Learner prompts

Target: analyse Text Q's torn-paper image and close-third-person focus while distinguishing fictional Jo from a match witness. Prepare: Q and sequence windows.

  1. Launch · 2 min. Ask what a score sheet can record well and what it may omit; invite source-based guesses only.
  2. Model · 4 min. Read Q. Point to “small moon” as an image of the torn sheet; it is not a real astronomical claim or a hidden statistic.
  3. Guided reading · 5 min. Sequence 3–3, Mina's last shot, 4–3 and Jo's reflection. Identify two actions the page “could not hold.” Name the fictional narrator's limited focus.
  4. Practice route · 7 min. Choose Day 22 route. Explain one image or structural shift, its possible effect and one claim the scene cannot prove about the real match.
  5. Peer audit · 4 min. Partner checks whether the sentence calls Jo an interviewee or treats the net-straightener as a documented player contribution.
  6. Exit · 3 min. “Why leave the hole in the last sentence?” Accept a bounded interpretation about incomplete recording; reject any claim it proves a real error in scoring.
