Success: explain one effect of website notice versus private diary and test a change in wording.
- Read lines · 2 min. Compare A's heading “A shift that fits your week” and B's “I circled same pay first.”
- Model · 4 min. Name medium, audience and purpose: public recruitment webpage versus private reflective diary. Identify the inviting second-person “your” and B's first-person “I”.
- Guided recast · 5 min. Replace the headline with “Two example shifts total $120 under the listed assumptions.” Ask what certainty/appeal changes; the recast is clearer but less inviting.
- Independent editor note · 7 min. Learners write 80–100 words to the fictional editor: identify two specific language choices, their likely effects and a possible limit on each interpretation.
- Evidence check · 4 min. Partner points to the exact phrase behind each claimed effect; revise any psychological certainty such as “all readers will feel”.
- Exit · 3 min. “Which text is addressed directly to prospective crew?” Key: A; B is a private diary-style draft.
