Students build a shared trace matrix that links each drafted scene to source excerpts, issue notes, character perspective, and intended audience impact. The teacher models how to cite speeches, debate clips, campaign ads, headlines, and secondary accounts directly in script notes so claims can be verified. Teams flag at least one contradiction or anomaly that complicates their initial interpretation.
