Goal/materials: compare attributed fictional perspectives without treating one speaker as a group; Cards A–C.

  1. Notice, 3: Name whose view Card A asserts. Key: account author's claimed view, not a view of all adults or residents.
  2. Model, 5: “Ari says might use and asks for opening times; Lee values a calm path and asks for a site plan. They could both ask useful questions. Neither speaks for all young or adult people.”
  3. Guide, 7: Pair exact phrases with speaker and degree of certainty (always versus might/would). Discuss missing voices as missing information, not invent testimonies.
  4. Try, 7: Learner makes a 2-column evidence table: what each fictional voice actually states and what cannot be inferred. Example limit: Ari's preference does not prove all teenagers need a reading corner.
  5. Check, 3: “Can Card C alone settle the proposal?” Key: no, it supplies individual preferences/questions. Next: request usage and design evidence without polling classmates as representatives.
