Make something you can actually use: a picture face, pretend stall label, story sign or private choice cue. Choose what it should help someone do, try two shapes, make a useful part, then find out something about it. Keeping it flat, changing it or leaving a question can all be useful design decisions.

Start today

A whole sheet and a comfortable surface are enough. Words, drawing, pointing, sign or AAC also work for planning; use a willing helper if wanted. Choose one job and ask, “Where would you look for it?” Keep the first idea. Then pick one of the three routes. The routes are choices, not a three-product checklist.

Allow about 15–25 minutes in short parts for a classroom offer, or 3–5 minutes for a home offer. These are planning estimates: stop sooner, take a break or come back. Locally check actual paper/card, marking/folding actions and support before handling. There is no cutting, glue, purchase, trip, real artwork or public audience requirement.

What the fortnight adds

Weeks 35–36 offered a table-game job; 37–38 offered a ready/use/return job. This is a new purpose/form/material project: a face for viewing, meaningful alternatives, actual suitable production, a purpose-linked check and a show-to-stored transformation. Earlier work is helpful only when it really exists. Day 191 gives a fresh entry; Days 193–194 reteach alternatives and steps.

The historical annual plan’s Week 39 visitor explanation and Week 40 honest handover provide context. This new subject sequence is original placement, not a rewrite of that historical plan or evidence of a completed year.

A beginning teacher can use six numbered moves, choose one route and keep one useful observation for tomorrow. A busy parent can use one home offer without the assessment pack. A child who wants a challenge can invent a gallery, shop or story-landmark job. A child who wants quiet can keep a private face and one question. A funder/reviewer can inspect full sources, mapping, criteria and limitations; classroom effectiveness is not claimed from a proposal.
