Day 183 · Another way to get the job ready

Purpose: communicate meaningful alternatives and choose for purpose, preference or actual availability. C05/C06, H03/X03.

Read back an own job or invite a new one if earlier work is unavailable or unwanted.
Save a first proposed arrangement before showing alternatives. Ask what is ready and how someone starts.
Use one route to create a meaningfully different way. An alternative can change layout, cue form or order; a new colour alone need not change operation.
After both ideas, show C05's side-by-side and next-sheet proposals. Ask what the user would do differently, without declaring a winner.
Invite a chosen idea and reason. “Neither” with a revised purpose is useful; no physical testing is required to have a preference.
Keep both actual own proposals and the reason. Do not invent an earlier version when there was none.

Routes: draw two different ready/use views for one job; direct two different broad-paper arrangements to a willing helper and name their actions; tell a picture-cue routine and a spoken-cue routine for the same job without making either. These differ in representation and operation.

Notice/next teaching: a meaningful relationship difference and an own reason. If both copies only differ in decoration, use unrelated C06's paused-versus-continuous routine to teach an action difference, then return to own work.
