Day 114 · Fix the wrong destination

“That went somewhere else. Which link needs changing?”

Set up

Diagnose a particular mismatch. C07's adult practice model says VIEW PATTERN should open STRIPES, but its rule opens CIRCLES; the other route is correct. This is an invented adult error, not a claimed child mistake. 15–20 minutes.

Use scrap paper and three broad cards, or a familiar locally approved device. A short chosen part is enough. A wanted helper reads or constructs exactly as directed; name who chooses and who operates.

Run the session

  1. Read wanted meaning, current rule and both full pages.
  1. Predict current output from the current rule.
  1. Try it if wanted and record actual displayed/turned page separately.
  1. Compare that page with the intended meaning.
  1. Change only the mismatching link, Apply/reassemble, and try again.
  1. Return and check that the unchanged branch still does its job.

Choose a route

Notice and next help

Give credit to locating a link, including a correct keep decision for the other link. If the child changes artwork while the link stays wrong, compare a C08 example whose artwork is unchanged but its destination is repaired.
