Source review complete · local suitability still needs review.
An ordinary teaching idea. The example below is made up; your own work can stay private.
Have a go
- Choose an invented garden-picture job, such as choosing a story path.
- Draw or describe your own first player action.
- Keep a start question; no real path or outdoor action is needed.
Example and reasoning
Available: broad paper and a pencil, no real plants or outdoor trip. A maker wants a player to choose a path in an imaginary garden picture. No layout or rules exist yet. Ask “What might the player do first?” Accept an own purpose-linked proposal, not a real garden fact. If 'all paths are safe' appears, retain fictional picture play and remove the real safety claim. Next help: on unrelated paper describe choosing a story picture, then invite a first action in the child's own purpose.
Grown-up help
Offer speech, sign, AAC, pointing, drawing, faithful dictation, usual home-language support when competent, private work, pause, rest or finish. Ask one part at a time and keep its meaning. No partner, winner, score, time limit or fixed response length is required. Use only locally suitable broad whole paper/card, a checked marking tool and a stable comfortable table. A helper may act exactly as directed; keep the child's idea and the actual operator's action separate. Record an actual event only when it happened. A missing record can mean unknown; it does not establish that no action happened. A supplied story remains fiction.
Show the worked reasoning after an offered own idea where useful. This context is not a held first/later source.
