Each invitation is an additional 5–10-minute practice using only the supplied fiction; no family work, purchase, public sharing, device or live data is required. If a learner prefers to stop after the core lesson, they have met the same target. These are varied contexts, not new factual claims.

Day Optional extra or home invitation Useful next-day share
11 Pretend the Borrow Bench notice is for a school zine. Test whether its headline could mislead a first-time reader who wants to ask a question rather than bring an object. One revised headline and the E phrase that warrants it.
12 Sketch, label or describe the blue tin, blank label and empty chair in order; add a sentence explaining which detail carries Leena's perspective. Distinguish a described object from an inferred feeling.
13 Imagine a museum display label for these invented texts. Write “fictional public notice,” “fictional scene,” and “fictional planning note” before comparing them. An honest provenance label.
14 Adapt the revised invitation for a one-sentence noticeboard line, keeping the twelve-slot limit and no repair guarantee. Explain one detail compressed and one detail retained.
15 After submitting the check, use an entirely separate invented makerspace context to write one accurate question a newcomer could ask. Avoid reusing the check's new-case answer as rehearsal.
16 Imagine a youth magazine editor asking about the radio call. Write two different questions: one about selection, one about editing permission. Show which H sentence makes each question useful.
17 Recast I's folded-headline moment as a single stage direction without new facts; explain what interpretive space your wording leaves. Compare possible effects of two directions.
18 Make an audio-only version of your caption as text with a spoken opening and a statement of the selection limit. Do not record a real person's voice. Explain how the transcript serves a listener.
19 Use an invented sports-club newsletter or library bulletin as a new audience for the same H/I analysis. Change register while keeping one exact source limit. One changed sentence and unchanged evidence.
20 After submitting, invent an unrelated pop-up gallery headline and add a truthful condition without using the check case. Explain why the condition changes reader expectations.
