All entries below are invented practice data, not observations of a real room or child. Use broad locally approved objects only if actually enacting them. Keep the maker's own source/key/date labels. Change the interest context while retaining accurate identity/form/position/ownership evidence. The worked examples for check days are AFTER first-response capture only and use different sources from Checks E/F.

Day Domain 1 · exact worked example Domain 2 · exact worked example
41 Book corner: CLOSED BOOK at FIRST; CLEAN CLOTH at SECOND; BROAD EMPTY BOX at THIRD. Three actual approved props enact this row; three labelled drawings represent them. Pretend repair bench: LARGE CARDBOARD PANEL at FIRST; BROAD PAPER STRIP at SECOND; EMPTY CARTON at THIRD. Exact descriptions are a described record; adult-directed placement becomes constructed only when it happens.
42 Art table key: CIRCLE = PAPER PANEL; SQUARE = BROAD CARD; TRIANGLE = CLOTH. PAPER PANEL at FIRST is shown by CIRCLE at FIRST with that key. Pretend parcel desk key: OVAL = EMPTY CARTON; RECTANGLE = BROAD WRAP; DIAMOND = LARGE LABEL. BROAD WRAP at MIDDLE is RECTANGLE at MIDDLE; shapes do not have these meanings elsewhere.
43 Quiet reading tray: supplied BOOK at LEFT. If a willing reader actually says “book, left”, that comparison matches this supplied entry. This is a conditional example; no real reader reply or today's book location is supplied. Pretend display shelf: source LARGE CARD at RIGHT; practice role deliberately says “middle”. Child repairs the label spacing or rereads source. This invented response is practice, not actual independent reader evidence.
44 Maker's pretend map: MY OWN DRAWING can be my created data; the supplied adult map is not mine merely because I read it. No name/real map details collected. Pretend performance desk: MY OWN GUIDE KEY can be my created data; SUPPLIED MODEL KEY was supplied by another maker. Neither category needs an identifying value.
45 · AFTER New practice source ARTTRAYP: LARGE FOLDED PANEL at THIRD, BROAD CARD at FIRST, CLOTH at SECOND. Key OVAL = PANEL, RECTANGLE = CARD, TRIANGLE = CLOTH. Symbol entries: OVAL/THIRD, RECTANGLE/FIRST, TRIANGLE/SECOND. New practice source PACKINGP: EMPTY CARTON at SECOND, WRAP at THIRD, LARGE LABEL at FIRST. Key DIAMOND = CARTON, CIRCLE = WRAP, SQUARE = LABEL. Symbol entries: DIAMOND/SECOND, CIRCLE/THIRD, SQUARE/FIRST.
46 Art desk earlier PANEL/LEFT, CLOTH/MIDDLE, CARTON/RIGHT; later PANEL/MIDDLE, CLOTH/LEFT, CARTON/RIGHT. Panel and cloth change positions; carton stays. Retain both labels. Pretend puppet kit earlier BROAD SCENE CARD/FIRST, PAPER SCREEN/SECOND, CLOTH/THIRD; later CARD/THIRD, SCREEN/SECOND, CLOTH/FIRST. Card and cloth change; screen stays. No actual performance is supplied.
47 Pretend craft guide: BROAD CARD/LEFT, EMPTY BOX/NOT RECORDED. The box may exist; this record doesn't give its location. Ask for a checked entry or leave the gap marked. Pretend garden model: PAPER LEAF/FIRST, PAPER TREE/NOT RECORDED. “Probably SECOND” is a guess until checked; no real outdoor investigation or cultural plant knowledge is claimed.
48 Finder practice A/CLOTH/Words returns MIDDLE and MODEL TIME A. Input source/item/view and output are separately named. A paper lookup has the same data without a running-system claim. Finder practice C/BOOK/Pictures returns RIGHT and MODEL TIME C; the book drawing is picture form. An adult-only click is adult operation even if a child watches.
49 Child-selectable pretend train table: BROAD PAPER TRACK/LEFT, LARGE PAPER CAR/MIDDLE, EMPTY BOX/RIGHT. If actually locally checked, date/source/view are recorded; own key can be RECTANGLE/TRACK, OVAL/CAR, DIAMOND/BOX. Child-selectable pretend café props: EMPTY CARTON/FIRST, BROAD CLOTH/SECOND, LARGE PAPER MENU/THIRD. No food/order/private name required; only an actual approved arrangement becomes local observed data.
50 · AFTER New practice source DISPLAYP early CLOTH/LEFT, CARD/MIDDLE; later CLOTH/NOT RECORDED, CARD/RIGHT. Key CIRCLE/CLOTH, SQUARE/CARD. Later entries CIRCLE/NOT RECORDED and SQUARE/RIGHT. Do not copy cloth's old location. New practice source STORYP early BROAD SCREEN/FIRST, LARGE PANEL/SECOND; later SCREEN/SECOND, PANEL/NOT RECORDED. Key RECTANGLE/SCREEN, OVAL/PANEL. Later entries RECTANGLE/SECOND, OVAL/NOT RECORDED; next actual check is only planned.

Ten optional extra invitations

  1. 41: Make the smallest useful guide: one entry, then add a second without losing the first.
  2. 42: Ask a willing adult to invent a different meaning for a spare mark; keep both keys labelled.
  3. 43: Compare large-gap and close-gap model cards. Let the child choose which is easier to use; no universal preference inferred.
  4. 44: Tell a puppet why its supplied guide is not the child's creation. No identifying story needed.
  5. 45 · after capture: Make a two-item guide for a pretend art table using an entirely new key.
  6. 46: Keep earlier/later folders and give each an exact label. Invented dates stay labelled invented.
  7. 47: Be the “gap spotter”: find one deliberately missing practice field and choose a checking question.
  8. 48: Change only the view on the running finder or paper equivalent. Explain what stayed the same.
  9. 49: Try a child-chosen audience question, such as “Which entry would help you?” only with a willing reader.
  10. 50 · after capture: Design a new incomplete practice guide; ask what information remains unknown before making any guess.
