# Day 189 · Give somebody a useful start

**Purpose:** create a clear handover and preserve actual source/reply limits. [C17](../contexts/C17.html)/[C18](../contexts/C18.html), [H09](../home/H09.html)/[X09](../projects/X09.html). D-first needs actual source-attribution/familiarity distinction instruction and may be later.

1. Choose private self-use or an agreeing actual recipient. Nobody needs to perform publicly or send a message.
2. Capture what the guide should communicate: job, ready parts, first action, pause/return or unknown check. Keep own words before examples.
3. Use one route. A reply is kept only if actually supplied; no reply remains honest and useful.
4. After capture, read [C17](../contexts/C17.html)'s specific one-person reply and [C18](../contexts/C18.html)'s unshared guide. Ask what the source can and cannot show.
5. An adult may manually review one local primary-source feature using the blank review sheet. The dated Council feature list is not a visit, child's familiarity, maker-intention account or classroom result.
6. Keep a usable guide and one honest question. If a source guess or all-user promise appears, return to the precise source, actual actor and unknown.

**Routes:** draw a broad picture start/return guide for private use; tell exact instructions to a willing person and retain their real words if offered; ask an adult to check one real local feature while using an original invented workspace route. No child web search or outing.

**Notice/next teaching:** communicated design and a bounded actual source/reply. Teach “found the first sheet” versus “liked the whole job” with an unrelated fiction. Genuine K01 evidence still requires actual familiar exploration.
