A worked writing example
Illustrative data: In a survey of 24 fictional students, 15 preferred a quiet indoor lunch space and 9 preferred an outdoor area. The larger group suggests demand for a quiet option among those surveyed. The small sample does not establish the preference of the whole school.
Look for these choices
- The report answers one clear inquiry.
- Findings can be traced to evidence or sources.
- The conclusion distinguishes results from interpretation.
Teacher prompt
What did you investigate, what does the evidence show, and how do you know?
Adjust the support: rehearse a sentence aloud, offer a small phrase bank or mark a model together. Ask learners to make a fresh choice independently when they are ready.
