Contradictions

Work with contradictions begins at Lesson 5and has three major formats.

The first format

  • The first format (Lesson 5) teaches students how to recognise contradictions within a passage.
  • Students read a passage that has a star (*) in the middle.
  • Every statement before the star is true. One of the statements after the star contradicts one of the true statements.

The second format:

  • The second format (Lesson 23) teaches students to indicate why a statement contradicts another statement by citing a rule.
  • Statement: Blood in the aorta carries oxygen.
  • Contradiction: This blood looks almost black.
  • Rule that explains why: Blood that carries oxygen is red.

The third format:


The third format (Lesson 33) teaches students to read a passage that contains a contradiction, underline the contradiction and circle the statement in contradicts.
