# English practice checks — learner copy

These short checks help your teacher plan the next lesson. They are **not** QCAA IA1, IA2 or a certification result. Use [Texts A and B](student-materials.md). Your teacher will give you Text C only at Check 2. You can ask for your usual access support; the teacher will record the support so the evidence is interpreted fairly.

## Check 1, after Day 5

In 90–130 words, or an agreed equivalent response, compare how Text A and Text B address the same issue of public-room access. Include:

1. a precise claim about each text's position;
2. one short, exact phrase from **each** text;
3. an explanation of how one choice of words or publication form may position its audience;
4. one decision-relevant question the letters have not answered.

**Planning box:** A says… / B partly agrees or challenges by… / The wording ___ may make the reader… / The board still needs to know… . You do not have to use this box.

## Check 2, after Day 10

Read [Text C](fresh-text-c.md), given by your teacher today. In 100–140 words, or an agreed equivalent response, explain both the persuasive move and the evidence limit in the “80%” headline. Then connect Text C to Text A **or** B. Your connection should use one exact phrase from each of the two texts you choose.

**Planning box:** C asks its audience to… / The ten people were… / The headline may make readers think… / Text ___ instead… . You do not have to use this box.

## Self-check before handing in

- I named the audience or decision maker rather than writing “people” everywhere.
- Each quoted phrase is in the text and earns its place in my explanation.
- I distinguished an observed count, a suggestion, and an inference.
- I did not supply a made-up real-world fact as if it had been checked.
