A text can support more than one interpretation. Compare each reading with specific details and counterevidence, rather than claiming all readings are equally supported or only one response is allowed. These questions ask about the evidence-review method, not a required emotional response.
Worked example
An unanswered letter could suggest rejection or delay. A dated travel notice might support delay; the absence of a reply alone does not decide everything.
Make It Your Own
Optional theme: a place that changes overnight. Write a short ambiguous fictional ending. Develop two interpretations, cite a supporting detail for each, and identify what evidence would weaken each reading. You may draw, write or tell your idea. Use invented characters and places; no personal information or upload is needed. This activity is not scored.
Reflect on your choices
- Evaluate support without confusing ambiguity with anything goes.
- Explain one intentional choice and one possible alternative.
- There is no required style or single correct creative response.
