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.

Learner prompts

Codes: AC9E6LY01, AC9E6LA07, AC9E6LY05. Goal: transfer creator/purpose, salience and claim limits to a new fictional Borrow Box source. Prepare: closed Day 15 learner check and separate staff answers. Do not show its poster or numbers before the check.

  1. Invite · 2 min. Say that a new source helps decide what reading move to practise next; it is not a judgement of the reader.
  2. Model · 5 min. Rehearse only Source F's invented desk sign and log: 20 lent, 16 returned by close, four not yet logged. Name why “not yet logged” is narrower than “lost”. Put Source F away.
  3. Guided · 6 min. Source G's indoor label trial records 32 readable/8 unreadable after one day, while its poster says “weatherproof.” Pupils find the mismatch. Do not display the held-out Borrow Box details.
  4. Independent check · 6 min. Give unseen Day 15 Items 1–2. Read the supplied text/layout description neutrally if needed; no hint about the creator, big claim or total.
  5. Check exit · 4 min. Items 3–4 ask for a careful inference and missing evidence. Keep first answers before teaching. Offer a quiet later completion if the access format is not ready.
  6. Note · 2 min. Score source context, feature/meaning, support and next question separately with the staff rubric. D15 choices are later practice.

Home/extension: After the check, the three optional mini-cases provide home practice; never send the held-out check as a coached worksheet.

Week 4 · Build a bounded, useful argument

The writer's job is to help a fictional room manager decide whether to test another small session, not declare a permanent program a success. Keep Source B's count, C's two selected views and D's limits visible. Model a four-part argument: recommendation → exact evidence → limitation/counterpoint → careful next step. Distinguish the same club's repeated number from independent verification.
