About 22 minutes, plus any extended practice
Supplied materials
- Paper and pencil, or a browser text area. All named people/events/records are fictional learning inputs.
- Worked case: Excerpt A: Question: What changed in this workshop’s hinge records during May? Analyze during May. Excerpt B: Annotation: Trial Card A records five bends before tearing. Excerpt C: Question: When was the model displayed? Source: dated event card giving May 8. Excerpt D: Draft uses the source’s exact sentence; plan quotation marks and a matching citation.
- Primary check: Excerpt A: Question: What do adult volunteer replies say about the label? Analyze adult volunteer replies. Excerpt B: Annotation: Trial Card A is relevant because it measures the bend outcome named in my question. Excerpt C: Question: How were the panels attached? Source: numbered assembly instructions describing attachment. Excerpt D: Draft conveys the source’s idea in genuinely new wording; plan a matching citation.
Learn the idea
An annotation can summarize a source, assess its fit and limits and explain how it will be used. These roles differ from copying a citation alone.
Read what the annotation says about the source. Identify whether it reports content, fit, limitation or intended use.
Original worked input: Original excerpt B: Annotation: Trial Card A records five bends before tearing. The task is to identify an annotation’s component. The answer is “source summary”. Evidence: Annotation: Trial Card A records five bends before tearing. Reasoning: source summary is supported because it restates what the source reports. An annotation’s evaluation needs reasons.
- Read the supplied worked case and identify the part named in this lesson. An adult can model unfamiliar words.
- Read what the annotation says about the source. Identify whether it reports content, fit, limitation or intended use.
- Check the worked solution: source summary. Evidence: Annotation: Trial Card A records five bends before tearing. Reasoning: source summary is supported because it restates what the source reports. An annotation’s evaluation needs reasons.
- Use the new primary and practice cases. Give a reason from the actual words before checking the feedback.

evaluation of relevance
Evidence: Annotation: Trial Card A is relevant because it measures the bend outcome named in my question. Reasoning: evaluation of relevance is supported because it explains why that source addresses the question. An annotation’s evaluation needs reasons.
Take it further
Changed-input task: Original excerpt B: Annotation: the one trial leaves long-term wear unknown. Give an evidence-based answer before looking at the model. Expected reasoning: Evidence: Annotation: the one trial leaves long-term wear unknown. Reasoning: evaluation of limitation is supported because it identifies what one trial cannot establish. An annotation’s evaluation needs reasons. Then write a brief alternative sentence, paragraph, source note or scene that demonstrates the same operation; label new fictional details and preserve source limits.
