Sokak Sanatı ve Mahalle Kimliği | Street Art and Neighborhood Identity
Bu ünitede öğrenciler 'mahalle ve şehir yaşamında sosyal kimlik' temasında bağlam temelli okuma sorularıyla karşılaşır. Metinde sokak sanatı gibi somut, görsel bir örnek üzerinden mahalle kültürü, topluluk değerleri ve sanatın toplumsal rolü tartışılır. Sorular öğrencinin metni yalnız bulma-seçme değil, çıkarım yapma, karşılaştırma, değerlendirme ve sentezleme gibi üst düzey becerileri kullanarak analiz etmesini gerektirir. Bu sayede soyut kavramları somut bağlamla anlamlandırması desteklenir.
In the old Balat neighborhood of Istanbul, teenagers decided to paint a mural on a blank wall. The mural showed the neighborhood's history: markets, cafes, and families living together for generations. At first, some residents complained—they said the wall should stay clean. But soon, visitors came to see the art. Local shop owners noticed more customers. The teenagers explained their work at community meetings. They showed how street art could tell stories about who they were. Now, people from other parts of the city come to Balat to see the mural. The neighborhood became known for its youth creativity. The teenagers proved that art could change not just walls, but community spirit too.

A) They thought the teenagers lacked artistic skills.
B) They believed the wall should remain empty and clean.
C) They wanted the neighborhood to remain unchanged and hidden.
D) They were concerned about the cost of the paint materials.
Metinde 'they said the wall should stay clean' açıkça belirtilmiştir. İlk seçenek metin tarafından desteklenmiyor, üçüncü seçenek çok geniş bir genelleme ve dördüncü seçenek hiç bahsedilmiyor.

Yeni Nesil Soru
YN. Suppose the neighborhood council is deciding whether to support three new youth art projects: (1) painting murals on more walls, (2) organizing art workshops for younger children, (3) opening a community art gallery. Based on what the mural project achieved—changing attitudes, attracting visitors, improving business, and building community spirit—which combination of two projects would most effectively continue the project's impact on both the neighborhood's identity AND its economy, and why might the third project be less urgent right now? (karar verme)
A) Projects 1 and 2, because murals create immediate income and children need education; the gallery should wait because space is expensive and hard to maintain.
B) Projects 1 and 3, because both are permanent; project 2 wastes money because teenagers are already creative.
C) Projects 2 and 3, because they are indoors and safer; murals on more walls might attract negative attention.
D) All three equally, because art is always good for neighborhoods and the council has enough budget.
Bu soru öğrencinin metne dayalı çıkarım yapmasını (mural başarısı = turist + müşteri + topluluk desteği) ve iki kritere göre değerlendirmesini (kimlik + ekonomi) gerektirir, ardından karar verme yapar. Seçenek 0 her iki kriteride mantıklı sebeplerle metin kanıtlarını kullanır; seçenek 1 metin kanıtsızdır; seçenek 2 mantıksal açıdan zayıftır; seçenek 3 bütçe/ucuzluk metin tarafından hiç değinilmediği için gerçekçi değildir.
