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: Produce a short public-facing argument that uses both texts as a conversation and marks uncertainty.

  1. Notice · 3 min. Revisit the map. Ask: Where is agreement, where is a live choice, and what information is missing?
  2. Model · 5 min. Demonstrate a paragraph plan: recommendation; A's access case; B's transport condition; a measured next step. Use no invented demand figure.
  3. Try · 6 min. Learners choose a pilot option and draft 120–160 words or an equivalent 75-second script. Offer a sentence frame only to those who want it.
  4. Compare · 5 min. Peer reader marks every claimed number, inferred fact and text reference. If a statistic is not in A/B, label it a proposal for measurement.
  5. Transfer · 4 min. Revise the final sentence to tell the board what to check after the pilot.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Ask each learner which one revision improved accuracy. Use the answer to form a Day 10 conference group.
