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: Compare how two form/language choices influence the same public issue, with an explicit limit.

  1. Notice · 3 min. Return Texts A and B with no annotations shown. Give the prompt in student assessment, Check 1.
  2. Model · 5 min. Model only a structure with an unrelated example: claim, exact words, effect, connection. Do not supply the board-room answer.
  3. Try · 6 min. Learners write or record a 90–130 word comparison; offer the text and a word bank, but log support used.
  4. Compare · 5 min. Learners underline one exact phrase from each text and circle the connective joining them. Ask whether the evidence supports each claim.
  5. Transfer · 4 min. Add one sentence naming what the letters cannot establish about likely attendance or access.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Save the first version. Use the formative rubric in the teacher key to choose a next move; no QCAA standard is awarded.
