Teaching Table
Set out your lesson
Compare accounts by shared facts, emphasis and possible purpose.
Follow this model in an accessible mode before attempting independent work. Graph ordering is not learner mastery; revisit prerequisites if the guided task still needs full modeling.
Check readiness rather than assuming source graph order establishes attainment.
Use the original fictional mini-reports, not invented real journalism. Read both in each stage. Open Show (S), then Guided (G), then Try (T). Hide earlier work and keys before Try. Use only the supplied stage material; do not invent additional cards. Pause or split the session if needed.
Materials are ready in each step. Use them on screen or print just the current step. Put teaching examples aside before the learner tries.
