Separate source dependence

Supplied materials

• Paper and pencil, or a browser text area. All named people/events/records are fictional learning inputs.
• Worked case: Excerpt A: Supplied key: Lee—Hinge Note, 2026, p. 2. The note should link Lee and Hinge Note to the reference entry. Excerpt B: Revision A says five bends; revision B corrects the text to six bends. The wording changed. Excerpt C: Research log: query paper hinge repeated bending; include dated test records with actual bend counts. Excerpt D: Card A records Jo’s test; Card B independently records Lea’s different test. Neither copied the other.
• Primary check: Excerpt A: Supplied key: Model Club—Test Card, 2026, section 1. The named organization authored this card. Excerpt B: A 2025 edition and a 2026 edition carry different publication dates, with no textual change supplied. Excerpt C: Research log: exclude Promotional Flyer because it has no dated trial result, the inclusion requirement. Excerpt D: Two websites reproduce the identical Trial Card A rather than conducting separate tests.

Learn the idea

Several URLs do not always supply independent evidence. Copies, a shared interview or a report-derived interpretation may repeat one underlying observation.

Trace the explicitly stated origin of each record and count distinct evidence sources, not just web pages.

Original worked input: Original excerpt D: Card A records Jo’s test; Card B independently records Lea’s different test. Neither copied the other. The task is to separate source dependence. The answer is “two independent records”. Evidence: Card A records Jo’s test; Card B independently records Lea’s different test. Neither copied the other. Reasoning: two independent records is supported because different observers separately created the two test records. Independent accounts can still share biases.

1. Read the supplied worked case and identify the part named in this lesson. An adult can model unfamiliar words.
2. Trace the explicitly stated origin of each record and count distinct evidence sources, not just web pages.
3. Check the worked solution: two independent records. Evidence: Card A records Jo’s test; Card B independently records Lea’s different test. Neither copied the other. Reasoning: two independent records is supported because different observers separately created the two test records. Independent accounts can still share biases.
4. Use the new primary and practice cases. Give a reason from the actual words before checking the feedback.

Take it further

Changed-input task: Original excerpt D: Two summaries both quote the same interview with Lea and are not separate testimony. Give an evidence-based answer before looking at the model. Expected reasoning: Evidence: Two summaries both quote the same interview with Lea and are not separate testimony. Reasoning: two accounts from the same interview is supported because two articles rely on the same interview rather than independent testimony. Independent accounts can still share biases. Then write a brief alternative sentence, paragraph, source note or scene that demonstrates the same operation; label new fictional details and preserve source limits.
