Target: analyse how first-person focalisation and an object image in Text F represent agency without turning Leena into a population claim. Prepare: F and voice map.
- Launch · 2 min. Ask what a reader expects after E's “fix something”; do not reveal the scene ending.
- Model · 4 min. Read F aloud once. Revisit “as if that promise had a handle”: the simile connects the notice to a carried object; it does not say Leena believed a guaranteed repair was legally owed.
- Guided reading · 5 min. Locate the blank label and the final two sentences. Ask what changed (a question was written) and what did not (the toy still did not work). Contrast F's private moment with E's public invitation.
- Practice route · 7 min. Learners choose Day 12 route and make a short interpretation with one quotation, one plausible effect on a reader and one limit on what can be inferred about Leena.
- Peer audit · 4 min. Partner marks any “all repair visitors” leap and asks whether the quoted line is narrator language, dialogue or organiser wording.
- Exit · 3 min. “What did the label do in the scene?” Accept a defensible inference tied to the written question; do not accept “the toy was repaired.”
