Learner prompts

Codes: AC9E9LA06, AC9E9LY05. Goal: compare an abstract noun in a report with one in fiction. Prepare: Text B/C/D and agency lens.

  1. Launch · 2 min. Put confidence returned beside “the silence felt heavier”. Ask which text type makes a measurable-looking outcome claim.
  2. Model · 5 min. The report's confidence implies a change Text A never records. The fictional scene's silence is observed within its narrated world, while “heavier” is figurative. Purpose and evidence change what we can claim.
  3. Guided reading · 6 min. Compare the addition (second arrow documented), the improvement (value judgement), the hesitation (supported interpretation). Class labels source detail, inference and overreach.
  4. Practice route · 6 min. D17-A/B/C: evidence ladder, oral comparison or concise edit. Each uses one noun from a report and one from fiction, with a warranted conclusion.
  5. Exit · 4 min. Revise “The improvement restored confidence” to “The crew added a second arrow; the log does not show whether it helped.” Explain why the revision is narrower.
  6. Evidence note · 2 min. If a learner mistakes fictional mood for measured data, ask what narrative perspective provides and what a real survey would need.
