Arrival Task – Retrieving the shape of a paragraph
A paragraph in an account makes one point, not three.
Six extracts and three paragraphs means two extracts each, and the sort is the plan.
Arrival decision: Take the six extracts and the three point cards. Everyone works from the same nine.

Starter: Two paragraphs, same evidence
Two openings using the same extract.
Version A: “One source says the numbers rose sharply.”
Version B: “Employment in the town rose because of the works, and the wage returns show it.”
Version B opens with the point and treats the source as support. Version A opens with the source and leaves the point unstated.

I Do: Point, evidence, link
The diagram shows one paragraph. The point is stated first so a reader knows what the evidence is for.
Modelled: point, employment rose because of the works. Evidence, the wage return of that year, quoted with its date, and one sentence saying it records a rise in the same quarter the works opened. Link, so the growth the question asks about begins here rather than a decade later.

We Do: Sort the extracts. Match each to its point.
Extract 1: which point does it support, and what in it says so?
Extract 4: does it fit two points? Which one does it serve better?
Extract 6: what would you have to add to use it at all?
Sort first: sort all six extracts under the three point cards, then match each to the sentence it would support. Everyone commits at the same time, and then we hold up the first match together.
Evidence check
Two tables will sort extract four differently. Both stand if both say what work it does under that point. We ask for the work, not the placement.

I Do: Writing from the sort
The picture shows the sort becoming the account. Three piles, three paragraphs, in the order you chose.
Writing from a sort is faster than writing and then reorganising, which is why the sort is assessed as part of the account.
Decided together: point two opens, because its evidence is the hardest to argue with and the reader meets it first.

We Do: Write the sentence that closes a paragraph
Everyone drafts one link sentence on a whiteboard, then we hold up together.

Independent Work — Your record: the account
Write the account from your sort. The sort stays on the table beside it as part of the record.
◆ Supported
Two extracts matched and one paragraph written, scribing permitted.
▲ Standard
All six sorted and two paragraphs written with links.
★ Stretch
All three paragraphs written, each with point, evidence, explanation and link.
Check yourself: does every quotation carry its origin and date?
Check yourself: does every paragraph close with a link to the question?
⏸ Pens down — quick partner check!
Half way through: stop, swap with a partner, and check one thing on the list above together. Then carry on.
WAGOLL — what a good one looks like
A finished paragraph: point, employment rose because of the works. Evidence, the wage return of that year, quoted with its date, recording a rise in the same quarter the works opened. Link, so the growth the question asks about begins here rather than a decade later.
