Coach: look at the exit check results and the paper practice. Go back over every item a student missed: read it together, have the student explain their thinking, then show the correct thinking. Use the reteach routine below for anyone who missed two or more. Students who got everything right take the stretch task.

🔄 Reteach it (missed two or more)

Before reading, ask: "What is this text's purpose: to inform, to make me feel, or to convince?" Match the voice: inform = steady, feel = expressive, convince = strong and emphatic.

Model one line from each genre and have the student echo it.

Echo (news): Officials confirmed the road is closed.
Answer: Steady and neutral.
Echo (poem): The heron waits / still as stone.
Answer: Slow, with a pause.
Echo (persuasive): We must act now!
Answer: Strong emphasis.

🚀 Stretch it (got everything right)
