Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Success: organise a short newsletter response for the stated audience without pretending to know missing terms.

  1. Audience · 2 min. Read Text C's editor request; ask what a prospective crew reader needs first.
  2. Structure model · 4 min. Teacher models a plan, not a model essay: context → calculation/detail → perspectives → unknown → useful question.
  3. Guided opening · 5 min. Class compares two openings: “Lantern Yard is unfair” versus “Its two example shifts both state $120, but a prospective crew member needs role details.” Identify which is supportable.
  4. Independent draft · 7 min. Learners begin a 130–180-word final response with an 80–100-word core draft (or equivalent agreed mode), citing A and B, the $120 basis and one unanswered question. They can finish and revise in Day 9 or scheduled extended writing time.
  5. Peer response · 4 min. Reader underlines a source-backed statement, brackets the limit and writes one question they still have. Writer decides on a change.
  6. Exit · 3 min. Learner names one revision and why it helps the prospective crew audience. Key: place a bounded calculation before a broader judgement.
