Wellspring International Bilingual School HanoiHanoi, Vietnam
Does the headline say more than the source can support? Use a Middle School reading task to find the evidence, explain its limits and write a more accurate headline. Bring your texts, class objective and language needs to PLAI™, then review the draft.

Use academic English to explain what the text supports.
Wellspring Hanoi combines Vietnamese and international learning, with English used across academic subjects including English Language Arts. Build on that bilingual context with a headline and a short source text. Ask learners to identify the claim, find a relevant passage and explain whether the wording stays within the evidence.

School context
Wellspring International Bilingual School Hanoi
Curriculum Vietnamese curriculum and American bilingual pathways
Topic focus checking headline claims against source evidence
What are you preparing next?
Read past the headline before deciding.
Show a headline first and ask what it leads learners to expect. Then reveal the source text. Have pairs mark a passage that supports the claim and any detail that narrows it, such as who was studied or when an event happened. Each learner rewrites the headline and explains one change using the text.
Your lesson prompt
Help me plan a Middle School critical reading lesson for my Wellspring Hanoi class. Ask for my grade, bilingual pathway, reading and writing objective, task and response languages, and a teacher-approved headline with its source text. Have learners record what the headline suggests, read the text, locate relevant evidence and identify any limits involving people, place, time or certainty. Ask each learner to keep or revise the headline and explain the decision using a specific passage. Use only the texts I supply; do not invent quotations, facts or source links. Include teacher-check notes on whether each conclusion follows from the text and whether the language support leaves the judgement to the learner.
Check what each source can establish.
Inspect the two fictional notices. Identify who produced them, when they were produced and which claims need a further check. For this page’s task, prepare the material around checking headline claims against source evidence.
Open the worksheet prompt
Help me prepare an original task about checking headline claims against source evidence for my confirmed class. I will supply the source content. Use Check the source before sharing a claim as a model for the teaching structure. Ask for my year group, goal and prior learning. Check the new subject content and age suitability, offer optional support and leave an independent explanation. Keep source facts distinct from this new task and do not infer school criteria.
Refine the worksheet
Review the new checking headline claims against source evidence task for my confirmed class. Check the subject content, reading load and response space. Add optional support while keeping an independent explanation. Apply the same checks to the actual accounts or sources for the class topic. Distinguish a stated fact, an inference and missing evidence.
Use the source as a teaching model, then review the new task for your confirmed class.
Check the next explanation.
For checking headline claims against source evidence, decide what pupils must explain independently. Apply the same checks to the actual accounts or sources for the class topic. Distinguish a stated fact, an inference and missing evidence.

Questions about using PLAI™ at Wellspring International Bilingual School Hanoi
Which Wellspring programme should I name?
Specify the Hanoi campus, your actual grade and bilingual pathway. Wellspring Hanoi lists distinct Middle School pathways and separate High School options. Add the objective and criteria your class uses rather than assuming the same task requirements across programmes.
How can I support English without supplying the judgement?
Choose the languages for reading and responding, then review a short glossary and sentence starters. Learners still select the passage, decide what it supports and explain their reasoning. A fluent response should not replace accurate use of evidence.
What if the text does not support the headline?
Ask learners to state the limit clearly. A claim may go beyond what this text establishes without being proven false. They can narrow the wording, identify what further evidence would be needed or explain why the original headline remains justified.
Are the recordings specific to this school?
The recordings show general PLAI™ worksheet workflows. They do not show this task or work from Wellspring International Bilingual School Hanoi. The prompts here are suggested starting points to adapt and review for your class.
Is this an official school page?
This is an independent TopSchool Teachers Hub page. It does not establish school endorsement or a partnership.
Does selecting my school give me school access?
Selecting a school or sharing a public link does not verify membership or grant access to private materials. Follow your school’s access arrangements.
