Within the Unit Plan: colour display, source panel, four discussion anchors, whole-book evidence collectors, three practice sheets, matching red answers, three-page partner game, two rehearsal sheets with matching red answers, independent assessment with matching red marking guidance, rubric and three pages of teacher guidance.

Learning focus

Evidence in text and illustrations; relevant public-source facts; character action, event and setting in context; justified inference; supported alternative interpretation.

Classroom use

Use the colour model and source panel for explicit instruction; guide evidence collection in the lawful class books; let partners practise every turn of Context Detective; then use the black-and-white rehearsal and independent assessment. Written, oral or labelled-drawing responses can meet the same reasoning target.

Formats and answers

Digital PDF and PPTX files. The Unit Plan is 25 pages. The presentation is 18 slides; the quiz is 26 slides. Matching teacher answer/marking pages are included and placed after their student pages.

Teacher benefits

The evidence→source→connection routine makes the reasoning visible. The game requires an explained turn rather than luck. The rubric records observed learning and a targeted next step. All book-specific responses are checked against the teacher's actual class copies.
