# Day 176 · What would you look for? Resource Weeks 35–36 · Queensland Prep / national Foundation · flexible session, often 25–35 minutes with pauses. This is a resource sequence, not a school-term date claim. ## Useful outcome Connect one wanted function to a suitable optional ordinary check and distinguish actor/action/result/preference. ## Before you start Read [Preparation](PREPARE.html), choose suitable available broad parts or a no-object route, and select [C11](../contexts/C11.html) / [C12](../contexts/C12.html) if useful. Keep first ideas before examples. ## The session 1. Begin with an own new or retained purpose. Ask one check question before showing an adult event model. 2. Agree actual suitable broad material, surface, operator, action and stopping point. No repeated-trial minimum, score or prescribed outcome. 3. Use a mechanism below. If an action occurs, keep its actual actor and only the observed or attributed reported result. If none occurs, retain the plan. 4. Read an unrelated ordinary source where one broad cue was placed and a chooser named a picture. Its single fictional event is not the class's result or proof about all games. 5. Invite an own keep/change preference separately from the observed event. A disliked result can be useful; a preference need not wait for a failed trial. 6. If result and prediction merge, use a before/proposed-action/actual-after strip. An unrecorded outcome after an action stays unknown, not automatically unperformed. ## Choose an engagement route - **Try one placement:** Choose a question about suitable own parts, make one wanted action and retain the actual observed result without promising success. - **Direct a checker:** Ask an agreeing helper for one suitable action. Record your question, who acted and what was actually seen or reported. - **Plan a check:** Draw or tell what you would look for and who would act. Leave the after result open; you can interpret C12 without conducting a trial. ## Notice and teach next **Contexts:** C11 one fictional result, next result unknown; C12 an explicitly unperformed check plan. **Observe:** actual performance only where observed, honest reported/unknown event separately. **Next teaching:** distinguish 'I hoped' from 'this time I noticed' on an unrelated cue.

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. Save an offered first idea before showing a worked example or a key. Record faithful access help separately from content/design help. Select only components actually taught and review exposure; the public forms are neither secure nor calibrated. Actual child making requires the child's own observed suitable action; adult manufacture is the adult's contribution. Actual familiar exploration is separate from interpreting a new fictional source. Never use response speed, handwriting, touch, compliance, sociability or length as design quality. These are original formative criteria, not official QCAA AP/MC/WW/EX/BA grading.
