Goal: separate a first-person narrator's observation from inference and consider another viewpoint. Proposed codes: AC9E5LE02, AC9E5LE03, AC9E5LY05. Prepare: Texts C/D, viewpoint mat, Card 16.

Word/start · 3 min. Compare tell/retell and view/review; use a plain explanation before terminology.
First reading · 4 min. Read or listen to Text C. Learner records one sentence the narrator directly observed and one meaning they inferred.
Model · 5 min. Place “Sol held a loose cover” under saw/heard and “Sol wanted me to hurry” under assumed. Read Text D only after this first record.
Choose/respond · 7 min. Card 16 offers book, bus-stop paper model or sports-equipment queue. Learner explains how Text D alters their view, using a specific line; they may hold a different justified opinion.
Dialogue · 4 min. Partner paraphrases the other's opinion, then asks which text line led there. Record any change of mind without requiring agreement.
Exit · 2 min. Ask whether a glance proves Sol's private feeling. Key: no. If the learner treats inference as a reported fact, revisit the two columns tomorrow.
