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.

Goal: independently interpret a new narrator, explain one figurative effect and create a source-faithful alternate viewpoint. Proposed codes: AC9E5LE02, AC9E5LE03, AC9E5LE04, AC9E5LE05, AC9E5LY05, AC9E5LY06. Prepare: private Day 20 story and separate key; Card 20 after.

  1. Welcome · 2 min. Explain that a different invented story checks the reading/writing moves, not a learner's feelings or lived experience.
  2. Fresh read · 5 min. Learner reads or hears story once and may reread; record reading access, no answer-leading gesture.
  3. Plan · 4 min. On blank viewpoint mat, child notes one observation, narrator assumption, later clarification and a figurative phrase.
  4. Independent response · 8 min. Explain how the narrator's view shaped first interpretation; explain one phrase's effect; create 4–6 sentences or equivalent panels from the other character's plausible source-bound perspective. Save first version.
  5. Source check · 4 min. Learner marks exact lines supporting claims and revises if they choose; keep initial and revised evidence separately.
  6. Close · 2 min. Use teacher key to select next component-specific lesson. Offer Card 20 practice after the check, with a different story.
