Target: analyse silence, folding and dialogue in Text I as literary choices, while distinguishing Kai's fictional preference from a real consent process. Prepare: I and voice map.
- Launch · 2 min. Ask why a stage direction might carry meaning even when no character speaks.
- Model · 4 min. Read I with neutral voices. Point to Jules folding the headline; interpret it as a possible shift from slogan to conversation, not proof of Jules's permanent change.
- Guided reading · 5 min. Locate Kai's “fact about the case” and “not permission” lines. Compare what H's invitation selects with what Kai wants to retain control over.
- Practice route · 7 min. Learners choose Day 17 route; defend an interpretation of one stage direction and one spoken line with source labels and a limit.
- Peer audit · 4 min. Partner checks that “Kai says…” is not recast as “young people think…” and that the possible effect is a reader inference, not a measured reaction.
- Exit · 3 min. “What does Kai ask before an episode goes out?” Key: who hears it first; H does not yet specify that procedure.
