Follow the chapter/unit sequence here; the student-facing lesson names do not depend on a calendar week. Keep drafts, reading notes and corrections in a portfolio.
This week’s goals
- Read, apply and revisit — Media, Charts & Missing Information
- Read, apply and revisit — Discussion, Listening & Evidence
- Read, apply and revisit — Presentation, Visual Support & Response
Read The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Chapters 23–24. Keep a literal summary, a short quotation, a choice or idea and one question for each assigned chapter. Read the assigned complete short selections. For books, follow the chapter groups above, keep early interpretations tentative and return to whole-book conclusions after finishing. For an exam week, the unseen paper supplies its own sources.
Five sessions of 45–60 minutes. English courses add 20–30 minutes of sustained book reading on most days. Exam papers retain their full stated time; combine blocks where specified, then use the remaining time for marking and correction.
Session 1 · Read, apply and revisit — Media, Charts & Missing Information
Teach this unit across two core sessions: Parts 1–2 with the first worked case, then Parts 3–4 with the changed case and independent application. Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.
Your task
Consolidation 2 for Research, Media, Discussion & Presentation: Explain the visual effect and propose an informative revision. Record the source or sentence, explain the reasoning, then compare with an earlier portfolio response on Media, Charts & Missing Information and name a specific improvement.
- Retrieve the relevant definition and restate the question.
- Read the supplied selection or case; mark the exact evidence or structure.
- Complete the task independently before opening the response guidance.
- Explain the relationship, compare the model and record a specific revision or unresolved question.
Hint and response guidance
Begin with the actual source detail or sentence; keep the claim within what it establishes.
The truncated axis enlarges the visual difference. That does not make the stated values false, but the display should make the baseline and counts conspicuous. A zero-based comparison or a clear break can help the audience assess magnitude.
- Answer the specific question accurately.
- Use a relevant detail and explain why it matters.
- Apply the unit’s defined terms or method correctly.
- Recognize a meaningful limitation or alternative.
Session 2 · Read, apply and revisit — Discussion, Listening & Evidence
Teach this unit across two core sessions: Parts 1–2 with the first worked case, then Parts 3–4 with the changed case and independent application. Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.
Your task
Consolidation 3 for Research, Media, Discussion & Presentation: Identify the precise error and write a corrected explanation. Record the source or sentence, explain the reasoning, then compare with an earlier portfolio response on Discussion, Listening & Evidence and name a specific improvement.
- Retrieve the relevant definition and restate the question.
- Read the supplied selection or case; mark the exact evidence or structure.
- Complete the task independently before opening the response guidance.
- Explain the relationship, compare the model and record a specific revision or unresolved question.
Hint and response guidance
Begin with the actual source detail or sentence; keep the claim within what it establishes.
Paraphrase the actual access concern before disagreeing. Ask how the rule could account for bus timing while meeting practical needs. A claim about a rule is not a claim about all rules or the speaker’s character.
- Answer the specific question accurately.
- Use a relevant detail and explain why it matters.
- Apply the unit’s defined terms or method correctly.
- Recognize a meaningful limitation or alternative.
Session 3 · Read, apply and revisit — Presentation, Visual Support & Response
Teach this unit across two core sessions: Parts 1–2 with the first worked case, then Parts 3–4 with the changed case and independent application. Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.
Your task
Consolidation 4 for Research, Media, Discussion & Presentation: Compare the reasoning in the two cases. What method transfers, and which source detail must be checked again? Record the source or sentence, explain the reasoning, then compare with an earlier portfolio response on Presentation, Visual Support & Response and name a specific improvement.
- Retrieve the relevant definition and restate the question.
- Read the supplied selection or case; mark the exact evidence or structure.
- Complete the task independently before opening the response guidance.
- Explain the relationship, compare the model and record a specific revision or unresolved question.
Hint and response guidance
Begin with the actual source detail or sentence; keep the claim within what it establishes.
In the first case, Label the two observed use counts and dates as fictional trial evidence. Explain that use was recorded but reading improvement was not measured. In the changed case, Say that the survey covers responding club members and does not establish every family’s position. Label both 18 and 20 with the group, describe the chart aloud and suggest a wider inquiry if family preference matters. The method of defining the relationship and testing relevant evidence transfers; the particular source detail and scope must be checked anew.
- Answer the specific question accurately.
- Use a relevant detail and explain why it matters.
- Apply the unit’s defined terms or method correctly.
- Recognize a meaningful limitation or alternative.
Session 4 · Read, apply and revisit — Research Questions, Notes & Source Credit
Teach this unit across two core sessions: Parts 1–2 with the first worked case, then Parts 3–4 with the changed case and independent application. Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.
Your task
Consolidation 5 for Research, Media, Discussion & Presentation: Explain how two relevant details support the model’s conclusion. Name the actual words or actions rather than writing “the text says.” Record the source or sentence, explain the reasoning, then compare with an earlier portfolio response on Research Questions, Notes & Source Credit and name a specific improvement.
- Retrieve the relevant definition and restate the question.
- Read the supplied selection or case; mark the exact evidence or structure.
- Complete the task independently before opening the response guidance.
- Explain the relationship, compare the model and record a specific revision or unresolved question.
Hint and response guidance
Begin with the actual source detail or sentence; keep the claim within what it establishes.
Describe it as a hypothetical model and preserve its role in explaining pathways. Actual school measurements require a dated local method and record.
- Answer the specific question accurately.
- Use a relevant detail and explain why it matters.
- Apply the unit’s defined terms or method correctly.
- Recognize a meaningful limitation or alternative.
Session 5 · Read, apply and revisit — Media, Charts & Missing Information
Teach this unit across two core sessions: Parts 1–2 with the first worked case, then Parts 3–4 with the changed case and independent application. Allow 45–60 minutes per session, followed by separate reading/writing or source-study sessions in the parent plan. Pause at each question; do not assign this entire page as one short lecture.
Your task
Consolidation 6 for Research, Media, Discussion & Presentation: Write a fair alternative or a meaningful limitation to this conclusion, then explain which evidence would test it. Record the source or sentence, explain the reasoning, then compare with an earlier portfolio response on Media, Charts & Missing Information and name a specific improvement.
- Retrieve the relevant definition and restate the question.
- Read the supplied selection or case; mark the exact evidence or structure.
- Complete the task independently before opening the response guidance.
- Explain the relationship, compare the model and record a specific revision or unresolved question.
Hint and response guidance
Begin with the actual source detail or sentence; keep the claim within what it establishes.
“Most responding book-club members favor a reading corner.” State 18/20, the group and the missing wider-school evidence. Keep the conclusion limited to the given scene or source. A competing interpretation must explain rather than ignore the detail that supports the first reading.
- Answer the specific question accurately.
- Use a relevant detail and explain why it matters.
- Apply the unit’s defined terms or method correctly.
- Recognize a meaningful limitation or alternative.
Submit this week
- Source or chapter notes for this week’s assigned reading.
- The independent response or draft named in the sessions.
- A marked checkpoint and a specific before-and-after revision.
Parent / teacher weekly conference
Ask the learner to summarize the source before discussing an inference. Check two details against the local text. Use the criteria to discuss reasoning, then choose the next step from the response rather than from completion alone.
- Can the learner explain the key term with a fresh example?
- Are source details accurate, located and relevant?
- What changed after feedback, and why?
- Which step needs another short lesson before moving on?
