Goal: build a precise expanded noun group and a complete complex sentence without importing a feeling as fact. Proposed codes: AC9E5LA05, AC9E5LA06, AC9E5LY06, AC9E5LY09. Prepare: Text C, movable clause strips, Card 18.
- Word/start · 3 min. Build
write/rewrite; learners spellrewritefrom its known base and check the retained letters. Ask ifrepairfollows the same transparent split (not taught as such). - Model · 5 min. Expand “cover” to “Sol's loose book cover”, tracing each detail to Text C. Reject “Sol's angry cover” as a claim about feeling, not sourced description.
- Clause guide · 4 min. Join dependent “Because the pages could fall” to main “Sol pressed the cover closed.” Move the dependent clause after the main and discuss which message now comes first.
- Choose/respond · 7 min. Card 18 offers paper book, model timetable or sports prop. Learner writes one supported expanded noun group and one complete main-plus-dependent sentence about a chosen source detail.
- Peer edit · 4 min. Peer removes the dependent clause; if the remaining main clause cannot stand, learner repairs it. Check every new detail against source.
- Exit · 2 min. Ask if “Because Sol looked down.” stands alone as the full intended explanation. Key: it is dependent/incomplete here; looking down alone does not establish motive.
