Teacher copy · prompts and answer keys

Teacher copy: This page may include teaching prompts or answer keys. Answer keys in this public library can be viewed by anyone. Give learners a clean prompt, use checks as formative evidence, and change a case locally when prior access matters.

Each optional structure is 3+4+5+7+4+2 = 25 starting minutes. Timing/preparation is unmeasured. Adapt the pace, take one useful part or continue later. Use the small kit, switchable routes and device gate; one practical choice/representation comes first. Physical object, picture/symbol and real system evidence remain distinct. Integrated Week11 and Week12 are broader read-only contexts; their other-subject targets are not scored here.

Week 11 · Day 51 · Show one little plan

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK02; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “What does this character plan first?”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Read PUPPET-PLAN-11 in three short chunks; let the child point to a choice before extended talk.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. Show one picture and its activity, then its keyed symbol. Put the model aside.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Show/direct READ, MAKE, REST in the supplied order using a picture or symbol strip. If suitable objects are ready, represent one part with the object too.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Ask “Which choice does this mark show?” Keep one source-linked choice/position and actual representation/help.

  6. Close · 2 min. Keep the strip or choose a different story next time.

Week 11 · Day 52 · Choose our own three things

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK02, AC9TDIFP01; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “Your character, your plan. What could they do?”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Offer the three practice choices or their own activity; repetition, private choice and pass are fine.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. Adult models an unrelated MAKE, READ, MAKE plan. Explain that two MAKE choices are two occurrences, not an accidental extra activity.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Child chooses three activities for an invented character and makes/directs three broad pictures. Start with one part and continue later. Ask whose made strip it is without requesting a name.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Capture child choice/order/own-data identification and support separately. An adult-selected model is not the child's own choice.

  6. Close · 2 min. Choose a title, no title or keeping the plan private.

Week 11 · Day 53 · Same choices, another form

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK02; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “Can we show the same plan another way?”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Use the child's actual strip or the exact practice source. Read each position, one at a time.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. Match one activity across a suitable actual object, picture and keyed symbol; keep proposed object use separate where unavailable.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Child shows/directs the same chosen records in a different form. Use actual approved objects if available; repeated choices may show one object twice in order. Keep position/key visible.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Compare the source with the new representation. Accept an exact equivalent or ask which position needs another look; no memory race.

  6. Close · 2 min. Keep either form or both. Different decoration need not change the activity data.

Week 11 · Day 54 · Make the plan useful

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK02, AC9TDIFP01; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “Who might this little strip help?”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Choose a puppet story, an actual willing reader or private self-use. No person has to participate.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. Show how a large picture plus a clear key can explain one source record. Do not assign a reader response.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Child chooses a useful representation and directs/makes their own strip/key. If useful, ask neutrally “Whose made drawing or strip is this?” and record the child’s own identification or leave P01 unobserved. If a willing person tries it, ask what the first choice means and retain their exact action/words.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Notice whether the strip preserves the intended choices. A reader's actual answer and the child's preference are different evidence; no listener means NOT TRIED.

  6. Close · 2 min. Choose keep/change or private rehearsal; no upload or photo.

Week 11 · Day 55 · A new plan to represent

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK02; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “Here is a different character's plan.”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Give fresh Check G neutrally, one source chunk at a time. Keep practice examples and separate key away until first capture.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. Explain response options using empty spaces only; give no matching worked answer.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Child completes Check G through their chosen pointing/drawing/words/sign/AAC/director route. They represent its source order with a new form; actual objects only if locally prepared.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Save the first child-controlled response/help before feedback. Give one next teaching move; not a secure exam or speed grade.

  6. Close · 2 min. After capture only, offer the unrelated Day 55 practice choices or stop. Unfinished parts can continue at another short sitting; they are not yet observed, not wrong or a speed score.

Week 12 · Day 56 · A screen can show our choices

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK01, AC9TDIFK02; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “What could this screen help us show?”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Use the actual approved running helper after DEVICE-GATE, or the complete paper equivalent. Describe which route is actually used.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. On a real system name the physical device/control and the running helper, then choose one activity and notice its screen picture/word/symbol. A paper drawing is not software.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Child chooses/directs three slots in the helper or on paper. A real child-observed adult action is attributed; child operation and software recognition are noted only where observed.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Ask what changed on the actual screen and what the system was for; record actual child/device interaction separately from a paper plan. No use means device NOT OBSERVED.

  6. Close · 2 min. Clear the temporary helper choices or keep only an approved private paper sample.

Week 12 · Day 57 · Pick a form that works for us

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK02; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “Pictures, symbols or objects—which would you like to try?”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Offer all available representations to everyone; allow a switch or a private plan, with no fixed learning-style label.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. Read one pair of equivalent activity representations with its exact key. Both can hold the same data.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Child keeps the chosen activity/order and tries another available form or asks a willing reader one small question. Own preference can guide a choice without claiming universal readability.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record what the child represented, their actual preference and any real reader contribution. An inaccessible form is a reason to adjust, not a wrong data answer.

  6. Close · 2 min. Keep the form the child prefers today; it need not be their permanent route.

Week 12 · Day 58 · Find and repair a copy

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK02; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “Does this copy say the same thing?”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Use the child's original plan or the practice source. Preserve it; make a separate deliberate copy with one changed activity.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. Compare one position at a time, with exact labels and no timed memory challenge. A source change differs from a copying error.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Child compares the copy with its named original and repairs a mismatching picture/symbol or directs the adult. If their intended data changed, label a new plan rather than calling it a bad copy.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Ask which source position supports the repair. Capture actual match/change/help; do not grade motor precision.

  6. Close · 2 min. Keep a checked copy or choose a new plan later.

Week 12 · Day 59 · Keep, explain or share

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK02, AC9TDIFP01; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “What would you like to do with your plan?”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Child chooses private keeping, a willing reader, a puppet explanation or pass. No public audience, learner name or photo required.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. Adult models “My picture means…” on an unrelated strip, with creator and exact key clear.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Child explains/directs one actual own strip/key and identifies an example that is theirs, if ready. Share only through the locally agreed private scope; use supplied art attribution when relevant.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Record the child's actual meaning/source/own-data statement and support. A sharing invitation is not proof of a listener response or permission for publication.

  6. Close · 2 min. Choose one useful next idea or finish; no returned home record needed.

Week 12 · Day 60 · A repeated choice in a fresh plan

Target/codes: AC9TDIFK02; partial/conditional opportunities in crosswalk.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “One choice appears again. Show this new plan.”

  2. Choose/look · 4 min. Give fresh Check H neutrally. Keep its details away from earlier practice and capture before examples/key.

  3. Model/access · 5 min. Show empty response spaces and say repeated choices are permitted generally; supply no matching solution.

  4. Child task · 7 min. Child represents Check H, compares its separate copy with its source and explains/directs the needed repair using exact positions. Break into small parts or another sitting if useful.

  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Save first response and content help separately. An untried object/device route remains unobserved; a supported response is still useful for planning.

  6. Close · 2 min. After capture only, use the unrelated Day 60 repeat example or finish. Unfinished parts can continue at another short sitting; no speed/completion score.
