Learner prompts

Codes: AC9E6LY02, AC9E6LY06, AC9E6LA03. Goal: state a conditional recommendation for a defined audience and choose relevant evidence. Prepare: B/C/D and original argument planner or text version.

  1. Invite · 2 min. Ask what a room manager needs to decide: another small trial, not whether repair is “good for everyone.”
  2. Model · 5 min. Draft one bounded claim: “If volunteers, space and a quieter explanation option are available, the club could trial one more session.” Attach B's 11/18 working at closing, not “18 permanently saved.” Note D is a proposal from the same organiser.
  3. Guided · 6 min. Select two details: a tally result and one selected comment or explicit unknown. Put each under its source ID, then ask which evidence a real manager would still need (capacity, cost or later condition).
  4. Choice · 6 min. Choose D16-A/B/C to plan a claim, audience, two details and a limit; learners choose writing, spoken outline, cards or AAC without changing the reasoning demand.
  5. Exit · 4 min. Ask for one sentence starting If ... that stays within the packet. Accept a proposal with a condition and no invented funding/approval.
  6. Note · 2 min. Record whether the child supplied a decision, source-linked evidence and an honest unknown; reteach the missing part with a different mini-case.

Home/extension: Use paper planner; no real grant, purchase or school policy is requested. Extension: name a reasonable counterargument without speaking for every visitor.
