These two short tasks are fresh relative to the teaching cards, available to anyone with the pack URL, and not secure exams. Your teacher may provide more time and choose a written, spoken-with-note, or labelled visual response. In every route, cite the wording or structure that supports your explanation. The teacher-targeted key is also public.

New fictional text: Observatory model desk briefing
For today's paper-orbit display
Welcome visitors and show the labelled paper model on Table 3. Invite them to move the paper pointer to the next marked position. Explain that the model is simplified. If a visitor asks whether it predicts tonight's real sky, say the desk cannot verify that and direct them to the observatory's published viewing guide. At 4:00 pm, return the pointer to the start mark.
- Who is the briefing for? Name two actions that person can take, citing words from the text.
- Which question falls outside the desk role? Explain how the text sets a boundary without dismissing the visitor.
- Write a two-sentence welcome for a visitor. Keep the pointer action and the simplified-model limit accurate. Add one sentence explaining a language or structural choice you made for that audience.
Routes: write answers 1–3; speak them while a teacher or peer records your evidence words and explanation; arrange labelled “audience / action / boundary / welcome” strips and dictate captions. No route changes the target.
Check B · Day 10 fresh transfer
New fictional pair: Community sound walk
Draft public announcement: “The sound walk is different now. Come along and find out. All the listening gear is ready.”
Confirmed organiser note, dated Friday: “The sound walk starts at the west garden gate at 2:15 pm on Sunday. Twelve demonstration receivers are available for the first session only. Visitors may also follow the printed route without a receiver. The second session's equipment has not been confirmed.”
- Identify two claims in the draft that a visitor could misunderstand. Use evidence from the organiser note to explain why.
- Write a 3–4 line public announcement for Sunday's first session. Include where and when to meet, the receiver limit, and the printed-route option. Do not promise equipment for the second session.
- Explain one text-structure choice and one language choice in your announcement, linking each to the audience's need. Name which source you relied on.
Routes: write answers 1–3; speak them with a captured source/evidence note; build a labelled announcement layout and dictate the two explanations. The teacher collects the first attempt before sharing feedback.
