Draft excerpt:
“Earthquakes occur when accumulated tectonic stress exceeds frictional resistance along a fault plane, causing a sudden release of elastic strain energy.”
Teacher feedback: “This is accurate, but the vocabulary is too complex for 5th graders. Make it easier to understand without losing the main idea.”
Which revision best fits the audience while keeping the purpose of informing?
