Record the learner's exact words or artifact, source access, adult/peer support, response mode and any extra composition time. These are formative teaching checks, not QCAA instruments, A–E grades or Year 11 certification. Preserve the seven-minute first response, then allow more time when needed; writing speed is not the perspective-analysis construct. A read-aloud can make perspective analysis possible, but cannot by itself evidence independent reading. Offer a private recording or AAC route; judge argument and source use separately from speech confidence. Check the school's agreed access arrangements.
| Day | Prompt/evidence | Defensible key and next move |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | What is “same pay”? | Only the two stated model shifts each total $120. If learners generalise to everyone, underline the two examples and the notice's missing terms. |
| 2 | Compare A and B | A is a public invitation with listed shift model; B is one private draft weighing whole-day/role uncertainty. If one is called “wrong” with no evidence, ask what it actually claims. |
| 3 | Omission | Break and travel support are unstated, not proved absent. If learner treats missing as negative fact, reformulate as question. |
| 4 | Medium/language | Website heading addresses “your” week; diary uses “I” and a notebook image. Ask how audience and purpose explain selection. |
| 5 | Independent compare | See Check A. |
| 6 | Numerical rhetoric | $120=$120 answers stated amount for two shifts, not overall suitability or take-home pay. Ask which conditions could matter. |
| 7 | Quotation | Quote no more than six words, identify maker and retain context. If a clipped quote changes scope, put full paragraph beside it. |
| 8 | Audience draft | Includes both perspectives, basis of calculation, a limit and useful question. If the text lists facts with no line of reasoning, sequence context → evidence → interpretation → question. |
| 9 | Revision | At least one tracked change narrows an unsupported claim and one helps a prospective reader. If merely swapping adjectives, ask which evidence changed. |
| 10 | Fresh source note | See Check B. |
Day 5 check A
Independent prompt: “Write 80–120 words, or an equivalent response in an agreed mode, to the fictional Lantern Yard newsletter editor. Compare Text A's notice and Mira's diary draft. Identify the maker and audience/purpose of each, use one exact detail from each, explain what the equal $120 figures do and do not establish, and end with one question for the organisers. The source texts stay visible. Do not describe Mira as speaking for all crew.”
Key/acceptable answer path: A is by the imaginary organising team to attract prospective crew, with a $24 base, 1.25 Saturday multiplier and the two examples at $120 before unknown additions/deductions. B is a single fictional person's private draft; it worries about whole-day time and available duties. It does not prove a policy breach. A responsible writer might ask “Which duties are available on Saturday and what access arrangements can be made?” or “What terms apply to breaks?” Learners can argue the notice is helpful or insufficient if they specify why and do not invent facts.
Possible short response, not text to memorise: “Lantern Yard's public notice invites crew and makes two sample shifts look comparable: five weekday hours at $24 and four Saturday hours at $30 both state $120. Mira's private draft focuses on the whole day rather than the listed hours. She wants to know which roles suit her and how long the day may take. Her questions do not show that the organisers have refused access; the notice simply leaves the details open. I would ask the team which duties and breaks apply to each example before treating ‘same pay’ as the same choice.”
Day 10 check B
Use the fresh Text D learner card. Ask for an 80–120-word note to a fictional student project group: explain how “always saves” positions a reader, compare buying enough for six and eighteen bookmarks, identify one unknown, and make a bounded recommendation or question. Do not require a single opinion about future value; require a correct comparison for the specified need.
Key: The supplier's broad headline favours the large bundle. It has the lower unit price ($19.35 ÷ 9 = $2.15 versus $13.20 ÷ 6 = $2.20 per bookmark), but for six needed the small whole bundle's $13.20 outlay beats $19.35 by $6.15. For eighteen needed, three small bundles cost $39.60 and two large cost $38.70, so the large route is $0.90 lower before unknown delivery/storage/future value. The “always” claim exceeds what those conditions support. A clear question is whether delivery differs or whether unused bookmarks can be stored for a known need; Text D says no returns but does not answer storage/delivery. Do not infer that larger is always wasteful either.
Feedback rubric for these tasks
| Construct | Secure evidence | Developing evidence | Next teaching move |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perspective and context | Names maker/audience/purpose; distinguishes one diary speaker from population | Treats any one voice as all views or overlooks genre | Put source labels on separate cards; ask “who can this speaker speak for?” |
| Language and selection | Connects an exact phrase/detail to a plausible reader effect and notes an omission as unknown | Calls a text “biased” without citing a choice, or converts absence to fact | Highlight one chosen phrase and one unstated term; write the smallest claim they warrant |
| Evidence and reasoning | Uses accurate numbers/quotes, source attribution and bounded conclusion | Numbers correct but attached to an overclaim or missing source | Match each claim to a line/calculation; revise always/everyone/proves |
| Communication and revision | Organises for the assigned audience, makes a substantive evidence-led edit | Ideas are present but order obscures the question or edit is cosmetic | Provide a movable sequence strip; have learner state reason for one edit |
Record secure / developing / not yet observed per construct and a next teaching action. If a learner cannot respond in the provided mode, change mode and recheck before inferring a knowledge gap. Give multilingual learners a chance to explain understanding through a locally verified language pathway where available; no translations in this pack have been checked.
