Codes: AC9E10LA05, AC9E10LA08, AC9E10LY06. Goal: craft precise conditional and contrast sentences. Prepare: D/E and cost board.

  1. Hear · 2 min. Compare “B is cheaper” with “At ten months, B has the lower modelled total.” Ask which is safer for an unfamiliar reader.
  2. Model · 5 min. Write “Although B has a higher setup cost, its ten-month modelled total is $60 lower.” Identify the concession, main claim and exact horizon; check $1,040−$980=$60.
  3. Guided repair · 6 min. Repair “Since A starts cheaper, it always costs less.” Use equality at month 8 and a conditional clause naming duration.
  4. Independent choice · 7 min. Students write two linked sentences for a fictional arts studio, home device or community organisation reader using the same plan data: one condition and one fair counterpoint. The audience can change; figures cannot.
  5. Test aloud · 3 min. Partner reads the sentence without context. Author adds a unit or horizon if missing.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Everyone submits one sentence whose truth depends on a named condition.

Access: clause strips, dictation, keyboard or AAC; judge meaning before handwriting or pronunciation.
