Success: distinguish a per-repair charge from total cost and identify who made a claim. Prepare Text A and two colour marks. (AC9E8LY03, AC9E8LA03)

  1. Notice · 2 min. Read only “Join Plan A and save on every repair!” Ask what a reader might think “save” means.
  2. Reveal · 4 min. Show the flyer and small print. Model the two readings: $7 rather than $10 per extra repair and lower total bill. Point out the $18 start cost.
  3. Check together · 5 min. At zero repairs, A=$18 and B=$0; at two, A=$32 and B=$20. Ask whether the headline clearly explains both meanings.
  4. Independent annotation · 7 min. Learners mark one phrase that sells, one exact model fact, and one omitted condition. Then rewrite the headline to avoid promising a lower total at every count.
  5. Audience swap · 4 min. Pairs ask whether a person planning two repairs would be misled. The teacher samples 2–3 learners' own words, not their partner's.
  6. Exit · 3 min. “Is A's total lower at two repairs?” Key: no, $32 versus $20; a per-repair price is not the whole cost.
