Unit review questions
1. Original excerpt A: We propose a large-type parts sheet beside the model for the next display. Use excerpt A only. Which element is supplied?
Need a hint?
  • A criterion tells how options are judged.
  • A proposed action is not an observed result.
2. Original excerpt B: Use on-model labels if they fit; if not, use the same named parts on a readable side sheet. Use excerpt B only. Which move is supported by the excerpt?
Need a hint?
  • If space permits states a condition.
  • A preference is not automatically a nonnegotiable constraint.
3. Original excerpt C: A made-up learner’s success is described as a real program outcome without its fictional label. Use excerpt C only. Which problem is shown in the words?
Need a hint?
  • A fictional case should be labeled fictional.
  • An attractive presentation does not establish a real outcome.
4. Original excerpt D: The sheet records attendance only, but the report calls those participants demonstrated masters. Use excerpt D only. Which distinction is explicitly at issue?
Need a hint?
  • A condition met is not a funding decision won.
  • A proposed benefit remains a prediction until evaluated.

Use the skills in a new task

Make a short complete response demonstrating the four skills in this unit. Draft a short original policy proposal for a fictional model exhibition. Define unreadable labels, propose a high-contrast redesign, give readability/cost criteria and a space condition. Include a conditional compromise and disclose that examples are fictional. Distinguish proposed access benefits from results not yet measured. Longer writing targets in optional extensions can be completed in a later session.

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Identify what the statement contributes to the proposal. Explain how it connects to the other elements.
  • Read what the speaker offers or asks. Name its function and the condition attached to it.
  • Use the supplied record to identify the actual disclosure problem. Propose a direct labeling or documentation repair.
  • Read the two concepts supplied and state the difference. Rewrite the claim using the narrower established term.
Compare with a model response

Problem: labels are unreadable under the stated small-text condition. Proposal: larger high-contrast labels and a text version. Criteria: readability, cost and space. If space permits, place larger labels beside each model; otherwise provide a large-print sheet. Examples are fictional and no access benefit has yet been measured. Available and accessible are different; a proposed benefit is not an observed outcome. The conditional compromise preserves the shared aim of usable information while admitting a space constraint.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
