Success: identify an observation, a claim and a limit in Text A. Prepare: Text A, three labelled slips observed / claimed / still unknown. (AC9E5LA02, AC9E5LY05)
- Hook · 2 min. Read “5, 8, 7” and ask, “What can we say for sure from these numbers?” Accept “three counts” before adding.
- Model · 4 min. Read Text A aloud or provide accessible text. Say: “The source tells me the same person may be counted again. I can total 20 observations, not 20 different children.” Put the two phrases on separate slips.
- Guided sort · 5 min. Read Sam's sentences one at a time. Class sorts “on Tuesday counts were 5, 8, 7” as observation, “everyone wants” as unsupported claim, “some may want shade” as inference. Ask which source detail changes the answer.
- Independent turn · 7 min. Each learner marks one exact sentence from Sam as too strong, revises it to a bounded claim, and names a missing fact. Offer highlight, dictation, AAC or typed response; keep authorship clear.
- Compare · 4 min. Pairs paraphrase each other's revision before agreeing or disagreeing. Teacher asks 2–3 planned learners, “Could the counts include repeats?”
- Exit · 3 min. Prompt: “Were there 20 different users?” Key: cannot tell; there were 20 counted observations. Record exact response and support.
