Target: compare investing in a business with owning/running one and write a bounded stakeholder paragraph. Prepare: F, current-source slot, stakeholder lens.
- Launch · 2 min. Ask whether buying shares entails operating the business day to day. Usually it does not by itself.
- Model · 4 min. Contrast Kai's deposit/shares inquiry with Sam's owner-operator plan. Describe possible differences in control, obligation, risk and access to money; no option is recommended. An investor may read audited financial information, but an audit opinion is not a success guarantee.
- Guided reading · 5 min. Open an educator-selected report through the source slot if available. Locate a statement title and one account label, recording publisher/date/units. If unavailable, use E and explicitly mark it fictional; do not invent report figures.
- Practice route · 7 min. Select Day 9 route. Write a paragraph to Kai or Sam with a comparison, evidence from F/E or the logged report, a caution and one question to investigate.
- Audit · 4 min. Repair “a public company must be listed and its auditor says the shares are safe.” Use source boundaries.
- Exit · 3 min. “What fact would you check before reusing a current report?” Expected: company/source, report year, units, statement/notes and rights.
