Nobody was asked

An ordinary teaching idea. The example below is made up; your own work can stay private.

Have a go

  1. Make a private optional invitation for an own game.
  2. Keep it without giving it to anyone if wanted.
  3. Record only that it is prepared; no acceptance or refusal happened.

Example and reasoning

A maker prepares “Would you like to try my picture choice?” but sends/gives it to nobody. Ask what is ready and what has not happened. This is an invitation artefact, not a refusal or a willing recipient. Next help: retain 'not asked' and permit keeping it private.

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.
