Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Read or listen to the model and identify what the task asks before responding.

How to use this worksheet

  1. How many percentage points did unemployment fall?
  2. Identify two reasons the sole-cause claim is unsupported.
  3. Rewrite the headline to match the evidence.

A common mistake to discuss

Unemployment fell after the program; this brief does not isolate the program’s causal effect.

What to practice next

Create a different example that preserves the learning goal, and explain how you would check it.
