Codes: AC9E10LA09, AC9E10LA01, AC9E10LY03. Goal: use punctuation and inclusive wording to clarify a claim's conditions. Prepare: Texts B/E and claim-check aid.
- Prompt · 2 min. “What would a reader need to ask before spending?” Keep the exercise fictional and non-advisory.
- Model · 5 min. Write “Check two conditions: the full terms and the device's accessibility.” The colon introduces a list. Then “Plan B is lower at ten months (in this simplified model).” Brackets mark a qualification without hiding it.
- Source critique · 6 min. Revisit B's “Anyone who questions...” and E's condition checks. Students explain why an invitation to ask is more useful than labelling a doubter.
- Edit choices · 7 min. Choose a cart or hire claim. Write a short headline plus one sentence with a colon or brackets and an explicit limit. Make the limit readable, not tiny or buried.
- Peer test · 3 min. Partner identifies exactly what the punctuation introduces and whose question the new wording permits. Fix any colon that introduces no explanation.
- Exit · 2 min. Everyone states the punctuation's job and reads the resulting claim's scope.
Access: punctuation cards, plain-text version of the claim, spoken draft; do not rely on colour or type size alone.
