Chapter 5 · Research & Source-Based Writing
Assigned readings
Parent teaching schedule: assign the linked chapter and unit lessons alongside sustained reading and writing. Week numbers organize pacing; student lesson names remain Chapter / Unit.
This week’s goals
- Unequal knowledge: establish accurate understanding.
- MLA entries: explain the relationship between evidence and a claim.
- Attribution audit: assess independence and set a next step.
Read the first half of Act II, through the rehearsal discussion; retain scene order in the supplied edition.
Plan five sessions of about 45–55 minutes, plus 20–30 minutes of sustained reading most days. Adjust for comprehension and writing stamina; a unit may span several sessions. The parent may combine exam sessions to provide the full time stated on the paper.
Session 1 · Unequal knowledge
Establish literal understanding before interpretation. Identify the speaker, event, and location; separate observed information from a later explanation. Use the linked unit method and the exact assigned text.
Your task
Compare what Nora and Torvald know about the threat during Act II.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
Nora anticipates exposure while Torvald interprets her behavior without that information. Explain how that difference affects tension and the apparent meaning of an exchange.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.
Session 2 · Accurate paraphrase
Test a claim against a second relevant detail. Explain what each detail establishes, its scope, and any contradiction. In a language task, explain grammatical relationships and preserved meaning.
Your task
Paraphrase a short contextual passage after closing it, then check accuracy and cite the source.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
A sound paraphrase preserves meaning and scope using genuinely new phrasing. A changed word order alone does not remove the need for quotation or citation.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.
Session 3 · MLA entries
Organize the response around the task and audience. Explain the evidence-to-claim relationship; a quotation or rule label alone is insufficient. Compare relevant functions rather than surface resemblance.
Your task
Create draft Works Cited entries and matching in-text references for your actual edition and contextual sources.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
The entry and reference should allow a reader to find the source. Include available author/title and locator information without inventing page numbers for an unpaginated edition.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.
Session 4 · Performance analysis
Apply the method independently, then request specific feedback. Revise meaning, evidence, and organization before editing. Keep original and revised versions so the purpose of a change can be discussed.
Your task
Analyze the rehearsal as a performed action with motives and audience effects.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
Connect movement, instruction, and delay to the dramatic situation. Distinguish Nora’s possible purpose from an explicitly stated direction and justify a competing interpretation.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.
Session 5 · Attribution audit
Check the published criteria and explain your reasoning. Record one specific next step supported by this week’s work. Use model guidance after the independent attempt, and keep unseen assessment answers closed.
Your task
Review a research paragraph for quotation boundaries, source attribution, and your own reasoning.
- Prepare (5 minutes): retrieve the relevant unit method and state the task.
- Read/study (10–15 minutes): locate and annotate the assigned evidence or draft.
- Apply (20–25 minutes): respond independently with precise references or explained language choices.
- Reflect (5 minutes): compare with the criteria, explain a choice, and record a next step.
Hint and response guidance
Use the named text or your own draft; start with a precise reference. Separate summary from interpretation and compare the support for a competing claim.
A useful audit identifies which words and claims belong to each source. Analysis should explain the relation rather than hide borrowed reasoning behind a final citation.
- Respond accurately to the stated task.
- Use precise relevant evidence, references, or an explained revision.
- Explain the reasoning and preserve a meaningful qualification.
Submit this week
