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)

Use a four-row chart: Genre | Who is telling? | Sample words | How it makes me feel or think. Fill the row for Text A, then Text B, then circle the biggest differences.

Practice with very short paired texts first (a tweet vs. a news headline).

Text: "I screamed as the roller coaster dropped." POV? Effect?
Answer: First-person; excitement.
Text: "The roller coaster reaches speeds of 60 mph." POV? Effect?
Answer: Third-person; informative.
Which helps you feel the experience?
Answer: The first.

🚀 Stretch it (got everything right)

Answer: Check for poetic form and a reasonable explanation.
Find two texts on the same topic online or in the library and compare their approaches.
Answer: Any comparison of genre, POV, and effect.
