Learner prompts

Goal: Compare genre, historical context and argument in two actual dated media sources or the complete original offline pair.

Prepare: Outside learner time choose actual-media route in MATERIALS.md or the complete offline P/Q pair. Check whole text access, exact dates/attribution/rights and accessible reading. Prepare one short dated contrast, not a facts worksheet.

  1. Make a start · 5 min. Invite: “Choose one word your public argument needs: choice, time, information, or your own.” Add an own sentence to available work or begin new work. Then identify which complete text route is available today; missing actual access does not become a fabricated reading record.
  2. Read/encounter · 8 min. For the actual route, access the complete PC2021 article and DCC2024 release with school-approved accessible reading, perhaps across sittings. Locate their dates, named producers and genre. For offline practice read complete Q01–Q06 alongside P01–P06; label both computer-assisted fiction. Read the actual words, not only the source capsule.
  3. Model or independent fresh start · 12 min. Model the actual comparison in ordinary language: PC2021 advocates a package through consumer choice and problem/remedy sequencing; DCC2024 announces staged government procurement and links jobs/environment through optimistic benefit language. These are different scales, not directly opposing votes. Offline model: P proposes a desk; Q offers a choice sheet while retaining a possible desk. Locate the qualification that complicates simple disagreement.
  4. Develop · 15 min. Create a connected comparative paragraph with two exact locators, one genre/context contrast and how it might position a reader. Say “the 2024 release announces” rather than asserting what happened in 2026. Offline writers connect P03 and Q03/Q05. Develop a critical implication, such as what a consumer or forum reader is invited to prioritise.
  5. Review or retain first · 6 min. Read back the actual comparison. Does the paragraph reduce two texts to agree/disagree when their purposes differ? Revise one connection or qualification. A learner may keep a well-supported alternative reading. Feedback needs actual willing-reader words; self-review alone is sufficient for this practice.
  6. Keep/next move · 4 min. Note which exact source passages the learner encountered and which comparison they made. Teacher receipt of a source is not learner reading. Keep the actual dated route and original rehearsal label distinct; finish remaining whole-source reading at another sitting if needed.

Actual evidence: Actual source encounter and comparison only when available; offline comparison gives textual reasoning, not actual historical-media study.

Selected unit-objective opportunities: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9; conditional/partial as crosswalk explains.
