Students begin by choosing the clearest option for each follow-up sentence, discussing their reasoning with a partner. Students then read a text about reference clarity and discuss the questions with their partner. Next, students read each sentence and underline the reference word, discussing what the reference could refer to. After that, students complete sentences with nouns from a box. Students then rewrite the second sentence in each sentence pair, making the reference clearer. Following that, students read a paragraph and underline four examples of unclear reference words. Next, students rewrite the paragraph, replacing each unclear reference with a clearer alternative.
