## Reading a place twice — make a two-voice literary edition

A complete **1148-word original story**, first-person companion and short review support sustained reading, competing interpretations and students' own creative composition. Students begin an opening on Day 31, develop analysis and a companion scene, then assemble a private edition with an annotated passage and critical introduction. Titles, images, recording, public performance and a peer audience are optional. Students can select a useful partial component now and continue later.

Start with [teacher preparation/substitution/access](MATERIALS.md), [ten 50-minute plans](LESSONS.md), [ordinary complete sources](ORIGINAL-TEXTS.md) and [short learner invitations](LEARNER.md). Every plan splits after Step 3 into two 25-minute sittings. [Thirty switchable routes](DAILY-CHOICES.md), [twenty worked contexts](EXAMPLE-BANK.md) and [ten free home/self-study plus ten extensions](DAILY-EXTRAS.md) add choices without creating a daily quota. The [eight A4 pairs/exact alternatives](print/TEXT-ALTERNATIVES.md) include the whole story on three pages, contrast/review, two practical design aids and two separate fresh sources.

[Fresh Days 35/40](STUDENT-CHECKS.md) have **open interpretation/creative responses** and a [separate descriptive rubric/key/next moves](teacher/ANSWER-AND-NEXT.md). These public sources are new relative to practice, not secure examinations. Keep them and worked answers away from learners until the intended first response; log any prior exposure and support. A partial first response can continue later. Neither task is a QCAA IA, Unit 1 instrument by itself, A–E judgement or QCE result.

**Exact Queensland scope:** [QCAA English 2025 v1.3, January 2026](https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/downloads/senior-qce/syllabuses/snr_english_25_syll.pdf), General senior syllabus, Unit 1 *Perspectives and texts*. The [source crosswalk](CURRICULUM-CROSSWALK.md) maps selected objectives and printed page subject matter. Current official primary indexed text and cohort/version were checked 30 September 2026; direct PDF bytes/layout remain unverified after HTTP 403. This is a selected 8 h 20 min teaching module within a 55-notional-hour unit, not a full unit/year or national/all-state senior course. It follows [authored Days21–30](../weeks-05-06/README.md) while moving to a longer whole-story reading and own edition.

**Course breadth stays open:** School-selected required complete texts, text categories, Australian texts and Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander authored work are not fulfilled by these supplied original practice texts. A single short story is not the required prose collection. The school checks current syllabus, text choices, local timetable/assessment and access. Senior descriptors are QCAA numbered objectives/page locators; no F–10 AC9 code is applied here.

[Source/rights](SOURCE-AND-RIGHTS.md) and [desk/render/QA receipt](QA-RUN-THROUGH.md) state the verification limits. No child data, practising-teacher trial, human reviewer, reader outcome, cultural authority, translation or measured impact is supplied.
