- Use this as the centerpiece of a help session, opening with the Key Terms section so students share a common vocabulary before they practice.
- Discussion question: Why might a writer choose a formal style for a science report but an informal style for a text to a friend, and how do the word choices change?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them identify the main idea and one supporting statistic in each passage before writing their own one-sentence example.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to revise a passage's closure or add a text feature, then explain how the change improves audience engagement.
- Estimated time: About 45 to 60 minutes, with roughly 10 minutes for vocabulary and the remainder for passage practice and Quick Example writing.
